Distance—This section
of the main display will
show the distance that
you have pedalled, in
miles or kilometres.
Calories/Watts—This
section of the main dis-
play will show the ap-
proximate number of
Calories you have
burned and your power
output in watts. The display will change from one
number to the other every few seconds.
Note: If you enter your weight into the console, the
console will measure your Calorie expenditure
more accurately. To enter your weight, press the
ENTER AGE/WT. button. The words "ENTER
WEIGHT" and the current weight setting will scroll
across the main display. To enter your weight,
press the + and – buttons beside the ENTER
AGE/WT. button. When your weight is shown,
press the ENTER AGE/WT. button again.
Pulse/% Max—When
you use the handgrip
pulse sensor or a
Polar ® -compatible chest
pulse sensor (not in-
cluded), this section of
the main display will show your heart rate (see
step 6). When a pulse program is selected, the
display will show your heart rate and the corre-
sponding percentage of your estimated maximum
heart rate (see step 5 on page 17 for an explana-
tion of your estimated maximum heart rate). The
display will change from one number to the other
every few seconds.
Speed/RPM—The right
end of the main display
will show your pedalling
speed, in miles per hour
or kilometres per hour,
and your pedalling ca-
dence, in revolutions per minute. The display will
change from one number to the other every few
seconds.
To reset the main display at any time, press the
CLEAR button.
Measure your pulse if desired.

If there are thin
sheets of plastic
on the metal con-
tacts on the hand-
grip pulse sensor,
peel off the plas-
tic. To measure
your pulse, hold the
contacts; your
thumbs must be
resting on the inner
contacts, and your
fingers must be touching the outer contacts.
Avoid moving your hands.
When your pulse is detected, the PULSE indicator
above the main display will light, and then your
heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate
heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at
least 15 seconds without moving your hands.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that
your hands are positioned as described. Be care-
ful not to move your hands excessively or to
squeeze the contacts too tightly. For optimal per-
formance, clean the contacts using a soft cloth;
never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
When you are finished using the recumbent
7
bike, the console will automatically enter an
idle mode or turn off.
If the power cord is being used, the words
"PUSH ANY BUTTON TO START A NEW
WORKOUT" will begin to scroll across the main
display if the pedals are not moved for a few min-
utes. Unplug the power cord when the recumbent
bike is not in use.
If the power cord is not being used, the console
will automatically turn off if the pedals are not
moved for several seconds.
