HOW TO USE THE RANDOM PROGRAM
The RANDOM program will automatically change the
resistance of the pedals during your workout. 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 HOW TO ACTIVATE THE CONSOLE on
page 10.
Select the RANDOM program.
2
To select the RANDOM program, press the RAN-
DOM button. The indicator on the button will light,
and the word "RANDOM" will appear in the main
display for a moment. Note: To select a different
RANDOM program, simply press the RANDOM
button again.

Enter a maximum resistance setting.

Next, the words "MAX RESIST" and the maximum
resistance setting of the program will appear in
the main display. If you wish to change the maxi-
mum resistance setting, press the + and – buttons
beside the ENTER button. (Note: If the maximum
resistance setting is increased, the intensity level
of the program will be increased.) When the de-
sired maximum resistance setting is shown, press
the ENTER button.
Begin exercising.

The program is divided into 30-second segments.
One resistance setting is programmed for each
segment. Note: The same resistance setting may
be programmed for two or more consecutive seg-
ments.
During the pro-
gram, the matrix
will show your
progress and the
resistance settings
of the program.
During the first 30-
second segment of
the program, the
left column of the matrix will flash. During the last
four seconds of the first segment, the column to
the right will also flash. If the resistance of the ped-
als is about to change, a series of tones will sound
and the resistance setting will flash in the main dis-
play. When the first segment ends, the column to
the right will continue to flash, and the resistance
of the pedals will automatically change if a differ-
ent resistance setting is programmed for the next
segment. Note: If all of the indicators in the flash-
ing column are lit, the indicators in all columns
may shift downward temporarily.
At the end of each segment, a tone will sound, the
next column to the right will begin to flash, and the
resistance of the pedals will automatically change
if a different resistance setting is programmed for
the next segment. When you have completed the
first 8 minutes of the program, the same column
will continue to flash, and all columns of indicators
will shift one position to the left. The columns of in-
dicators will continue to shift to the left at the end
of each segment, until the last segment of the pro-
gram is shown in the far right column of the matrix.
The next column to the right will then begin to flash
at the end of each segment, until the program is
completed.
During the program, you can change the resis-
tance of the pedals, if desired, by pressing the
RESISTANCE + and – buttons or the QUICK-
TOUCH RESISTANCE buttons. However, when
the current segment ends, the resistance will au-
tomatically change if a different resistance setting
is programmed for the next segment. Note: The
program ends with a two-minute cool-down period.
During this period, the resistance level cannot be
changed.
