HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
1
Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button
or begin pedaling. (The On/Reset button is near
the top of the left display.)
Note: If there are sheets of clear plastic on the
face of the console, remove the plastic.
2
Select the manual mode.
When the power is
turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected. If you
have selected a
program, reselect
the manual mode
by pressing the Program button repeatedly until a
track appears in the left display.
3
Begin pedaling and change the resistance of
the pedals as desired.
As you pedal,
change the resis-
tance of the ped-
als by pressing
the Resistance
buttons. There are
ten resistance lev-
els—level 10 is the most challenging. Note: After
the buttons are pressed, it will take a moment for
the pedals to reach the selected resistance level.
4
Monitor your progress with the two displays.
The left dis-
play—A track rep-
resenting your
progress will
appear in the
upper part of the
left display. As you
exercise, the indi-
cators around the
track will light in succession until the entire track
is lit. The track will then disappear and the indica-
tors will again begin to light in succession.The
lower part of the left display will show your pedal-
ing pace, in revolutions per minute (RPM).
The right
display—The
upper part of the
right display will
show the distance
(total number of
revolutions) you
have pedaled and the approximate number of
calories you have burned. The display will change
from one number to the other every few seconds.
The upper part of the display will also show your
heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor (see step 5 on page 10).
The center of the
right display will
show the elapsed
time. Note: When a
program is selected
(except for pulse
control program 2),
the display will show the time remaining in the
program instead of the elapsed time.
The lower part of
the right display will
show the resis-
tance level of the
pedals.
To reset the displays, press the On/Reset button.
Note: The console
features three
backlight modes.
The "On" mode
keeps the backlight
on while the con-
sole is on. The
"Off" mode turns the backlight off. To conserve
the batteries, the "Auto" mode keeps the back-
light on only while you are exercising. To change
the backlight mode, first hold down the Program
button for a few seconds. Press the Resistance –
button to change the backlight mode. Then, press
the On/Reset button.
