HOW TO INSTALL THE RECEIVER FOR THE OPTIONAL CHEST PULSE SENSOR
if you purchase the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 19), follow the steps below to install the receiver
included with the chest pulse sensor,
1, See assembly step 5 on page 6, and remove the two
M4 x 25mm Screws (not shown) and the Bookraek (8),
Next, look under the console and locate the three indio
cated screws (not shown), Remove the three screws,
Do not remove the screws attaching the Console to

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective, When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the resistance of the pedals can be changed
with the touch of a button, As you exercise, the con-
sob will provide continuous exercise feedback, You
can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip
pulse sensor, Note: See page 19 for information
about an optional chest pulse sensor.
The console also offers six preset programs, Each pro-
gram automatically changes the resistance of the ped-
als and prompts you to increase or decrease your pace
as it guides you through an effective workout,
in addition, the console features two heart rate pro-
grams that automatically change the resistance of the
pedals and prompt you to vary your pace to keep your
heart rate near a target heart rate as you exercise,
The console also features iFIT,com interactive technol-
ogy, Having iFIT,com interactive technology is like hav-
ing a personal trainer in your home, Using the included
audio cable, you can connect the exercise cycle to your
home stereo, portable stereo, computer, or VCR and
play special iFIT,com CD and video programs (iFIT,com
CDs and videocassettes are available separately),
iFIT,com CD and video programs automatically control
the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to vary
your pace as a personal trainer coaches you through
every step of your workout, High-energy music pro-
vides added motivation, To purchase iFiT.com CDs
and videocassettes, calt toil-free 1-877-994-4999.

if your heart rate is not shown, make sure that
your hands are positioned as described, Avoid
moving your hands excessively or squeezing the

HOW TO USE PRESET PROGRAMS
Begin pedaling to activate the console.

When a preset program is selected, the matnx
will show the first six resbtance settings of the
program,
Press the Program Start button or begin
pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several time seg-
ments of different lengths, One resistance setting
is programmed for each segment, (The same
resistance setting may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments,)
The resistance
setting for the first Current Segment
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix, The
resistance settings
for the next five
segments wiii be shown in the columns to the
right,
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, a series of tones wiii sound;
all resistance settings will then move one column
to the left, The resbtance setting for the second
segment will then be shown in the flashing
Current Segment column and the resbtance of
the pedals will automatically change to the resis-
tance setting for the second segment,
The program wiil continue until the resistance set-
ting for the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column of the matrix and no time
remains in the program,
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment by
pressing the Resistance buttons, However, when
the next segment begins, the resistance will auto-
matically change if a different resistance setting is
programmed for the next segment, if you stop
pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound
and the program will pause, To restart the pro-
gram, simply resume pedaling,
Use the pace (RPM} guide.

Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 60% and 85% of your estimated maxi-
mum heart rate while you exercise, Note: Your maxi-
mum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age
from 220, For exampb, if you are 30 years oUd,your
estimated maximum heart rate is 190 (220 - 30 =
190),
Heart rate program 2 will keep your heart rate near a

To use a heart rate program, you must hold the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest
pulse sensor, if you use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips con-
tinuously during the program, However, you
should hold the handgrips frequently for the pro-
gram to operate properly, Each time you hold
the handgrips, keep your hands on the metaJ
contacts for at teast 30 seconds. Note: When
you are not holding the handgrips, the letters
"PLS" will appear in the lower display instead of

Begin pedaling.
Each heart rate program is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate is pro-
grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-
get heart rate may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments, if heart rate pro-
gram 2 is selected, the same target heart rate is
programmed for ali segments.
If heart rate pro-
gram 1 is select- Current Segment

heart rate setting
for the first seg-
ment wHi be

flashing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. The target heart rate settings for the
next five segments wHi be shown in the columns
to the right. When oniy three seconds remain in
the first segment of the program, a series of
tones wHi sound; all target heart rate settings wifl
then move one column to the left, The target
heart rate setting for the second segment wHi

if heart rate program 2 is selected, the same

therefore, the target heart rate settings wHi not be
shown in the matrix. When oniy three seconds
remain in the first segment of the program, a
series of tones wili sound and the time wili flash
in the right dispiay.
As you pedai, the console wili regulariy compare
your heart rate to the target heart rate. if your
heart rate is too far bellow or above the target
heart rate, the resistance of the pedais wili auto-
maticaliy increase or decrease to being your heart
rate cioser to the target heart rate.
