If you have not entered your age, press the + or – button beside the Enter button to enter your age, and then press the Enter button. Note: Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory.
If pulse program

part of the display. You must enter a
target heart rate to use this program. (See the chart on page 20 for heart rate guidelines.) If you have already entered a target heart rate, press the Enter button and go to step 4. If you have not entered a target heart rate, press the + or – but- ton beside the Enter button, and then press the Enter button.

4 Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrips continu- ously during a pulse program; however, you must hold the handgrips frequently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold the hand- grips, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the handgrips, the letters PLS will appear in the large display instead of your heart rate.
Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
5 start the program.
Program 1 consists of 30
When only three seconds remain in the first period of the program, a series of tones will sound and the time will flash in the display.
During the program, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will auto- matically increase or decrease to being your heart rate closer to the target heart rate. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can change it by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the target heart rate, the resistance may automatically change.
As you pedal, the
pace guide will prompt you to increase or
decrease your ped- aling pace. When one of the indica-
tors on the left side of the pace guide lights, increase
your pace; when one of the indicators on the right side lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace.
Important: The target heart rate is intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
The program will continue until no time remains in the display. If you stop pedaling for several sec- onds, the program will pause and the time will flash in the display. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
