During the program, slow your pedaling speed briefly and measure your heart rate regularly (refer to step 5 on page 10). Each time you mea- sure your heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease, if neces- sary, to keep your heart rate near the preselect- ed percentage of your maximum heart rate. It is not necessary to keep your hands on the metal contacts when you are not measuring your heart rate. Note: If your heart rate is not shown, press the reset button to reset the pulse sen- sor.
To turn off the power, simply wait for about three minutes. If the pedals are not moved and the console buttons are not pressed for three minutes, the power will turn off automatically.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the recumbent cycle regularly. The recumbent cycle can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the con- sole out of direct sunlight.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console does not function properly, the batteries should be replaced. To replace the batteries, the handlebar must be removed. See assembly step 5 on page 6 to remove the handlebar. Next, refer to assembly step 4 to install batteries.
PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
¥Avoid moving your hands while using the pulse sen- sor. Excessive movement may interfere with heart rate readings.
¥If your heart rate is not shown when the pulse sen- sor is used, press the reset button to reset the pulse sensor.
¥Do not hold the metal contacts too tightly; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings.
¥For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the metal contacts for about 15 seconds.
¥For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. The contacts can be cleaned with a soft clothÑnever use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
