as shown. Feed the Resistance Cable (6) and the
Reed Switch Wire (4) into the Frame, and then slide
the Handlebar Post into the Frame. Be care ul not

HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAT
For effective exer-
cise, the Seat (8)
should be at the
proper height; as
you pedal, there
should be a slight
bend in your knees
when the pedals
are at the lowest
position. To adjust
the Seat, first turn
the Seat Knob (3)
counterclockwise
several turns to loosen it. Next, pull back the Seat
Knob, slide the Seat Post (9) to the desired height,
and release the Seat Knob. Move the Seat Post up
or down slightly until it locks into place. Turn the
Seat Knob clockwise to tighten it.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDALING RESISTANCE
To vary the intensi-
ty of your exercise,
the pedaling resis-
tance can be
adjusted. The
resistance is con-
trolled with the
Resistance Knob
(10). The arrows
to the left of the
Knob show which
direction the Knob must be turned to increase or
decrease the resistance. As the resistance is
changed, the green and red indicator between the
arrows will also change.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
To adjust each
Pedal Strap (64),
pull the end of the
Pedal Strap off the
tab on the pedal.
Align the desired
hole in the Pedal
Strap with the tab
and press the
Pedal Strap back onto the tab.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE
The innovative
console offers a
manual mode
and three pacer
programs. The
pacer programs
are designed to
help you achieve
specific exercise
goals by pacing
your exercise.
You can choose
from a stamina-
building Interval
program, an
Aerobic program,
and a special Fat
Burn program. As
you exercise, seven monitor modes will provide con-
tinuous exercise feedback. The monitor modes are
described below:
Pulse—This mode shows your heart rate when
the pulse monitor is used.
Speed—This mode shows your pedaling pace, in
kilometers or miles per hour (see HOW TO
S L CT KILOM T RS OR MIL S on page 10).
Time—If you select the manual mode, this mode
will show the elapsed time. If you select one of
the three pacer programs, this mode will count
down the time remaining in the program.
Distance—This mode shows the distance you have
pedaled, in kilometers or miles.
Lap—This mode shows the number of laps you
have completed. One lap equals 0.25 kilometers
or miles.
Calorie—This mode shows the approximate
number of calories you have burned.
Scan—This mode displays the other six modes,
for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.

HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pacer program, two
columns of bars
will appear in the
display. The left
column represents
a target pace, and
the right column
shows your actual
pedaling pace. The target pace will change periodical-
ly during the program; as the target pace changes,
simply adjust your pedaling pace to keep both
columns at the same height. Important: The target
pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace may be slow-
er than the target pace, especially during the irst
ew months o your exercise program. Be sure to
exercise at a pace that is com ortable or you.
The three graphs
on the console
show how the tar-
get pace will
change during the
programs. ach
graph is divided
into ten columns of bars. ach column represents a
two-minute period, and each bar represents a target
pace of 5 mph (8 kph). In graph P1, for example, there
is one bar in the farthest left column. This shows that
during the first two minutes of program P1, the target
pace will be 5 mph (8 kph). In the second column
there are five bars. This shows that during the second
two-minute period, the target pace will be 25 mph (40
kph). ach program will last for twenty minutes.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Be ore the console can be operated, batteries
must be installed. (See assembly step 5 on page 6.)
Follow the steps below to operate the console.
Turn on the power
To turn on the
power, press
the on/reset
button or
simply begin
pedaling. The
entire display
will appear for two seconds; the console will then
be ready for use. Note: If batteries were just
installed, the power will already be on.
Select one o the three pacer programs or the
manual mode
To select one of
the pacer
programs,
repeatedly press
the program
button. The pro-
gram indicator
will show which
program you
have selected.
To select the
manual mode, press the program button until the
program indicator disappears. The programs will
be selected in the following order: program 1
(Interval), program 2 (Aerobic), program 3 (Fat
Burn), manual mode.
Begin your workout
I you selected
the manual
mode, go to
step 4. If you
selected one of
the pacer pro-
grams, two
columns of bars
will appear in
the display. The left column will show one bar,
showing that the target pace is 5 mph (8 kph).
The right column will show your actual pedaling
pace. Adjust your pedaling pace until only one
bar appears in the right column. ach time the
target pace changes during the program, adjust
your pedaling pace to keep both columns at the
same height.
Follow your progress with the LED track and
the seven monitor modes
The LED
track—The
L D track rep-
resents a dis-
tance of 0.25
kilometers or
miles. As you
pedal, the indi-
cators around
the track will light one at a time until you have com-
pleted one lap. A new lap will then begin.

The pulse
mode—To use
the pulse
mode, the
pulse monitor
must be worn.
Plug the pulse
monitor into
the jack on the
left side of the
console and
attach the pulse monitor to your left ear lobe.
Slide the metal clothes clip onto your collar.
Next, repeated-
ly press the
mode button
until a “P”
appears in the
display. (Make
sure that there
is not an arrow
under the scan
symbol.) When
your pulse is
detected, the
heart-shaped indicator will flash each time your
heart beats. After a few seconds, three dashes
will appear and your pulse will be shown. For the
most accurate pulse measurement, wait for
about ten seconds.
If your pulse is not shown, rub your ear lobe and
reposition the pulse monitor. It may be helpful to
stop pedaling while you measure your pulse.
The scan
mode—
Repeatedly
press the
mode button
until an arrow
appears under
the scan symbol. When the scan mode is selected,
the console will display the pulse, speed, time,
distance, lap and calorie modes, for 5 seconds
each, in a repeating cycle.
The speed,
time, distance,
lap, or calorie
mode—
Repeatedly
press the mode
button until an
arrow appears below or above the desired mode
symbol. Make sure that there is not an arrow
under the scan symbol.
If desired, press the on/reset button to reset the
display.
Turn o the power
To turn o the power, simply wait or about
six minutes. If the pedals are not turned and the
buttons are not pressed for six minutes, the
power will turn off automatically.
HOW TO SELECT KILOMETERS OR MILES
The console can display distance and speed in either
kilometers or miles. If a “KPH” appears in the display,
distance and speed will be shown in kilometers; if a
“KPH” does not appear, distance and speed will be
shown in miles.
To change the unit of
measurement, first
remove the four
screws attaching the
console (see draw-
ing 1). Lift the con-
sole a few inches
and turn it over,
being careful not to
pull on the wires.
Next, look into the
hole below the bat-
tery door, and locate
the small switch (see
drawing 2). (Note: It
may be necessary to
look into the hole
and to the left side to
find the small
switch.) Slide the
switch up or down to change the unit of measurement.
Reattach the console with the four screws.
