HOW TO USE RESISTANCE AND PACE
PROGRAMS
_11 Press any button on the console or begin pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 14.
BSelect one of the resistance and pace programs.
When the power is turned on, the manual mode will be selected. To select a resistance and pace program, press the Program
button repeatedly until "P 1," "P 2," "P 3," "P 4," "P 5," "P 6," "P 7," or "P 8" appears in the right display.
When a resistance and pace program is selected, the matrix will show the first ten resistance set-
tings of the program. The left display will show how long the program will last.
_1 Press the Start button or begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several time seg- ments of different lengths. One resistance setting and one pace setting are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or pace setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.
The resistance
setting for the first | Current Segment |
| |
segment will be |
|
shown in the flash- |
|
ing Current Segment column of the matrix. (The pace settings are
not shown in the matrix.) The resistance settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and all resistance set- tings will move one column to the left. The resis- tance setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the resistance of the elliptical exerciser will automatically change to the resistance setting for the second segment. Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit after the resistance settings have moved to the left, the resistance settings will move downward so that only the highest indicators appear in the matrix.
As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for the cur-
rent segment. The lit indicators in the
bar will show your
actual pace. If an indicator to the
right of the lit indi- cators is flashing (see drawing a),
increase your pace. If an indicator to the left of any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is flash- ing, your pace matches the pace setting for the current segment. Important: The pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the current pace setting. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue until the 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 override the resistance setting, if desired, by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance will automati- cally change if a different resistance setting is pro- grammed for the next segment. If you stop pedal- ing for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
