HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM

1	Turn on the console.
	Refer to step 1 on page 12.
	Select one of the eight Smart programs.
2
	Each time the
	console is turned
	on, the manual
	mode will be
	selected. To
	select a Smart
	program, press
	the Program but-
	ton repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
	or 8 appears in the upper right corner of the dis-
	play.
	The profiles on the right side of the console show
	how the resistance of the crosstrainer and the tar-
	get pace will change during the Smart programs.
	For example, profile number 6 shows that during
	Smart program 6, the resistance will gradually
	increase during the first half of the program, and
	then gradually decrease during the last half; the
	target pace will alternately increase and decrease
	throughout the program.
	Start the program.
3
	To start the program, simply begin exercising.
	Each Smart program consists of either twenty or
	thirty, one-minute periods. One resistance setting
	and one pace setting are programmed for each
	period. (The same resistance setting and/or pace
	setting may be programmed for consecutive peri-
	ods.)

During the program, the resistance of the crosstrainer will automatically change as shown by the applicable profile on the console. If the cur- rent resistance level is too high or too low, you

	can change the resistance level by pressing the +
	and – buttons. However, when the current period
	of the program is completed, the resistance level
	will automatically	change if a different resistance
	setting is programmed for the next period.
	The target pace
	settings for the
	program will be
	shown by the
	right pace indica-
			Increase Arrow
	tor in the display.
	(The left indicator
	will show your
	actual exercise pace.) As the right indicator
	changes in height during the program, simply
	adjust your pace so that both indicators are at the
	same height. If your pace is slower than the cur-
	rent target pace, the increase arrow will appear in
	the display to prompt you to increase your pace; if
	your pace is faster than the target pace, the
	decrease arrow will appear.			Important: The tar-
	get pace settings for the program are intended
	only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may
	be slower than the target pace settings, espe-
	cially during the first few months of your exer-
	cise program. Make sure to exercise at a pace
	that is comfortable for you.
	During the program, the display will show the time
	remaining in the program. If you continue exercis-
	ing after the program is completed, the display
	will continue to show your exercise feedback.
	Follow your progress with the feedback modes.
4
	Refer to step 4 on page 12.
	Measure your heart rate if desired.
5
	See step 5 on page 12.
	When you are finished exercising, the console
6
	will automatically turn off.

Refer to step 6 on page 12.
