DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The innovative console offers a

manual mode and

three pacer pro- grams. The pacer

programs are designed to help you reach specific

exercise goals by

pacing your exer- cise. You can choose from a sta- mina-building Interval program,

an Aerobic pro- gram, and a spe-

cial Fat Burn pro- gram. As you

exercise, seven monitor modes will

provide continuous exercise feedback. The monitor modes are described below:

Speed—This mode shows your exercising pace, in kilometers or miles per hour (see HOW TO SELECT KILOMETERS OR MILES on page 13).

Time—If you select the manual mode, this mode will show the elapsed time. If you select one of the three pacer programs, this mode will count down the time remaining in the program.

Distance—This mode shows the distance you have s trided, in kilometers or miles.

Lap—This mode shows the number of laps you have completed. One lap equals 0.25 kilometers or miles.

Calorie—This mode shows the approximate number of calories you have burned.

Scan—This mode displays the above five

modes, for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.

Pulse—This mode shows your heart rate when the pulse sensor is used. (See step 5 on page 12.)

HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE
When you use a
			Actual
pacer program,
two columns of
bars will appear in
the display. The
left column repre-
sents a target
			Target
pace, and the right
column shows
your actual exercising pace. The target pace will
change periodically during the program; as the target
pace changes, simply adjust your exercising pace to
keep both columns at the same height.				Important: The
target pace is a	goal	pace. Your actual pace may be

slower than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The three graphs

on the console show how the tar- get pace will change during the programs. During

the Aerobic

program (P2), for example, the target pace will gradu- ally increase during the first half of the program, and gradually decrease during the last half of the program. Each program will last twenty minutes.
