In addition to the matrix, the display will show your pedaling speed, the number of Calories you have burned, the elapsed time, and the distance you have pedaled. The display will also show your heart rate when the pulse sensor is used (see step 5). Note: If your heart rate is not shown, press the reset button to reset the pulse sensor.

most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for about 15 seconds. WARNING:

The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's move- ment, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.

Note: If your heart rate is not shown, press the reset button to reset the pulse sensor. In addi- tion, make sure that your hands are positioned as described above. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or squeeze the metal contacts too tightly.

As you exercise, follow your progress with the matrix on the left side of the display (refer to the drawing above). During the first minute of the pro- gram, the first column of the matrix will flash; dur- ing the second minute, the second column will flash; during the third minute, the third column will flash. In addition, the resistance of the pedals will automatically change according to the height of the flashing column—the higher the column is, the greater the resistance will be. After ten min- utes, the program will be completed.

Note: If the program is too easy or too difficult, press the resistance + or – button to adjust the intensity level of the program. As you press the resistance + or – button, the height of all of the columns in the matrix will increase or decrease.

In addition to the matrix, the display will show your pedaling speed, the number of Calories you have burned, the elapsed time, and the distance you have pedaled. The display will also show your heart rate when you use the pulse sensor (see step 4).
