HOW TO ADJUST THE HEIGHT OF THE SEAT
For effective exercise, the seat should be at the proper
height. As you pedal, there should be a slight bend in
your knees when the pedals are in the lowest position.
To adjust the seat,
first turn the seat
knob counterclock-
wise several turns
to loosen it. Next,
pull back the knob,
slide the seat post
up or down as
desired, and then
release the knob.
Move the seat
post up or down
slightly to make
sure that it locks
into place. Finally, turn the knob clockwise to retight-
en it.
HOW TO ADJUST THE HANDLEBARS
The handlebars can
be adjusted to either
of two height set-
tings. If you want to
adjust the height,
see assembly step 6
on page 7.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PEDAL STRAPS
To adjust the
pedal straps, first
pull the ends of
the straps off the
tabs on the ped-
als. Press the
straps back onto
the tabs using dif-
ferent holes in the
straps.
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 continu-
ous 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 pedalling pace,
in kilometres per hour.
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 pedalled, in kilometres.
Fat Calories—This mode shows the approximate
number of fat calories you have burned (see
BURNING FAT on page 12).
Calories—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 TO OPERATE THE EXERCISE CYCLE

10
HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
pacer program, two
columns of bars will
appear in the dis-
play. The left col-
umn represents a
target pace, and the
right column shows
your actual ped-
alling pace. The target pace will change periodically
during the program; as the target pace changes, sim-
ply adjust your pedalling pace to keep both columns
at the same height. Important: The target pace is a
goal pace. Your actual pace may be slower than
the target pace, especially during the irst ew
months o your exercise program. Be sure to exer-
cise at a pace that is com ortable or you.
The three graphs
on the console
show how the
target pace will
change during the
programs. During
the Aerobic
program (P2), for example, the target pace will gradu-
ally increase during the first half of the program, and
gradually decrease during the last half of the program.
Each program will last for twenty minutes.
STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION
Be ore the console can be operated, two batteries
must be installed. (See assembly step 5 on page 7.)
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
pedalling. 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,
indicating a relatively slow target pace. The right
column will show your actual pedalling pace.
Adjust your pedalling pace until only one bar
appears in the right column. Each time the target
pace changes during the program, adjust your
pedalling pace to keep both columns at the same
height.
Follow your progress with the seven monitor
modes
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, repeat-
edly 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 measure-
ment, 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 pedalling whilst 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, fat calories, and
calories modes, for 5 seconds each, in a repeat-
ing cycle.
The speed,
time, distance,
at calories, or

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.

EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first round your
age to the nearest ten years and find your age at the
bottom of the chart. Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers are your “training
zone.” The smallest number is the recommended
heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning; the largest num-
ber is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively
low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. 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 smallest num-
ber in your training zone as you exercise. For maxi-
mum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise
until your heart rate is near the middle number in your
training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart
rate is near the largest number in your training zone.
WARNING: Be ore beginning this or any
exercise program, consult your physician.
This is especially important or individuals
over the age o 35 orindividualswithpre-
existinghealthproblems.
WARNING: The pulse monitor is not a med-
ical device. Various actors may a ect the
accuracy o heart rate readings. The pulse
monitor is intended only as an exercise aid
in determining heart rate trends in general.
EXERCISE GUIDELINES
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle regu-
larly. The exercise cycle can be cleaned with a soft,
damp cloth. To prevent damage to the console, keep
liquids away from the console and keep the console
out of direct sunlight.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console does not function properly, the batteries
should be replaced. To replace the batteries, refer to
assembly step 5 on page 7.
HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE
If the exercise
cycle does not sit
flat on the floor,
turn one or both
of the levelling
pads until the
exercise cycle is
level. evelling
Pads

13
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
You can measure your heart rate using the included
pulse monitor.
Another way to
measure your
heart rate is to
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. (A six-second count is used because your
heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.)
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three
important parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases
your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in
preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising 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.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular
exercise, you may plan up to five workouts each
week, if desired. Caution: Be sure to progress at
your own pace and avoid overdoing it. Incorrect
or excessive training may result in injury to your
health. Remember, the key to success is to make
exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your every-
day life.
