FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The easy-to-use console features six modes that pro-
vide instant exercise feedback during your workouts.
The console modes are described below.
Scan (SCAN)—This mode displays the time, speed,
distance, calorie, and pulse modes, for a few seconds
each, in succession.
Time (TIME)—This mode displays the elapsed time.
Distance (DIST)—This mode displays the distance (in
kilometers) you have pedaled during your workout.
Speed (SPEED)—This mode displays your pedaling
speed, in kilometers per hour.
Calorie (CAL)—This mode displays the approximate
number of calories you have burned during your work-
out.
Pulse (PULSE)—This mode displays your heart rate
when you hold the handgrip pulse sensors.
HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES
The console requires two AAA batteries (not included);
alkaline batteries are recommended. Remove the top
cover of the console, insert the batteries into the bat-
tery compartment, and reattach the top cover of the
console. Make sure that the batteries are oriented
as shown by the diagrams inside the battery com-
partment. Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on
the face of the console, remove the plastic.
HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE
1. Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press the button on the
console or simply begin pedaling.
2. Select a mode.
Scan mode—To select the scan mode, repeatedly
press the button until an arrow appears next to the
word SCAN.
Time, speed, distance, or calorie mode—To
select one of these modes for continuous display,
repeatedly press the button until an arrow appears
next to the desired selection. Make sure that
there is no arrow next to the word SCAN.
Note: To reset the modes, press and hold the but-
ton until zeroes appear in the display.
3. Begin pedaling and follow your progress with
the display.
As you exercise, the console will display the
mode(s) that you select.
4. Measure your heart rate, if desired.
If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal
contacts of the handgrip pulse sensor, remove
the plastic. Place your hands on the handgrip
pulse sensor, with your palms on the contacts.
Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is
detected, your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 30 seconds.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that
your hands are positioned as described. Avoid
moving your hands excessively or squeezing the
metal contacts tightly. For optimal performance,
periodically clean the metal contacts using a soft
cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi-
cals to clean the contacts.
5. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
The console has an "auto-off" feature. If the pedals
do not move and the console button is not pressed
for a few minutes, the power will turn off automati-
cally to save the batteries.
