HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

1

Turn on the console.

 

Note: The console requires four 1,5 V (D) batter-

 

ies (not included). If you have not installed batter-

 

ies, refer to step 4 on page 5 and install batteries.

 

To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button

 

or begin pedaling.

 

Select the manual mode.

Each time the console is turned on, the manual

 

mode will automatically be selected. If a personal

 

trainer program has been selected, you can

 

select the manual mode by pressing the Program

 

button repeatedly until a “P 4” appears in the dis-

 

play and then pressing the Program button once

 

more.

 

Begin exercising and adjust the resistance of

3

the exercise cycle.

As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the exercise cycle as desired by pressing the + and – buttons. There are ten resistance levels; level 10 is the most challenging. Note: After the buttons

are pressed, it will take a few

seconds for the

selected setting to be reached.

 

4 Follow your progress with the display.

When the con- sole is turned

on, the scan mode will be selected. As

you exercise, the display will

show your current speed, the elapsed time, the distance that you have pedaled, the current resis- tance level, and the approximate numbers of calories and fat calories you have burned (see

FAT BURNING on page 13). In addition, your heart rate will be shown when you use the hand- grip pulse sensor (refer to step 5 at the right). The display will change from one mode to the

next every six seconds. Note: Each time the resistance level changes, the console will show

the resistance level for six seconds. When a per-

sonal trainer program is selected, the display will

show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time.

If desired, you can select a sin-

gle mode for continuous dis- play. Press the

Display Mode button repeated-

ly until only the MPH (or Km/H), Time, Miles (or Kms), Resist., Cals., or Fat Cals. indicator appears in the display. Make sure that the Scan indicator does not appear.

5Measure your heart rate if desired.

Note: If there are thin sheets of plastic on the metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the plastic.

 

To use the hand-

 

 

grip pulse sen-

 

 

sor, place your

 

 

hands on the

 

 

metal contacts.

 

 

Your palms must

Metal

 

be on the upper

Contacts

 

contacts and

 

 

your fingers

 

 

must be touching the lower contacts. Avoid mov-

 

 

ing your hands. When your pulse is detected, the

 

 

heart-shaped indicator in the display will flash

 

 

each time your heart beats. After a moment, two

 

 

dashes (– –) will appear and then your heart rate

 

 

will be shown.

 

 

For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue

 

 

to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note:

 

When you first hold the handgrips, the display will

 

show your heart rate continuously for 15 sec-

 

 

onds. The display will then show your heart rate

 

 

along with the other feedback modes.

 

6

When you are finished exercising, the console

 

will automatically turn off after a few minutes.

 

 

If the pedals are not moved and the console but-

 

 

tons are not pressed for a few minutes,

the con-

 

sole will automatically turn off to conserve

 

 

the batteries.
