L_Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 11) or the optional chest pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not necessary to hold the handgripscontinuouslyduring the program. However, you should hold the handgripsfre- quently for the program to operate properly.Each
time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal contacts for st least 30 seconds.
Note: When you are not holdingthe handgrips, the letters "PLS"will appear in the right display instead of your heart rate.
[]Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program consistsof 20 one- minute segments. One resistancesetting and one heart rate setting are programmed for each segment. (The same resistance setting and/or heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.)
The resistance |
| |
setting for the first |
| |
segment will be |
| |
shown in the flash- |
| |
ing Current | Current Segment t | |
Segment column | ||
| ||
of the matrix. The |
|
resistancesettings
for the next several segments will be shown in the
columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and aft resistance settings will move one column to the left. The resistance setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flash- ing Current Segment column and the resistance of the exercise cycle will automatically adjustto the resistance setting for the second segment.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help you to keep your heart rate near the heart rate setting for the current segment. The lit indicators in the bar will show your actual pace. When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor (or wear the optional chest pulse sensor), the console will periodically compare your heart rate to the heart
rate setting for the current segment; if
necessary, an indi- cator in the bar will
then flash to
promptyou to increase or
decrease your pace to bringyour heart rate closerto
the current heartTRAININGZONES rate setting. If an
indicatorto the
right of the lit indicatorsis flashing (see drawing a), increase your pace. If an indicatorto the/eft of any lit indicatoris flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace. When no indicatoris flash- ing, your heart rate is near the current heart rate setting. Important: The heart rate settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual heart rate may be slower than the cur- rent heart rate setting. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue untilthe resistance set- ting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column of the matrix and no time remains in the program.
Note: During the program, you can manually over- ride the resistance settingfor the current seg- ment, if desired, with the Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the exercise cycle will automatically adjust to the resistance setting for the next segment. If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
r_ Monitor your progress with the two displays. See step 4 on page 10.
BTurn on the fan if desired. See step 6 on page 11.
[]When the program is finished, the console will automatically turn off.
See step 7 on page 11.
