FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the pedals can be changed
with the touch of a button. As you pedal, the console
will provide continuous exercise feedback. You can
even measure your heart rate using the built-in hand-
grip pulse sensor.
In addition, the console features two pulse programs
that change the resistance of the pedals and help you
to maintain a steady pedaling pace to keep your heart
rate near a target heart rate setting while you exercise.
The console also offers two preset programs. Each
program automatically changes the resistance of the
pedals and prompts you to increase or decrease your
pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective
workout.
To use the manual mode of the console, see the
instructions at the right. To use a pulse program, see
page 10. To use a preset program, see page 11.
Before using the console, make sure that batteries are
installed (see assembly step 6 on page 6). If there is a
sheet of clear plastic on the display, remove the plastic.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press the Increase button
or begin pedaling. The pace guide will light for a
moment; the console will then be ready for use.
Select the manual mode.
When the power is turned on, the manual mode
will be selected. If you have selected a program,
reselect the manual mode by pressing the
Program/Manual button until no program indica-
tors (see the drawing above) appear along the left
side of the display.
Change the resistance of the pedals as desired.
As you pedal,
change the resis-
tance of the pedals
by pressing the
Increase and
Decrease buttons.
There are ten resis-
MPH
tance levels. Note: After the buttons are pressed,
it will take a moment for the pedals to reach the
selected resistance level.

Monitoryourprogress with the display,
The upper half of
the display will
show the elapsed
time, the distance
you have pedaled,
and the resistance
level of the pedals.
The display will change from one mode to the
next every few seconds.
The lower half of
the display will
show your pedal- _ _"=__,,.,,,_MPH
ing speed and the _LJ, !
approximate num-
ber of calories you
have burned. The
display will change from one mode to the other
every few seconds. The lower half of the display
will also show your heart rate when you use the
handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5). Note: When a
program is selected (except for pulse program 1),
the display will show the time remaining in the
program instead of the elapsed time.
Note: The console can display speed and dis-
tance in either miles or kilometers. The letters
MPH or KM/H will appear in the lower half of the
display to show which unit of measurement is
selected. To change the unit of measurement, first
hold down the
Program/Manual
button for several
seconds. An E (for
English) or an M
(for metric) will
appear in the dis-
play. Press the
Increase button to change the unit of measure-
ment. When the desired unit of measurement is
selected, press the Program/Manual button again.
Note: When the batteries are replaced, it may be
necessary to reselect the desired unit of measure-
ment.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
If there are
sheets of clear
plastic on the
metal contacts
on the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove them.
Cont_
Next, hold the handgrip pulse sensor with your
palms resting on the contacts. When your pulse
is detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the
lower half of the display will flash each time your
heart beats, and your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrip pulse sensor for about 30
seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the hand-
grip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart
rate for about 30 seconds. The display will then
show your heart rate along with the other modes.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that
your hands are positioned as described. Avoid
moving your hands excessively or squeezing the
metal contacts too tightly. For optimal perfor-
mance, periodically clean the metal contacts
using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives,
or chemicals.
Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan at low speed, press the fan
button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press
the fan button a second time. To turn off the fan,
press the fan button a third time. Note: If the fan
is turned on but the pedals are not moved for thir-
ty seconds, the fan will automatically turn off to
conserve the batteries.
Slide the thumb tab
on the right side of
the fan to adjust
the angle of the
fan.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off.
If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, the
time will begin to flash and the console will pause.
If the pedals are not moved for a few minutes,
the console will turn off and the display will be
reset.

HOW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM
Pulse program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate
within a set range during your workout. Pulse program
2 is designed to keep your heart rate near a target
heart rate setting that you select.
Follow the steps below to use a pulse program.
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 8.
Select a pulse program.
To select pulse
program 1 or 2,
press the
Program/Manual
button repeatedly
until the number 1
or 2 appears
along the left side
of the display.
Enter a target heart rate.
If pulse program 1is selected, the maximum
target heart rate setting for the program will flash
in the display (see the drawing above). Press the
Increase and Decrease buttons to change the
setting, if desired (see EXERCISE iNTENSITY
on page 13). If the maximum target heart rate
setting is increased or decreased, the intensity
level of the entire program will increase or
decrease.
If pulse program 2is selected, the target heart
rate setting for the entire program will flash in the
display. Press the Increase and Decrease buttons
to change the setting, if desired (see EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 13).
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor continuously during a pulse program;
however, you must hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor frequently. Each time you hold the hand-
grip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the
metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note:
When you are not holding the handgrip pulse
sensor, the letters PLS will appear in the display
instead of your heart rate.
Begin pedaling to start the program,
Pulse program 1 is 30 minutes long, and is
divided into several time periods of different
lengths. One target heart rate is programmed for
each period. Pulse program 2 is sixty minutes
long (you may choose to use only part of the pro-
gram). The same target heart rate is programmed
for the entire program.
During the program, 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 setting, the resistance of the
pedals will automatically increase or decrease to
being your heart rate closer to the target heart rate
setting. Note: If the resistance level is too high or
too low, you can override it by pressing the
Increase and Decrease buttons. However, when
the console compares your heart rate to the tar-
get heart rate setting, the resistance may auto-
matically change.
After the first minute of the program, the pace
guide will help you to maintain a steady pedaling
pace. When one of the two lower indicators
lights, increase your pace; when one of the two
upper indicators lights, decrease your pace.
When the center indicator lights, maintain your
current pace. Important: The pace guide is
intended only to provide a goal, Make sure to
pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you,
v
RPM

RPM RPM
The display will show the time remaining in pulse
program 1, or the elapsed time in pulse program
2. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the
program will pause and the time will flash in the
display. To restart the program, simply resume
pedaling.
Monitor your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 9.
