Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the
optional chest pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must hold the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest
pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips con-
tinuously during the program. However, you
should hold the handgrips frequently for the pro-
gram to operate properly. Each time you hold
the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal
contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When
you are not holding the handgrips, the letters
“PLS” will appear in the lower display instead of
your heart rate.
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program is divided into several
one-minute segments. One resistance setting
and one target heart rate are programmed for
each segment. (The same resistance setting
and/or target heart rate may be programmed for
consecutive segments.)
During the program, the resistance of the pedals
will periodically change to keep your heart rate
near the target heart rate. Note: If the resistance
is too high or too low, you can adjust the resis-
tance by pressing the Resistance buttons.
However, when the current segment is complet-
ed, the resistance may automatically change.
During the pro-
gram, the two hor-
izontal bars in the
matrix will help
you to keep your
heart rate near the
target heart rate.
Note: If the hori-
zontal bars do not
appear in the
matrix, press the
left Mode button
repeatedly until
the Pace indicator is lit; make sure that the Scan
indicator is not lit.
The upper bar in the matrix represents a target
pace, and the lower bar represents your actual
pace. When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor
or wear the optional chest pulse sensor, the con-
sole will compare your heart rate to the target
heart rate for the current segment. If your heart
rate is too far below or above the target heart
rate, the upper bar will then change in length to
prompt you to increase or decrease your pace.
When the upper bar changes in length, adjust
your pace so that both bars are the same length.
Important: The target pace is intended only to
provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slow-
er than the target pace, especially during the
first few months of your exercise program.
Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort-
able for you.
The program will continue until no time remains
in the program.
Note: 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 two displays.
See step 4 on page 12. Note: During heart rate
programs, the upper display will show only your
current pace. If you select a different mode by
pressing the left Mode button, the matrix will
show only a graphic that represents your pulse.
For heart rate programs to function properly, it is
recommended that you leave the pace mode
selected so that the two horizontal bars appear in
the matrix.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 13.
When the program is finished, the console
will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 13.
