FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more effective.
When you use the manual mode of the console, you
can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch
of a button. As you exercise, the console will display
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or the
optional chest pulse sensor. Note: For information
about the optional chest pulse sensor, see page 15.
The console also features eight smart programs that
automatically change the resistance of the pedals and
prompt you to vary your pedaling pace while guiding
you through effective workouts.
In addition, the console offers two heart rate programs
that automatically control the resistance of the pedals
and prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling pace
to keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings
during your workouts.
To use the manual mode of the console,follow the
steps beginning on page 11. To use a smart program,
see page 12. Touse a heart rate program, see
page 13.
IMPORTANT: If the exercise cycle has been
exposed to cold temperatures, allow it to warm to
room temperature before turning on the power.If
you do not do this, the console displays or other
electrical components may become damaged.
