actual exercising pace. The target pace will change periodically during the program; as the target pace changes, simply adjust your exercising pace to keep both columns at the same height. Important: The tar- get 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. For

example, during

program 2 (the aerobic program), the target pace will gradually increase during the first half of the program, and then 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 BATTERY REPLACEMENT on page 12.)

1Turn on the power.

To turn on the power, press the on/reset

button or sim- ply begin exer-

cising. 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.

only one bar appears in the right column. Each

 

time the target pace changes during the pro-

 

gram, adjust your exercising pace to keep both

 

columns at the same height.
