HOW TO USE THE RANDOM HILLS PROGRAM
The RANDOM HILLS program will automatically
change the resistance of the pedals during your work-
out. Each time the program is selected, the resistance
settings of the program will be different.
Plug in the power cord or begin pedalling to
1
activate the console.
See step 1 on page 10.
Select the RANDOM HILLS program.

To select the RANDOM HILLS program, repeat-
edly press the PROGRAM SELECT button until
the words "RANDOM HILLS" appear in the main
display.
A few seconds after the program is selected, the
name of the program and the total program time
will begin to scroll across the main display. Note:
To select a different RANDOM HILLS program,
simply press the CLEAR button. The program can
be set to last for 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 minutes.
See step 8 on page 20.
Press the START button and begin pedalling to
3
start the program.
When the button is pressed, the console will begin
displaying exercise data.
The program is divided into 30-second segments.
One resistance level is programmed for each seg-
ment. (The same resistance level may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.)
During the program, the matrix will show your
progress and the resistance settings of the pro-
gram. The flashing column represents the current
segment of the
program. The
number of lit indi-
cators in the flash-
ing column shows
the resistance set-
ting for the current
segment. At the
end of each seg-
Flashing Column
ment, a series of tones will sound, the time will
flash in the main display, and the flashing column
of the matrix will move one position to the right.
The resistance of the pedals will then automati-
cally change if a different resistance level is pro-
grammed for the next segment. Note: The matrix
shows relative resistance levels. The lit indicators
in the columns may shift upward or downward so
that the highest indicators are always shown in the
matrix.
During the program, you can change the resis-
tance of the pedals if desired by pressing the RE-
SISTANCE + and – buttons or the QUICK RESIS-
TANCE buttons. However, when the current seg-
ment ends, the resistance will automatically
change if a different resistance level is pro-
grammed for the next segment. Note: The pro-
gram begins with a two-minute warm-up period
and ends with a two-minute cool-down period.
During these periods, the resistance level cannot
be changed.
After you have completed the first three minutes of
the program, the flashing column will no longer
move to the right at the end of each segment.
Instead, all columns of indicators will move one
position to the left at the end of each segment.
When only 12 minutes remain in the program, the
flashing column will again move one position to the
right at the end of each segment, until the program
is completed.
Follow your progress with the main display.
