Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest pulse sensor.
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 metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the handgrips, the letters “PLS” will appear in the lower display instead of your heart rate.
Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program is divided into several
During the program, the resistance of the pedals will periodically change to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate. Note: If the resistance is too high or too low, you can adjust the resis- tance by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the current segment is complet- ed, the resistance may automatically change. During the pro-
gram, the two hor- izontal bars in the matrix will help you to keep your heart rate near the
target heart rate. Note: If the hori-
zontal bars do not appear in the matrix, press the left Mode button repeatedly until
the Pace indicator is lit; make sure that the Scan indicator is not lit.
The upper bar in the matrix represents a target pace, and the lower bar represents your actual pace. When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest pulse sensor, the con- sole will compare your heart rate to the target heart rate for the current segment. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the upper bar will then change in length to prompt you to increase or decrease your pace. When the upper bar changes in length, adjust your pace so that both bars are the same length.
Important: The target pace is intended only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slow- er than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort- able for you.
The program will continue until no time remains in the program.
Note: If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
Monitor your progress with the two displays.
See step 4 on page 12. Note: During heart rate programs, the upper display will show only your current pace. If you select a different mode by pressing the left Mode button, the matrix will show only a graphic that represents your pulse. For heart rate programs to function properly, it is recommended that you leave the pace mode selected so that the two horizontal bars appear in the matrix.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 13.
When the program is finished, the console will automatically turn off.
