DESCRiPTiON OF THE CONSOLE
The heart of the exercise bike is the programmable console. The console offers both manual and progrem modes, and features a
TURNING ON THE POWER
To turn on the power, press the power button or simply begin pedaling. The manual mode indicator will light and the LCD display will appear.
MANUAL MODE
When the power is turned on, the console will be in the manual mode. As you pedal, the pedaling resistance can be changed by moving the manual resistance control. To increase'lhe resistance, move the control upward; to decrease the resistance, move the control downward. After the control is moved, it will lake a few seconds for the exercise bike to reach the selected resistance setting.
PROGRAM MODE
When the console is in the program mode, the pedaling resistance will be controlled by programs you create. Each program will consist of eight equal time periods, called segments. The resistance will change automatically at the beginning of each segment. To create a program, a resistance setting should be programmed for.each of the eight segments by moving
the eight program resistance controls on the left side of the console. The control at far left is for the first
segment, and the control at far right is for the eighth Segment. To program resistance settings, move the controls to the desired positions. The higher the controls are moved, the higher the resistance settings will be. A sample program is shown above. This program WIUbegin with a low resistance setting. The resistance will then increase dudng the second and third segments, decrease during the fourth segment, increase again during the fifth and sixth segments, and decrease during lhe seventh and eighth segments. An
infinitevariety of settings can be programmed. |
|
Next, move the program time control to set the length |
|
of time you want the program to last. The program can |
|
be set to last for a minimum of 5 minutes, up to a |
|
maximum of 35 minutes. |
|
To start the program, press the program/manual button |
|
and begin pedaling. The program mode indicator and |
|
the first eight segments will light, and the exercise bike |
|
will automatically adjust to the setting of the first |
|
program resistance control. Alter |
|
length of time you set has elapsed, the first segment |
|
indicator will darken, and the exercise bike will auto- |
|
matically adjust to the setting of the second program |
|
resistance control. The program will continue in this |
|
manner until all eight segment indicators are dark. |
|
While the program is in progress, the pedaling resis- |
|
tance can be changed during the current segment, if |
|
desired, by moving the program resistance control for |
|
the current segment. If desired, the program can be |
|
stopped or the console can be switched to the manual | 9 |
mode by pressing the program/manual button. |
