The Program Display shows the name of the program selection and the dot-matrix area shows the course profile for the program. Each column in the profile shows one
interval (1/10 of thetotal program time). The higher thecolumn, the higher theresistance level and/orspeed for that interval. The flashing columnshows your current interval.
LevelLevel
Level
The Level display field shows the current resistance level. There are 8 resistance levels available.

RateRate
Rate
The Heart Rate display field shows the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the contact heart rate sensors (CHR). The heart icon flashes when the console receiver
senses the CHR signal. If the console receiver does not sense the CHR, the center of the heart icon is on solid.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact
your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only.

The Time display field shows the time count in the workout. If no preset time is set up for the current workout program, the display value starts at zero and counts
forward until the end of the workout. Maximum time is 99:59.
If the workout has a preset time, the display starts at the preset value and counts down to zero. The display shows the total time count for the workout, then the
time count for the current interval.

Sensors
Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel parts on the handlebars or the sides of the Console.
Note:Note:
Note:
The A10 bike has the CHR sensors on the Console. The A20 bike has the CHR sensors on the handlebars.
To use, put your hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your hands touch both the top and the bottom of the sensors. Hold firm, but not too tight or loose. Both
hands must make contact with the sensors for the Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.
Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now validate the heart rate. Many factors influence the
ability of the sensors to detect your heart rate signal:
Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) producesan electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with pulse detection. Slight hand movement while
in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.
Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.
Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.
If your heart rate signal ever seems erratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors and try again.

Your maximum heart rate usually decreases from 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to approximately 160 BPM by age 60. This fall in heart rate is usually linear,
decreasing by approximately one BPM for each year. There is no indication that training influences the decrease in maximum heart rate. Individuals of the same age could
