the face of the console,
remove it.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative console offers a manual mode and
three pacer programs. The pacer programs are
designed to help you achieve your exercise goals by
pacing your exercise. The programs include an 18
MPH/90 RPM program, a 12 MPH/60 RPM program,
and a 6 MPH/30 RPM program. The console also fea-
tures five monitor modes that provide continuous exer-
cise feedback. Note: On some consoles the pro-
grams are listed in MPH and on others in RPM.
Both sets of programs are identical.
HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pacer program, an
indicator will light
on each track of
the P.A.C.E.R.
display. The outer
track shows a tar-
get pace; the inner
track will show
your actual pace.
The target pace
will change periodically during the 18 MPH/90 RPM
and 12 MPH/60 RPM programs; as the target pace
changes, simply adjust your pace to keep both indica-
tors even. Important: The target pace is a goal
pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the tar-
get pace, especially during the first few months of
your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
The graphs on the left side of the console show how
the target pace will change during each program (see
the drawing above). Each graph is divided into ten
columns, and each column represents 1/10 of a mile.
The bars in each column show what the target pace
will be during that 1/10 of a mile. For example, in the
first column of the 12 MPH/60 RPM graph, there is
one bar. This shows that during the first 1/10 of a mile
in this program, the target pace will be 6 MPH (30
RPM). In the second column, there are two bars, indi-
cating that the pace is now 12 MPH (60 RPM).
DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES
The five monitor modes provide continuous exercise
feedback. The modes are described below.
¥ SpeedÑThis mode shows your pace, in miles per
hour.
¥ TimeÑThis mode counts the length of time you
have exercised. Note: If you stop exercising for ten
seconds or longer, the time mode will pause.
