HOW TO USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL
PROGRAM
1. Press the Resistance decrease button or begin
pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the dis-
play will light.
2. Select the heart rate control program.
Press the Programs button repeatedly until the
words HEART RATE CONTROL appear in the dis-
play.
3
. Enter a target heart rate.
The target heart rate
setting for the program
will flash in the display.
Use the Resistance
increase and decrease
buttons to change the
target heart rate setting.
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to
hold the handgrip pulse
sensor continuously;
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 sen-
sor, the letters PLS will appear in the display
instead of your heart rate.
5. Begin pedaling to start the program.
During the program, the console will regularly com-
pare your heart rate to the target heart rate. 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.
You will also be prompted to pedal at a steady
pace so you can maintain your target heart rate.
When the words PEDAL FASTER appear in the
display, increase your pace. When the words
PEDAL SLOWER appear in the display, decrease
your pace. When the words PEDALING IN
RANGE appear, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to exercise at a pace
that is comfortable for you. Note: If you manual-
ly override the resistance settings, you may not
maintain your target heart rate.
To stop the program at any time, stop pedaling.
The time will begin to flash in the display. To restart
the program, simply resume pedaling.
