ment, press the increase and decrease buttons
beside the ENTER button. Then, press the ENTER
button to move to the next segment of the profile.
Program a resistance level and a target rpm setting
for the second segment as described above.
Continue to program resistance levels and target
rpm settings until all segments of the custom pro-
gram have been programmed.
Note: While programming segments, press the
ENTER button to move to the right in the profile;
press the BACK button to move to the left in the
profile.

HOW TO USE A CUSTO PROGRA
1. Press any button or begin pedaling to activate
the console.
See HOW TO ACTIVATE THE CONSOLE on page
12.
2. Select a custom program.
To select one of the two CUSTOM programs, first
press the CUSTOM/HEART RATE button repeat-
edly until the name of the desired custom program
appears in the main display. A profile of the resis-
tance settings of the program, the maximum
resistance level, the program time, and the maxi-
mum rpm setting for the program will also appear
in the display. Then, press the ENTER button to
confirm your selection.
Note: If only a level row of indicators appears
in the program profile, see HOW TO CREATE A
CUSTO PROGRA on page 19.
3. Enter your age.
A moment after you select a CUSTOM program,
the words “ENTER A E” and an age setting of 35
will flash in the main display. To enter your age,
press the increase and decrease buttons beside
the ENTER button. Then, press the ENTER button.
4. Enter your weight.
Next, the words “ENTER WEI HT” and a weight
setting of 185 pounds (US) will appear in the main
display. To enter your weight (1 kilogram = 2.2
pounds), press the increase and decrease buttons
beside the ENTER button. Then, press the ENTER
button.
5. Press the START button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
Each CUSTOM program is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One resistance setting and one
target rpm (pace) is programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or
target rpm may be programmed for consecutive
segments.
During the program, the program profile will show
your progress (see the drawing to the left). The
flashing column of the profile represents the cur-
rent segment of the program. The height of the
flashing column indicates the resistance level for
the current segment. At the end of each segment
of the program, a series of tones will sound and the
next segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a
different resistance level is programmed for the
next segment, the resistance level will appear in
the display for a few seconds to alert you. The
resistance of the pedals will then change.
As you exercise, keep
your pedaling pace
near the target rpm set-
ting for the current
segment, which is
shown in the main dis-
play.
I PORTANT: The target rpm settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual pace may be slower than the target rpm
settings. ake sure to pedal at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
