HOW to USE a Smart Program

Increase Arrow

Pace Indicators

1 Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 10.

2 Select one of the four Smart programs.

Each time the console is turned

on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a Smart program, press

the Program

Select button repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, or 4 appears in the upper right corner of the dis- play.

The profiles in the center of the console show how the resistance of the pedals and the target pace will change during the Smart programs. For example, profile number 3 shows that during Smart program 3, the resistance will gradually increase during the first half of the program, and then gradually decrease; the target pace will alter- nately increase and decrease.

3 Start the program.

To start the program, simply begin pedaling. Each Smart program consists of either twenty or thirty, one-minute periods. One resistance setting and one pace setting are programmed for each peri- od. (The same resistance setting and/or pace set- ting may be programmed for consecutive peri- ods.)

During the program, the resistance of the pedals will automatically change as shown by the applic- able profile on the console. Note: If the current resistance level is too high or too low, you can change the resistance level by pressing the + and – buttons. However, when the current period of the program is completed, the resistance level will automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next period.

The target pace settings for the program will be shown by the right pace indicator in the display (see the drawing at the upper right). The left pace indicator will show your actual exercise pace. As the right pace indicator changes in height, simply adjust your pace so that both pace indicators are

at the same height. If your pace is slower than the current target pace, the increase arrow will appear in the display to prompt you to increase your pace; if your

pace is faster than the target pace, the decrease arrow will appear. Important: The target pace settings for the program are intended only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slow- er than the target pace settings, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

During the program, the display will show the time remaining in the program. If you continue exercis- ing after the program is completed, the display will continue to show your exercise feedback.

4 Follow your progress with the feedback modes.

See step 4 on page 10.

5 Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 10.

When you are finished exercising, the console

6 will automatically turn off.

See step 6 on page 10.
