HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1.Press any button on the console or begin ped- aling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 14.
2.Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the heart rate programs, press the Heart Rate Programs button repeatedly until the words HEART RATE 1 or HEART RATE 2 appear in the display.
3.Enter a target heart rate setting.
A few seconds after you select a heart rate pro- gram, the words ENTER HEART RATE will appear in the display and the number 110 will begin to flash.
During heart rate program 1, the same target heart rate setting will be programmed for all seg- ments of the program. If you have selected heart rate program 1, press the increase and decrease buttons above the Heart Rate Programs button to enter the desired target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 20).
During heart rate program 2, different target heart rate settings will be programmed for different segments of the program. If you have selected heart rate program 2, press the increase and decrease buttons above the Heart Rate Programs button to enter the desired maximum target heart rate setting for the program (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 20).
4.Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen- sor continuously during heart rate programs; how- ever, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the programs to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
5.Begin pedaling to start the program. Heart rate program 1 is divided into 40 one- minute segments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or select a different program before the program ends.
Heart rate program 2 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 consecutive segments.
During the program, the program profile in the dis- play will show your progress. The flashing column of the profile represents the current segment of the program. The height of the flashing column indicates the target heart rate setting for the cur- rent segment. At the end of each segment of the program, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash.

During both programs, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting for the current segment of the program. 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. Each time the resistance changes, the resistance setting will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you.
While you exercise, you will be prompted to main- tain a constant pedaling speed. If an upward- pointing arrow appears in the display (see the drawing above), increase your speed. If a down-
If the resistance setting for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the setting by pressing the OneTouch Resistance but- tons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the resistance of the pedals may automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate clos- er to the target heart rate setting.
