Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
I
t is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor continuously during a pulse control pro-
g
ram; however, you should hold the handgrip
pulse sensor frequently for the program to oper-
ate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal
contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Pulse control program 3
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.
The target heart rate
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn in the center of
the display. The tar-
get heart rate settings for the next four segments
will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and
all target heart
rate settings will move one column to the left.
The target heart rate setting for the second seg-
ment will then be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column.
Pulse control program 4 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a
shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ-
ent program before the program ends.
During both pulse control programs, the con
-
sole 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 setting,
the resistance of the pedals will automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting.
After the first minute of the program, the Pace
Coach will prompt you to maintain a consistent
p
edaling pace. When one of the “Too Slow”
arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one
o
f the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your
pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain
your current pace.
Important: The target heart rate settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual heart rate may be slower than the tar-
get heart rate settings. Make sure to exercise
at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current seg-
ment, if desired, by pressing the increase and
decrease buttons. However, when the console
compares your heart rate to the target heart rate
setting, the resistance of the pedals may auto-
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone
will sound and the program will pause. To restart
the program, simply resume pedaling.
Monitor your progress with the display.

When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
