CONSOLE DIAGRAM FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The easy-to-use console features five modes that
provide instant exercise feedback during your
workouts.
Scan (SCAN)—This mode displays the time, speed,
distance, and calories modes, for a few seconds each,
in a repeating cycle.
Time (TMR)—This mode displays the elapsed time.
Note: If you set a time goal (see step 2 on page 13),
this mode will show the time remaining in your workout.
Speed (SPD)—This mode displays your pedaling
speed, in miles per hour.
Distance (DST)—This mode displays the distance you
have pedaled during your workout, in miles. Note: If
you set a distance goal (see step 2 on page 13), this
mode will show the distance remaining in your workout.
Calories (CAL)—This mode displays the approximate
number of calories you have burned during your work-
out. Note: If you set a calorie-burning goal (see step
2 on page 13), this mode will show the number of
calories still to be burned in your workout.

HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE
Make sure that batteries (not included) are installed
in the console (see assembly step 7 on page 9). If
there is a sheet of plastic on the console, remove the
plastic.
1. Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press any button on the
console or simply begin pedaling.
2. Set a workout goal if desired.
To set a time, distance, or calorie-burning goal for
your workout, press the MODE button repeatedly
until the letters TMR, DST, or CAL appear in the
display. Make sure that the word SCAN does not
appear in the display.
Next, press the SET button repeatedly to set a
goal. To set a goal quickly, hold down the SET but-
ton. To reset the goal, press the RESET button.
3. Begin pedaling and follow your progress with
the display.
Scan mode—To select the scan mode, press the
MODE button repeatedly until the word SCAN
appears in the display.
Time, speed, distance, calories mode—To select
one of these modes for continuous display, press
the MODE button repeatedly until the name of the
desired mode appears in the display. Make sure
that the word SCAN does not appear in the display.
As you exercise, the console will provide instant
feedback about your workout. If you have set a
workout goal, the display will show zeros when
you reach your goal; if you continue to exercise,
the display will begin to count upward.
To pause the console, stop pedaling. The word
STOP will appear in the display. To continue your
workout, simply resume pedaling.
To reset the display and all the modes to zero,
press and hold the Reset button for several
seconds.
4. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for a few seconds, the
console will pause.
The console has an auto-off feature. If the ped-
als do not move and the console buttons are not
pressed for a few minutes, the power will turn off
automatically to save the batteries.

MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for optimal
performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly
tighten all parts each time the exercise bike is used.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the exercise bike, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild detergent. IMPORTANT: To
avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away
from the console and keep the console out of
direct sunlight.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console display becomes dim, replace the
batteries (see assembly step 7 on page 9); most
console problems are the result of low batteries.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. Before adjusting the
reed switch, turn the resistance knob to the lowest
setting.
Next, loosen the
screws (not shown)
in the Shields (23, 24),
and carefully pull the
Shields apart.
Locate the Reed
Switch (17), and slide
it upward or down-
ward slightly. Then,
turn the pedals for
a moment and see
whether the console
displays correct feed-
back. Repeat this
step until the console
displays correct feedback.
When the console displays correct feedback, reattach
the Shields (23, 24).

15
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for
successful results.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-
sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-
est ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-
cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after
the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin
to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to
burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart
rate, exercise for at least
four minutes. Then, stop
exercising and place
two fingers on your
wrist as shown. Take a
six-second heartbeat
count, and multiply the
result by 10 to find your heart rate. For example, if your
six-second heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140
beats per minute.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-
utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise; never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-
cise, you may complete up to five workouts each week,
if desired. Remember, the key to success is to make
exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday
life.
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi-
cian. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.
