BATTERY INSTALLATION

The console requires four “D” batteries. To install bat- teries, refer to assembly step 5 on page 7.

HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE

Note: If there is a piece of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove it before operating the console.

1. To turn on the power, press the On/Reset button or begin pedaling.

2.Begin exercising and monitor your progress with the two displays.

Left display—

 

This display

 

shows the

 

elapsed time

 

and the dis-

 

tance that you

Indicators

have pedaled.

The display will

 

change from

 

one number to the other every seven seconds, as shown by the indicators in the display.

Right display— This display shows your

pedaling speed and the approx- imate numbers of calories and

fat calories you have burned.

When the thumb pulse sensor is used, the display will also show your heart rate (see step 3 at the right). Every seven seconds, the display will change from one number to the next, as shown by the indi- cators in the display.

To reset the displays at any time, press the

On/Reset button.

3. Measure your heart rate, if desired.

To measure

your heart rate, stop pedaling and place your thumb on the pulse sensor as shown. The pulse sensor is

pressure activat-

 

 

ed—fully press it down.

Do not press too hard, or

the circulation in your thumb will be restricted,

 

and your pulse will not be detected.

 

Next, raise

your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator

in the right display flashes

steadily

. Hold your

thumb at this

 

 

level. After a few

 

 

seconds, two

 

 

dashes will

 

 

appear in the

 

 

display, and

 

 

then your heart

 

 

rate will be

 

 

shown. Hold

 

 

your thumb on

 

 

the pulse sensor for another 15 seconds for the most accurate reading. If the displayed heart rate appears to be too high or too low, or if your heart rate is not displayed, lift your thumb off the pulse sensor and allow the display to reset. Press down again on the pulse sensor as described above.

Make sure that you are applying the proper amount of pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the pulse sensor several times until you become familiar with it.

Remember to sit still while measuring your heart rate.

4.To turn off the power, simply wait for a few minutes.

The console has an “auto-off” feature. If the pedals are not moved and the On/Reset button is not pressed for a few minutes, the power will turn off automatically to conserve the batteries.
