HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the dis-
play will light.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select a heart rate program, press the Heart
Rate Programs button once or twice until the
desired program is selected.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
When you select a
heart rate program,
the maximum tar-
get heart rate
setting will appear
in the center of the
display. Press the
increase and
decrease buttons to change the maximum heart
rate setting if desired. Note: If you change the
maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity
level of the entire program will change.
The program time and a profile of the target heart
rate settings for the program will then appear in
the display.

4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during a heart rate program;
however, you should hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor frequently for the program to operate properly.
Each time you hold the handgrip pulse sensor,
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at
least 30 seconds.
5. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program is divided into 20 or 30
one-minute segments. One target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for each segment. Note: The
same target heart rate setting may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments.
During the program, the profile will show your
progress. The flashing segment of the profile rep-
resents the current segment of the workout. The
height of the flashing segment indicates the target
heart rate setting for the current segment. At the
end of each segment of the workout, a series of
tones will sound and the next segment of the pro-
file will begin to flash.
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 target
heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will auto-
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate.
