the manual mode by pressing the Program Select button repeatedly until the upper right corner of the display is blank.

Begin exercising and adjust the resistance of

3 the pedals.

As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the ped- als by pressing the + and – buttons. There are ten resistance levels; level 10 is the most chal- lenging. Note: After the buttons are pressed, it will take a few seconds for the selected setting to be reached.

Follow your progress with the feedback modes

4 and the left pace indicator.

When the con-

sole is turned on, the scan mode will be selected. As you exercise,

the display will

show your cur- rent speed, the

elapsed time, the distance that you have ped- aled, the current resistance level, and the approx- imate numbers of calories and fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING on page 13). The display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. Mode indicators will appear to show which feedback mode is currently shown. Note: Each time the resistance level changes, the console will show the resistance level for six sec- onds. When a Smart program is selected, the dis- play will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time.

If desired, you can select a single feedback mode for continuous display. Press the Display Mode button repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H), Time, Miles (or Kms), Resist., Cals., or Fat Cals. indicator appears in the display. Make sure that the Scan indicator does not appear.

In addition, a

pace indicator will appear in the display to show your exercise pace. As you

increase or decrease your pace, the pace

indicator will increase or decrease in height.

5 Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If you wear the optional chest pulse sensor and hold the handgrip pulse sensor at the same time, the console may not display your heart rate accurately.

If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal con- tacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the plastic. To use

the handgrip pulse sensor, place your hands on the metal contacts, with your palms on the near- est contacts and your fingers touching the far- thest contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator in the display will flash each time your heart beats. After a moment, two dashes (– –) will appear and then your heart rate will be shown.

For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note: When you first hold the handgrips, the display will show your heart rate continuously for 15 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other feedback modes.

When you are finished exercising, the console

6 will automatically turn off.

If the pedals are not moved and the console but- tons are not pressed for a few minutes, the con- sole will automatically turn off to conserve the batteries.
