4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during a pulse control 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.
Pulse control program 3 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn in the center of
the display. The target
heart rate settings for the next four segments will
be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and all target heart rate
settings will move one column to the left. The tar-
get heart rate setting for the second segment will
then be shown in the flashing Current Segment
column.
Pulse control program 4 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a
shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ-
ent program before the program ends.
During both pulse control programs, the con-
sole 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 setting, the
resistance of the pedals will automatically increase
or decrease to bring your heart rate closer to the
target heart rate setting.

After the first minute of the program, the Pace
Coach will prompt you to maintain a consistent
pedaling pace. When one of the "Too Slow" arrows
lights, increase your pace. When the one of the
"Too Fast" arrows lights, decrease your pace.
When the center indicator lights, maintain your
current pace.
IMPORTANT: The target heart rate settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your actu-
al heart rate may be slower than the target
heart rate settings. Make sure to exercise at a
pace that is comfortable for you.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current segment,
if desired, by pressing the increase and decrease
buttons. However, when the console compares
your heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the
resistance of the pedals may automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate clos-
er to the target heart rate setting.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone
will sound and the program will pause. To restart
the program, simply resume pedaling.
