HOW TO USE A PULSE PROGRAM

Pulse program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate within a set range during your workout. Pulse program 2 is designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate setting that you select.

Follow the steps below to use a pulse program.

Turn on the console.

See step 1 on page 11.

Select a pulse program.

To select pulse program 1 or 2, press the Program button repeatedly

until the number 1 or 2 appears

along the left side of the display.

Enter a target heart rate.

If pulse program 1 is selected, the maximum target heart rate setting for the program will flash in the display (see the drawing above). Press the Increase and Decrease buttons to change the setting, if desired (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 16). If the maximum target heart rate setting is increased or decreased, the intensity level of the entire program will increase or decrease.

If pulse program 2 is selected, the target heart rate setting for the entire program will flash in the display. Press the Increase and Decrease buttons to change the setting, if desired (see EXERCISE

INTENSITY on page 16).

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during a pulse program; however, you must hold the handgrip pulse sen- sor frequently. Each time you hold the hand- grip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the handgrip pulse sensor, the letters PLS will appear in the display instead of your heart rate.

Begin pedaling to start the program. Pulse program 1 is 30 minutes long, and is divided into several time periods of different lengths. One target heart rate is programmed for each period. Pulse program 2 is sixty minutes long (you may choose to use only part of the pro- gram). The same target heart rate is programmed for the entire program.

During the program, the console will regularly compare your heart rate to the target heart rate setting. 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 being your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too low, you can override it by pressing the Increase and Decrease buttons. However, when the console compares your heart rate to the tar- get heart rate setting, the resistance may auto- matically change.

After the first minute of the program, the pace guide will help you to maintain a steady pedaling pace. When one of the two lower indicators lights, increase your pace; when one of the two upper indicators lights, decrease your pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain your current pace. Important: The pace guide is intended only to provide a goal. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The display will show the time remaining in pulse program 1, or the elapsed time in pulse program 2. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds, the program will pause and the time will flash in the display. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling.

Monitor your progress with the display.
