HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press the Increase button or begin pedaling. The pace guide will light for a moment; the console will then be ready for use.
Select the manual mode.
When you turn on the console, the manual mode will be selected. If you have selected a program, reselect the manual mode by pressing the Program button repeatedly until no program indi- cators (see the drawing on page 12) appear along the left side of the display.
Change the resistance of the pedals as desired.
As you pedal, change the resis- tance of the pedals by pressing the Increase and Decrease buttons. There are ten resis-
tance levels. Note: After you press the buttons, it will take a moment for the pedals to reach the selected resistance level.
Follow your progress with the display.
The upper half of the display will show the elapsed time, the distance (in total revolutions) you have pedaled, and the resistance
level of the pedals. The display will change modes every few seconds. Note: When Program 1, 3, or 4 is selected, the display will show the time remain- ing in the program instead of the elapsed time. The lower half of the
display will show your pedaling speed, in revolu- tions per minute (RPM), and the approximate num-
ber of calories you have burned. The display will change modes every few seconds. The lower half of the display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 5).
Measure your heart rate if desired. |

If there are sheets | Contacts |
of clear plastic on | |
the metal contacts |
|
on the handgrip |
|
pulse sensor, |
|
remove the plastic. |
|
Next, hold the |
|
handgrip pulse sen- |
|
sor with your palms resting on the contacts. When | |
your pulse is detected, the | |
in the lower half of the display will flash each time | |
your heart beats, and then your heart rate will | |
appear in the display. |
|
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the handgrip pulse sensor for about 30 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the hand- grip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate for about 30 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other modes. If your heart rate does not appear, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Avoid moving your hands excessively or squeezing the metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, periodically clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi- cals to clean the contacts.
Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Fan button. To turn on the fan at high speed, press the Fan button a second time. To turn off the fan, press the Fan button a third time. Note: If the fan is turned on but the pedals do not move for thirty seconds, the fan will automatically turn off to con- serve the batteries.
Rotate the thumb tab on the right side
of the fan to adjust
the angle of the fan.
When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for a few seconds, the time will begin to flash in the display and the con- sole will pause. If the pedals do not move for a few minutes, the console will turn off and the dis- play will be reset.
