Note: The console is compatible with Bluetooth®
Smart heart rate monitors.
Note: If you use both heart rate monitors at the
same time, the chest heart rate monitor will
have priority.
If there are sheets of
plastic on the metal
contacts (A) on the
handgrip heart rate
monitor, remove the
plastic. To measure
your heart rate, hold
the handgrip heart rate
monitor with your palms
resting against the con-
tacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping the
contacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will
appear in the display. For the most accurate
heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least
15 seconds.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
The fan has several speed
settings, including an auto
mode. While the auto mode
is selected, the speed of the
fan will automatically increase or decrease as your
exercise intensity increases or decreases. Press
the fan increase and decrease buttons repeatedly
to select a fan speed or to turn off the fan.
Note: If the pedals do not move for about 30
seconds, the fan will turn off automatically.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, the
console will pause and the time will flash in the
display. To resume your workout, simply resume
pedaling.

HOW TO USE AN ONBOARD WORKOUT
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the
console to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the display will turn
on. The console will then be ready for use.
2. Select an onboard workout.
To select an onboard workout, press the desired
Onboard Workouts button repeatedly until the
desired workout appears in the display.
When you select an onboard workout, the display
will show the name of the workout and the dura-
tion of the workout or the number of calories to be
burned.

level for the workout will also appear in the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance level and one target RPM
is programmed for each segment. Note: The same
resistance level and/or target RPM may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments.
If a different resistance level and/or target RPM is
programmed for the next segment of the workout,
the resistance level and/or target RPM 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 speed near
the target RPM for the current segment.
IMPORTANT: The target RPM is intended only to
provide motivation. Your actual pedaling speed
may be slower than the target RPM. Make sure
to pedal at a speed 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 Quick Resistance buttons.
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level programmed for
the next segment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To pause the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. The time will flash in the display. To
resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.
To end the workout, press the End/Summary but-
ton. A summary of the workout will appear in the
