HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate during your workout.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
1 Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11.
2 Select one of the two heart rate programs.
To select one of the two heart rate pro-
hold the handgrips frequently for the program to operate properly. Each time you hold the hand- grips, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the handgrips, the letters PLS will flash in the Heart Rate display instead of your heart rate.
5 Press the Start button to start the program.
Each heart rate 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.
grams, press the Programs button repeatedly until the Heart Rate indicator lights.
As each heart rate program is selected, a profile of the target heart rate settings of the selected program will scroll across the matrix. The Time display will show how long the program will last.
3 Enter a maximum target heart rate setting.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment will be shown in the flashing Current Segment column of the matrix. The tar- get heart rate set- tings for the next twelve segments will be shown in the columns to the right.

When a heart rate
program is selected, the current maximum target heart rate set- ting will be shown in the Heart Rate dis-
play. If desired, press
the increase and decrease buttons to change the maximum target heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23). If you change the maximum target heart rate setting, the profile will change to show the new target heart rate settings.
4 Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the handgrip pulse sensor (see step 6 on page 12). It is not necessary to hold the handgrips continu- ously during the program. However, you should
When only three seconds remain in the first seg- ment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all target heart rate settings will move one column to the left. The target heart rate setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column.
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 tar- get heart rate setting, the resistance of the ped- als will automatically increase or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the target heart rate setting.
