Enter a target heart rate.

If you select Program 1, the maximum target heart rate setting of the program will flash in the display. Use the Increase and Decrease buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting, if desired. Note: If you change the maximum tar- get heart rate setting, the intensity level of the entire program will change.

If you select Program 2, the target heart rate setting for the program will flash in the display. Use the Increase and Decrease buttons to change the target heart rate setting, if desired. Note: The same target heart rate setting will be programmed for the entire program.

Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.

It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during a heart rate program; however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. 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. Program 1—This program is divided into 30 one- minute segments. One target heart rate setting is programmed for each segment. Note: The same target heart rate setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.

Program 2—This program is divided into 30 one- minute segments. The same target heart rate is programmed for all segments of this program. Both heart rate programs—As you pedal, 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, the resistance of the pedals will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate.

During the program, the pace guide will also prompt 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 the program. 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.

Follow your progress with the display. See step 4 on page 12.

Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 12.
