DIAGRAM OF THE CONSOLE

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE

The innovative console offers a manual mode and three pacer programs. The pacer programs are designed to help you achieve specific exercise goals by pacing your exercise. The programs include a stamina-building Interval program, an Aerobic program, and a special Fat Burn program. Whether you select the manual mode or one of the three pacer programs, the consoleÕs six monitor modes will provide continuous exercise feedback during your workouts.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR MODES

¥SpeedÑThis mode shows your pedaling pace, in miles per hour.

¥TimeÑIf you select the manual mode, this mode will count up the length of time you have exercised. If you select one of the three pacer programs, this mode will count down the time remaining in the

program. Note: If you stop exercising, the time mode will pause after a few seconds.

¥DistanceÑThis mode shows the total distance you have pedaled, up to 99.99 miles. The display will then reset to zero and continue counting.

¥Fat calories (FAT CALS)ÑThis mode shows the approximate number of fat calories you have burned. (See FAT BURNING on page 10 for an explanation of fat calories.)

¥Calories (CALS)ÑThis mode shows the approxi- mate number of calories you have burned. (This number includes both fat calories and carbohydrate calories. See FAT BURNING on page 10.)

¥ScanÑThis mode displays the calories, fat calories, speed, time, and distance modes, for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.

HOW THE PACER PROGRAMS OPERATE

When you use a
pacer program,
two columns of
bars will appear in
the display. The
left column will
show a target
pace; the right
column will show	Target Pace Actual Pace
your actual
pedaling pace. The

target pace will change periodically during the program; as the target pace changes, simply adjust your pedaling pace to keep both columns at the same height. Important: The target 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 graphs at the bottom of the console show how the target pace will change during the programs. Look at the graphs for a moment (see the drawing at the left). Each graph is divided into ten columns, with six bars in each column. The columns represent two-minute time periods, and the red bars show what the target pace will be. In the first column of the Interval graph, for example, there is one red bar. This shows that during the first two minutes of the Interval program, the target pace will be about 5 miles per hour (see the scale at the left end of the graph). In the second column there are five red bars. This shows that during the second two-minute time period, the target pace will be about 25 miles per hour. Note: Because there are ten two- minute periods, each program will last for twenty minutes.
