2. Select a custom program.
To select one of the two custom programs, first
press the Custom/Heart Rate button repeatedly
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 con-
firm 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 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 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. Start the program.
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
setting 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.
