HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the con-
sole to turn on the console.
A moment after you turn on the console, the dis-
play will light.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the two heart rate programs,
press the Heart Rate Control Programs button
repeatedly until the words HEART RATE 1 or
HEART RATE 2 appear in the display. The pro-
gram time and a profile of the target heart rate set-
tings for the program will also appear in the dis-
play.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
When you select a
heart rate program,
the maximum tar-
get heart rate set-
ting will flash in the
center of the dis-
play. If desired,
use the increase
and decrease buttons to change the maximum tar-
get heart rate setting, and then press the Enter
button. Note: If you change the maximum target
heart rate setting, the intensity level of the entire
program will change.
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the
optional chest pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must hold the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest
pulse sensor (see page 23 for information about
the optional chest pulse sensor). Note: If you hold
the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the chest
pulse sensor at the same time, the console will not
display your heart rate accurately.
If you use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not nec-
essary to hold the handgrip pulse sensor continu-
ously during a heart rate program; however, you
should hold the handgrip pulse sensor frequently
for the program to operate properly. Each time
you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, keep your
hands on the metal contacts for at least 30
seconds.
5. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each heart rate program is divided into either 20 or
30 one-minute segments. One target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for each segment. Note: The
same target heart rate setting may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment
will be indicated by the height of the flashing seg-
ment of the profile in the display. When the first
segment of the program ends, the next segment of
the profile will begin to flash. The target heart rate
setting for the next segment will then be indicated
by the height of the flashing segment of the profile.
