handgrip pulse sensor.
To put on the chest pulse sensor, see page 10.
To use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not neces-
sary to hold the handgrips continuously during
the program. However, you should hold the hand-
grips frequently for the program to function prop-
erly. Each time you hold the handgrip pulse
sensor, keep your hands on the metal con-
tacts for at least 30 seconds.
Press the Start button to start the program.

The first heart rate program—This program is
divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target
heart rate setting is programmed for each seg-
ment. 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 column
of the matrix. The
target heart rate
settings for the next several 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 target heart rate setting for the second seg-
ment will then be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column.
The second heart rate program—This program
is divided into 40 one-minute segments. The
same target heart rate is programmed for all seg-
ments. Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercis-
ing or select a different program before the pro-
gram ends.

Both heart rate programs—As you pedal, the
console will regularly compare your heart rate to
the target heart rate setting for the current seg-
ment. 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.
The Target Pace guide will prompt you to
increase or decrease your pedaling pace during
the program. When one of the "Too Slow" indica-
tors lights, increase your pace; when the one of
the "Too Fast" indicators lights, decrease your
pace; when the "On Pace" indicator lights, main-
tain your current pace.
Important: The target heart rate settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual heart rate may be slower than the tar-
get 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 seg-
ment, if desired, with the 1 Step Resistance but-
tons. 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
closer 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.
Monitor your progress with the matrix, the
6
Training Zones bar, and the displays.
See step 4 on page 15.
