FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers an array of features
designed to make your workouts more effective and
enjoyable. When you use the manual mode of the
console, you can change the resistance of the pedals
with the touch of a button. While you exercise, the
console will display continuous exercise feedback. You
can also measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor.
The console also features twenty preset programs.
Each program automatically changes the resistance of
the pedals and prompts you to vary your pedaling
pace as it guides you through an effective workout.
Choose among fitness, performance, and weight loss
programs for a targeted workout.
The console also offers two heart rate programs that
automatically control the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling pace to
keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings
during your workouts.
In addition, the console offers two custom programs
that allow you to create your own workout programs
and store them in memory for future use.
Whether you use the manual mode or a program, you
can enjoy the personal television while you get in
shape. You can even connect your DVD player or
VCR to the personal television.
The console also features an information mode that
allows you to adjust the television screen settings and
to set channels into the television’s memory.
To use the manual mode of the console, follow the
steps beginning on page 15. To use a preset
program, see page 17. To use a heart rate program,
see page 18. To create a custom program, see page
19. To use a custom program, see page 20. To
operate the personal television, see page 21.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face
of the console, remove the plastic.
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, the screen will light.
2. Select the manual mode.
Each time you turn on the console, the manual
mode will be selected. If you have selected a pro-
gram, reselect the manual mode by pressing any
of the program buttons repeatedly until a track
appears in the center of the screen.
3. Change the resistance of the pedals as
desired.
As you pedal, change the resistance of the pedals
by pressing any of the OneTouch Resistance
buttons numbered 1 through 12. Note: After you
press the buttons, it will take a moment for the
pedals to reach the selected resistance level.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
As you exercise, the screen can display the follow-
ing exercise information:
• The elapsed time. Note: When you select a pre-
set program or the second heart rate program,
the screen will show the time remaining in the
program instead of the elapsed time.
• The distance you have pedaled, in total revolu-
tions.
• Your pedaling pace in revolutions per minute
(rpm).
• The approximate number of calories you have
burned.
• The resistance level of the pedals each time the
resistance changes.
• Your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse
sensor (see step 5 on page 16).
When you select
the manual mode,
a track represent-
ing 1/4 mile will
appear on the
screen. As you
exercise, segments
will appear in suc-
cession around the track until the entire track
appears. The track will then disappear and the
segments will again begin to appear in succession
When the television is off, you can press the
Display button repeatedly to view either time and
pace information or to view all exercise information
on the screen.
When the television is on, you can display exer-
cise information on the right side or the bottom of
the screen. Or, you can turn off the exercise infor-
mation while you watch the television. Press the
Display button repeatedly to select the desired dis-
play mode.

16
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are sheets
of clear plastic on
the metal contacts
on the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the plas-
tic. To measure
your heart rate,
hold the handgrip
pulse sensor with
your palms resting against the metal contacts.
Avoid moving your hands or gripping the con-
tacts too tightly.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will
appear on the screen. For the most accurate heart
rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 sec-
onds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, the screen will show your heart rate
for up to 30 seconds.
If the screen does not show your heart rate, make
sure that your hands are positioned as described.
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or
to squeeze the metal contacts too tightly. For opti-
mal performance, clean the metal contacts using a
soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or
chemicals to clean the contacts.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the console will pause. The
time will also flash in the display. If the pedals do
not move for several minutes and the buttons are
not pressed, the console will turn off and the dis-
play will be reset. Note: If the console does not
turn off after several minutes, the console is in the
“demo” mode. See HOW TO USE THE INFORMA-
TION MODE on page 22 and turn off the demo
mode.

HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you begin pedaling or press a but-
ton, the screen will light.
2. Select a preset program.
To select one of the 20 preset programs, press the
Aerobic Performance button, the Aerobic Fitness
button, or the Weight Loss button repeatedly until
the desired program appears on the screen. When
a preset program is selected, a diagram of the
resistance set-
tings for the
program will
appear on the
screen. The
arrow below the
diagram will
indicate your
progress during the program. In addition, the
screen will show the total program time, the maxi-
mum pace setting for the program, and the maxi-
mum resistance setting for the program.
3. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
Each program is divided into 20, 30, or 45 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target pace setting are programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance and/or target
pace setting may be programmed for consecutive
segments. The resistance level for the current seg-
ment will be indicated by the height of the diagram
above the arrow.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, a series of tones will sound.
If the resistance is about to change, the resistance
level will appear on the screen to alert you. When
the first segment ends, the arrow below the dia-
gram will move one position to the right.
The pedals will then automatically adjust to the
resistance level for the second segment.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for
the current segment. When the color of the RPM
display on the screen is white or blue, increase
your pace. When the RPM display is yellow or
pink, decrease your pace. When the RPM display
is green, maintain your current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target pace settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al pace may be slower than the target pace set-
ting. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance but-
tons. However, when the current segment of the
program ends, the pedals will automatically adjust
to the resistance level for the next segment.
The program will continue in this way until the
arrow reaches the right end of the diagram. To
stop the program at any time, stop pedaling. A
tone will sound and the time will flash in the dis-
play to indicate that the program is paused. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling.

HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the
screen will light.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the two heart rate programs,
press the Heart Rate Control button once or twice
until the desired program appears on the screen.
If you select the first heart rate program, a
track and the target heart rate setting (bpm) for the
program will appear on the screen.
If you select the second heart rate program, the
maximum target heart rate setting (bpm) and a
diagram of the target heart rate settings for the
program will appear on the screen. The arrow
below the diagram will indicate your progress.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
If you select the first heart rate program, the
target heart rate setting (bpm) for the program will
appear on the screen. Press the increase and
decrease buttons above the Heart Rate Control
button to change the target heart rate setting, if
desired. Note: The same target heart rate setting
will be programmed for the entire program. See
EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23 for heart rate
guidelines.
If you select the second heart rate program, the
maximum target heart rate setting of the program
will appear on the screen. Press the increase and
decrease buttons above the Heart Rate Control
button to change the maximum target heart rate
setting, if desired. Note: If you change the maxi-
mum target heart rate setting, the intensity level of
the entire program will change. See EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 23 for heart rate guide-
lines.
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during a heart rate program; how-
ever, 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.
5. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
First heart rate control program—The same tar-
get heart rate setting is programmed for all seg-
ments of this program.
Second heart rate program—This program is
divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target
heart rate setting is programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same target heart rate setting
may be programmed for consecutive segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment
will be indicated by the height of the program dia-
gram. When the first segment ends, the arrow
below the diagram will move one position to the
right.
The program will continue in this way until the
arrow reaches the right end of the program dia-
gram. To stop the program at any time, stop pedal-
ing. A tone will sound and the time will flash in the
display to indicate that the program is paused. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling.

Both 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 set-
ting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate clos-
er to the target heart rate setting.
You will also be prompted to pedal at a steady
pace. When the color of the RPM display on the
screen is white or blue, increase your pace. When
the RPM display is yellow or pink, decrease your
pace. When the RPM display is green, maintain
your current pace. IMPORTANT: Make sure to
exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Note: You can manually override the resistance
level setting; however, if you change the resis-
tance level, you might not maintain the target heart
rate. Also, when the console compares your heart
rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance
of the pedals may automatically increase or
decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the tar-
get heart rate setting.
6. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 15.
7. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 16.
8. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 16.
HOW TO CREATE A CUSTOM PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the
screen will light.
2. Select a custom program.
To select a custom program, press the Create
Your Own button once or twice until the desired
custom program appears on the screen.
3. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program, and program the desired
settings.
Each custom program is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. You can program one resistance
level and one target pace for each segment.
To program a resistance level for the first segment,
simply adjust the resistance of the pedals by
pressing the OneTouch Resistance buttons. To
program a target pace for the first segment, simply
pedal at the desired pace.
At the end of the first segment, the program will
store the current resistance level and your current
pace in memory. Program a resistance level and a
target pace for the second segment as described
above.
Continue exercising for up to forty minutes. Press
the Create Your Own button when you are finished
with your workout. The program you created will
then be stored in memory. Note: If your workout is
less than forty minutes long, any remaining seg-
ments in the program will be stored with the last
programmed resistance level and target pace.
4. When the program is finished, the console will
turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 16.

ment.
At the end of each segment, the resistance level
will appear on the screen. The resistance of the
pedals will then automatically change to the resis-
tance level programmed for the next segment.
As you exercise, you will be prompted to keep
your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for
the current segment. When the color of the RPM
display on the screen is white or blue, increase
your pace. When the RPM display is yellow or
pink, decrease your pace. When the RPM display
is green, maintain your current pace.
