Distance
TheDISTANCEdisplayeldshowsthedistancecount(milesorkm)oftheworkouttotwo
decimalplaces—forexample,2.07.Themaximumdisplayablevalueis99.99.Ifthedistance
exceeds99.99,thedisplaystartsagainat0.00.
Note: To change the measurement units to English Imperial or metric, refer to the “Service

The Heart Rate display shows the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the heart rate sen-
sors.Theiconwillashwhenithasasignal.Thisvaluewillnotbeshownifaheartratesignalis

Contact Heart Rate Sensors
Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel
parts of the Handlebars. To use, put your hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your hands touch both the
topandthebottomofthesensors.Holdrm,butnottootightorloose.Bothhandsmustmakecontactwiththesensors
for the Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.
OncetheConsolehasyourinitialheartrate,donotmoveorshiftyourhandsfor10to15seconds.TheConsolewillnow
validatetheheartrate.Manyfactorsinuencetheabilityofthesensorstodetectyourheartratesignal:
• Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere
with pulse detection. Slight hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.
• Hand lotion or calloused hands may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.
• SomeElectrocardiogram(EKG)signalsgeneratedbyindividualsarenotstrongenoughtobedetectedbythesensors.
• Theproximityofotherelectronicmachinescangenerateinterference.
Heart Rate Calculations
Yourmaximumheartrateusuallydecreasesfrom220BeatsPerMinute(BPM)inchildhoodtoapproximately160BPMby
age60.Thisfallinheartrateisusuallylinear,decreasingbyapproximatelyoneBPMforeachyear.Thereisnoindication
thattraininginuencesthedecreaseinmaximumheartrate.Individualsofthesameagecouldhavedifferentmaximum
heartrates.Itismoreaccuratetondthisvaluebycompletingastresstestthanbyusinganagerelatedformula.
Yourat-restheartrateisinuencedbyendurancetraining.Thetypicaladulthasanat-restheartrateofapproximately72
BPM, where as highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.
The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovas-
cular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is
shown.
Themostefcientproceduretoburnfatduringexerciseistostartataslowpaceandgraduallyincreaseyourintensityun-
tilyourheartratereachesbetween60–85%ofyourmaximumheartrate.Continueatthatpace,keepingyourheartrate
in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.
The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your

20
optimal target rate may be higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.
Note:Aswithallexercisesandtnessregimens,alwaysuseyourbestjudgmentwhenyouincreaseyourexercise
time or intensity.
