sen-

 

sor, remove the plas-

 

tic. To measure

your

rate, hold

the

 

handgrip

pulse

sensor

 

with your

palms

resting

 

against the metal con-

tacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping the contacts tightly.

When your pulse is detected, a heart- shaped symbol will flash in the left display. Each time your heart beats, one or two

dashes will appear, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate read-

ing, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor,

the display will show your heart rate for up to 30 seconds.

If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts tightly. For optimal performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never

use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts.

6.Turn on the fan if desired.

The fan has high and low speed settings. Press the Fan button repeatedly to select a fan speed or to turn off the fan. Note: If the pedals do not move for about thirty seconds, the fan will turn off auto- matically.

. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.

If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a series of tones will sound, the console will pause, and the time will flash in the display.

If the pedals do not move for about five minutes,

the console will turn off and the display will be reset.

RPM

Profile

When you select a cross training workout, the name of the workout and the workout time will

appear in the displays and a profile of the resis- tance levels of the workout will scroll across the

center display.

3.Begin pedaling to start the workout.

Each workout is divided into 25 or 45 one-minute segments. One resistance level and one target rpm (revolutions per minute) setting are pro- grammed for most segments. (Note: The same resistance level and/or target rpm setting may be programmed for consecutive segments.) During other segments, the console will prompt you to per- form strength exercises.

During the workout, the workout profile will show your progress (see the drawing above). The flash- ing segment of the profile represents the current segment of the workout. The height of the flashing segment indicates the resistance level for the cur- rent segment. At the end of each segment of the workout, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ- ent resistance level is programmed for the next segment, the resistance level will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis- tance of the pedals will then change.
