ing pace. The target pace will change periodically dur- ing the program; as the target pace changes, simply adjust your exercising pace to keep both columns at the same height. Important: The target pace is a goal pace. Your actual pace may be slower than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Be sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.

The three graphs on

the console show how the target pace will change during the programs. During the Aerobic

program (P2), for

example, the target pace will gradually increase during the first half of the program, and gradually decrease during the last half of the program. Each program will last for twenty minutes.

STEP-BY-STEP CONSOLE OPERATION

Before the console can be operated, two batteries must be installed. (See assembly step 7 on page 7.)

Follow the steps below to operate the console.

1Turn on the power

To turn on the power, press the

on/reset button or simply begin

exercising. The entire display will appear for two

seconds; the console will then be ready for use. Note: If batteries were just installed, the power will already be on.

2 Select one of the three pacer programs or the manual mode

To select one of the pacer programs, repeatedly press the pro- gram button. The program

indicator will

show which program you

have selected. To select the

manual mode, press the program button until the program indicator disappears. The programs will be selected in the following order: program 1 (Interval), program 2 (Aerobic), program 3 (Fat Burn), manual mode.

3Begin your workout

 

If you select-

 

 

ed the manual

Actual

 

mode, go to

 

 

step 4. If you

 

 

selected one of

 

 

the pacer pro-

Target

 

grams, two

 

columns of

 

 

bars will

 

 

appear in the display. The left column will show

 

one bar, indicating a relatively slow pace. The

 

right column will show your actual exercising

 

pace. Adjust your exercising pace until only one

 

bar appears in the right column. Each time the

 

target pace changes during the program, adjust

 

your exercising pace to keep both columns at the

 

same height.

Follow your progress with the LED track and

the seven monitor modes

 

The LED trackÑ

 

 

The LED track

 

 

represents a dis-

 

 

tance of 0.25

 

 

kilometers or

 

 

miles. As you

 

 

pedal, the indica-

 

 

tors around the

 

 

track will light one at a time until you have complet-

 

ed one lap. A new lap will then begin.
