HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
1
See step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the heart rate programs.
2
To select a heart
rate program,
press the Program
Select button
repeatedly until
"Hr1" or "Hr2"
appears in the
lower display.
During heart rate
programs, the
matrix will show a
graphic that repre-
sents your heart
rate. Each time a
heartbeat is detect-
ed, an additional peak will appear.
Enter your age.
3
After a heart rate
program is select-
ed, the word
"AGE" and the cur-
rent age setting
will flash in the
lower display. You
must enter your age to use a heart rate program.
If you have already entered your age, press the
Enter (Program Start) button and go to step 4. If
you have not entered your age, press the
Age/Rate Set (Resistance) buttons repeatedly to
enter your age, and then press the Enter button.
Once you have entered your age, it will be saved
in memory.
Enter a target heart rate.
4
If heart rate pro-
gram 1 is select-
ed, the letters
"PLS" and a target
heart rate will flash
in the lower dis-
play. Press the
Age/Rate Set (Resistance) buttons repeatedly to
change the target heart rate, if desired, and then
press the Enter (Program Start) button. Note:
See EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 18 for
heart rate guidelines.
If heart rate program 2 is selected, you do not
need to enter a target heart rate. Go to step 5.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
5
It is not necessary to hold the handgrips continu-
ously during the program; however, you should
hold the handgrips frequently for the program to
operate properly. Each time you hold the hand-
grips, keep your hands on the metal contacts
for at least 30 seconds.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
6
Heart rate program 1 is divided into 20 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate is
programmed for all segments.
Heart rate program 2 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate is pro-
grammed for each segment. Note: The same tar-
get heart rate may be programmed for two or
more consecutive segments.
At the end of each segment, a series of tones will
sound. As you pedal, the console will regularly
compare your heart rate to the target heart rate. If
your heart rate is too far below or above the target
heart rate, the resistance of the pedals will auto-
matically increase or decrease to bring your heart
rate closer to the target heart rate.
