Console Features
The Console provides information about your workout on the display screen.

LCD Display Data
The console display shows each workout value.

RPM
The RPM display fi eld shows the machine revolutions per minute (RPM). The maximum display is 100.

Time
The TIME display fi eld shows the time count of the workout. The maximum display is 99:59. If the time count is more, the display starts again at 0:00.
During the initial power-up, this display will show altitude ( "Alt" ). The altitude where the machine will be in operation must be entered.

Speed
The SPEED display fi eld shows the machine speed in kilometers per hour ( "KM" ) or miles per hour ( "M" ), to one decimal place—for example, 3.4 or 10.5. The maximum display is 99.9.

Dist.
The DISTANCE display fi eld shows the distance count (miles or km) in the workout, to two decimal places—for example, 2.07. The maximum display is 99.99. If the distance exceeds 99.99, the display starts again at 0.00.
Note: To change the measurement units to English Imperial or metric, refer to the "Console Service Mode" section in this manual.
The Odometer ( "Odo." ) shows the sum of all workout distances. It is dis- played when a workout is paused, or as an option in the "Console Service Mode".
During the initial power-up, this display will show the Altitude value until accepted.

Watts
The WATTS display field shows the power that you are producing at the current resistance level (1 horsepower = 746 watts).

Calories
The CALORIES display field shows the estimated calories that you have burned during the exercise. The maximum display is 9999. If the calorie count is more, the display fl ashes 9999.

Pulse
The PULSE display shows the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from a telemetric heart rate sensor. The icon will fl ash when it has a signal from a telemetric heart rate strap. This display value will be blank if a heart rate signal is not detected.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the machine's computer for reference purposes only.

Keypad Functions
Decrease (‚) button- Decreases a value (time or altitude) or moves through options
START/STOP button- Starts a Program workout, confirms a selection, and ends a paused workout if held down for 3 seconds.
Increase () button- Increases a value (time or altitude) or moves through options

Remote Heart Rate Monitor
Monitoring your Heart Rate is one of the best procedures to control the intensity of your exercise. The Console can read telemetry HR signals from a Heart Rate Chest Strap Transmitter that operates in the 4.5kHz - 5.5kHz range.
Note: The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap from Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR^™ compatible model. (Coded POLAR^™ heart rate straps such as POLAR^™ OwnCode^™ chest straps will not work with this equipment.)
If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, consult your doctor before using a wireless chest strap or other telemetric heart rate monitor.

Heart Rate Calculations
Your maximum heart rate usually decreases from 220 Beats Per Minute (BPM) in childhood to approximately 160 BPM by age 60. This fall in heart rate is usually linear, decreasing by approximately one BPM for each year. There is no indication that training influences the decrease in maximum heart rate. Individuals of the same age could have different maximum heart rates. It is more accurate to find this value by completing a stress test than by using an age related formula.
Your at-rest heart rate is influenced by endurance training. The typical adult has an at-rest heart rate of approximately 72 BPM, where as highly trained runners may have readings of 40 BPM or lower.
The Heart Rate table is an estimate of what Heart Rate Zone (HRZ) is effective to burn fat and improve your cardiovascular system. Physical conditions vary, therefore your individual HRZ could be several beats higher or lower than what is shown.
The most efficient procedure to burn fat during exercise is to start at a slow pace and gradually increase your intensity until your heart rate reaches between 60 – 85% of your maximum heart rate. Continue at that pace, keeping your heart rate in that target zone for over 20 minutes. The longer you maintain your target heart rate, the more fat your body will burn.
The graph is a brief guideline, describing the generally suggested target heart rates based on age. As noted above, your optimal target rate may be higher or lower. Consult your physician for your individual target heart rate zone.
Note: As with all exercises and fitness regimens, always use your best judgment when you increase your exercise time or intensity.

FAT-BURNING TARGET HEART RATE

OPERATIONS

What to Wear
Wear rubber-soled athletic shoes. You will need the appropriate clothes for exercise that allow you to move freely.

How Often Should You Exercise
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the machine's computer for reference purposes only. The heart rate displayed is an approximation and should be used for reference purposes only.

• 3 times a week for 20 minutes each day.
• Schedule workouts in advance and try to follow the schedule.

Seat Adjustment
Correct seat placement encourages exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury.

1. With a Pedal in the forward position, place the heel of your foot to the lowest part of it. Your leg should be bent slightly at the knee.
2. If your leg is too straight or your foot cannot touch the Pedal, you need to move the seat downward. If your leg is bent too much, you need to move the seat upward.
   Step off the machine before you adjust the seat.
3. Loosen and pull the Seat Post Adjustment Knob on the Seat Post. Adjust the seat to the desired height.
   Do not lift the Seat post above the "STOP" mark on the Seat Post.
4. Release the Seat Post Adjustment Knob to engage the locking pin. Be sure that the pin is fully engaged and fully tighten the adjustment knob.

Foot Position / Pedal Strap Adjustment
Foot pedals with straps provide secure footing to the exercise bike.

1. Rotate the Pedals until one can be reached.
   Be aware that the Pedals, Handlebars and Resistance Fan are connected and when any of these parts move the others do as well.
2. Put the ball of each foot on the Pedals.
3. Fasten the strap over the shoe.
4. Repeat for the other foot.
   Be sure toes and knees point directly forward to ensure maximum Pedal efficiency. Pedal straps can be left in position for subsequent workouts.

Using the Machine
Be aware that the Pedals, Handlebars and Resistance Fan are connected and when any of these parts move the others do as well.
Carefully mount the machine using the Foot Step Pad if necessary. Adjust the Seat and Pedals before starting a workout.
Lower Body Workout: Slowly pedal with your arms relaxed at your sides or with your hands resting on the Hand Grips as the Handlebars move.
Full Body Workout: Grasp the Hand Grips with your palms down. Push and pull the Handlebars as you pedal, keeping your elbows low and next to your body.
Upper Body Workout: Grasp the Hand Grips firmly with palms down and place your feet on the Foot Pegs. Lean slightly forward at the hips with your back straight and shoulders down. Now push and pull the Handlebars
Note: You may need to safely push a Pedal to assist with starting the workout.
To increase the air resistance and workload, increase your level of activity. To exercise all the muscle groups in your arms, alter your grasp to palms up for part of the workout.
When done with your workout, reduce the Resistance Fan speed until the machine fully stops.
This bike cannot stop the Pedals independently of the Resistance Fan. Reduce the pace to slow the Resistance Fan and Pedals to a stop. Do not dismount the bike until the Pedals have come to a complete stop.
