Note: The console requires four “D” batteries (not included). If you have not installed batteries, refer to step 5 on page 7 and install batteries.

To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button or begin pedaling.

2 Select the manual mode.

Each time the console is turned on, the

manual mode will be select- ed. If a Smart program, a Heart Rate pro-

gram, or the iFIT.com mode has been selected, select the manual mode by pressing the Program button repeatedly until the upper right corner of the display is blank.

Begin exercising and adjust the resistance of

3 the exercise cycle.

As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the exercise cycle as desired by pressing the + and – buttons. There are ten resistance levels; level 10 is the most challenging. 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 pedaled, the current resistance level, the approximate number of calories you have burned, and the approximate number of fat calo- ries you have burned. In addition, your heart rate will be shown when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 on this page). Note: Each

time the resistance level changes, the console will show the resistance level for six seconds. In addition, when a Smart program or a Heart Rate program is selected, the display will show the

time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time.

In addition, the left pace indicator will appear in the display to show your exercise pace. As you

increase or decrease your pace, additional bars will appear or disappear on the pace indicator.

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.

5 Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the plastic.

To use the hand- grip pulse sen- sor, place your hands on the metal contacts. Your palms must be on the upper contacts and your fingers

must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid mov- ing 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 sec- onds. 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.
