HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
1 Turn on the console.
Note: The console requires four “D” batteries (not included). If you have not installed batteries, refer to step 3 on page 5 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 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.
3 Begin pedaling and adjust the resistance of the pedals.
As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the ped- als 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.
4 Follow your progress with the feedback modes and the left bar graph.
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, and the approximate numbers of calories and fat calories you have burned (see FAT BURNING on page 17). In addition, your heart rate will be shown when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 at the right). Note: Each time the
resistance level changes, the console will show the resistance level for six seconds. When a Smart program is selected, the display will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time.
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.
In addition, the left pace indicator will appear in the display to show your exercise pace. As you increase or decrease your pace, the indicator will increase or decrease in height.

To use the handgrip pulse sensor, 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 moving 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 dash- es (–
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.
6 When you are finished exercising, the console 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.
