SEAT POST ADJUSTMENT E3800HRT The E3800HRT uses a simple pull- pin adjustment knob to adjust seat height. To adjust, grab hold of the seat and pull the seat post knob out. Raise or lower the seat to its desired position and release the seat post knob.
SEAT RAIL ADJUSTMENT R2850HRT While seated on the Bike, lift the spring-loaded seat lever on the right side of the seat to make adjustments. Slide the seat forward or backward to desired location. Release the spring-loaded seat lever and gently attempt to rock forward and backward to assure it is locked in place.
CONTACT HEART RATE HAND PULSE HEART RATE SENSORS The Contact Hand Pulse Sensors are included on each product to monitor your heart rate. To use, grasp both of the sensors with a comfortable grip during your workout. The console will display your heart rate. Although your signal will be displayed immediately, it may take the system a few seconds to zero in on your actual heart rate.
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE CHEST STRAP The wireless Telemetric Chest Strap uses a pair of electrodes on the underside of the strap to send your heart rate signal to the console. Prior to wearing the chest strap, moisten the two rubber electrode pads with several drops of water.
SELF-POWERED FEATURES On the R2850HRT and E3800HRT the user’s pedaling generates the power to initialize and display information on the monitor. A minimum of 20 RPM (revolutions per minute) is required to start and maintain enough power to keep the monitor functional. If the minimum RPM is not maintained, the monitor will begin to shutdown in order to maintain the batteries charge.
The battery should last a long time; however the type of use the Bike receives will ultimately play a factor in battery life. Please contact your authorized VISION FITNESS Dealer or Service Provider if you feel the battery needs to be replaced.

PROGRAMMING OVERVIEWS MANUAL is a user-controlled program in which the user controls all resistance changes. INTERVAL is an efficient workout that strengthens your cardiovascular system by alternating work intervals and recovery intervals. FAT BURN is a program that uses slight increases in resistance to achieve a higher workload and a higher amount of calories burned.
Page 23
FIT TEST is a five minute sub-maximal test to evaluate the user’s fitness level. CUSTOM allows users or trainers the ability to preset five workout profiles by setting the workload for each segment in the program. Each program will be saved unless they are changed in setup.
USING THE CONSOLE QUICK START easiest begin exercising is to simply press the START key. Current default settings will be used to determine exercise feedback. The user will need to adjust resistance as they need. SELECTING A PROGRAM The user will need to select one of the program keys on the left side of the console keypad.
Page 25
ENTERING RESISTANCE LEVEL Use the UP arrow key and DOWN arrow key to adjust the displayed resistance level to the correct value. Press ENTER to select. NOTE: the WATTS program will require the user to set WATT LEVEL instead of RESISTANCE LEVEL. ENTER USER WEIGHT Use the UP arrow key and DOWN arrow key to adjust the user weight...
USING THE PROGRAMS The MANUAL, INTERVAL and FAT BURN PROGRAMS are all preset program profiles with 15 segments of equal time. Each segment is 1/15 of the total program time. When adjusting the programs resistance level, the change will be made to the entire programs intensity level, not just the current segment.
USING THE SPRINT 8 PROGRAM The SPRINT 8 program is an anaerobic interval program designed to build muscle, improve speed, and naturally increase the release of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) your body. Producing HGH through exercise and a proper diet has been shown as an effective way to burn fat and build lean muscle mass according to Phil Campbell, author of Ready, Set, GO! SYNERGY FITNESS .
USING THE FIT TEST PROGRAM The FIT TEST program is a five minute sub-maximal fitness test that measures cardiovascular fitness and can be used to determine the exerciser’s general fitness level. It is a great way for individuals to gauge exercise improvements over time.
Page 29
THE TEST For best results the user is required to pedal between 40 and 60 RPM. The exerciser must keep their hands on the hand pulse heart rate sensors or wear a telemetric chest strap to complete the test. NOTE: If 40-60 RPM is not maintained or the console does not sense a heart rate the test will be terminated.
USING CUSTOM PROGRAMS The CUSTOM programs allow five separate workout choices to be set and then stored for future use. Setup for the CUSTOM programs begins just as any other program. The user will push the CUSTOM program button, set age, set time, and set weight. At this point, the console will ask the user to select one of five CUSTOM programs.
ALL HRT PROGRAMS During the workout, the user will grasp the hand pulse sensors or wear the telemetric chest strap to send their heart rate signal to a receiver in the console. The console will continuously monitor the heart rate, adjusting the resistance level of the Bike to keep your heart rate within several beats of your target heart rate.
