Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during a pulse control pro- gram; however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the program to oper- ate properly. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Pulse control program 3 is divided into 30 one- minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment col- umn in the center of the display. The tar-
get heart rate settings for the next four 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 target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the second seg- ment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column.
Pulse control program 4 is divided into 40 one- minute segments. The same target heart rate set- ting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ- ent program before the program ends.
During both pulse control programs, the con- sole will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
After the first minute of the program, the Pace Coach will prompt you to maintain a consistent pedaling pace. When one of the “Too Slow” arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
Important: The target heart rate settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual heart rate may be slower than the tar- get heart rate settings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Note: During the program, you can manually over- ride the resistance setting for the current seg- ment, if desired, by pressing the increase and decrease buttons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals may auto- matically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
Monitor your progress with the display. See step 4 on page 13.
Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 14.
When you are finished exercising, the console will automatically turn off.
