If you select Program 1, the maximum target
heart rate setting of the program will flash in the

however
, you should hold the handgrip pulse
sensor frequently for the program to operate
properly. Each time you hold the handgrip
pulse sensor
, keep your hands on the metal
contacts for at least 30 seconds. When you are
not holding the handgrip pulse sensor
, the letters
PLS will appear in the display instead of your
heart rate.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Program 1
This program is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments.
Program 2—This program is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate is
p
rogrammed for all segments of this program.
B
oth heart rate programs
As you pedal, the
console will regularly compare your heart rate to
the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is
too far below or above the target heart rate, the
resistance of the pedals will automatically increase
or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the
target heart rate.
During the program, the pace guide will also
prompt you to maintain a steady pedaling pace.
When one of the two lower indicators lights,
increase your pace; when one of the two upper
indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the
center indicator lights, maintain your current
pace.
Important: The pace guide is intended
only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
The display will show the time remaining in the
program. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds,
the program will pause and the time will flash in
the display. To restart the program, simply resume
pedaling.
Follow your progress with the display.
