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
screen will light.
2. Select a heart rate program.
To select one of the two heart rate programs,
press the Heart Rate Control button once or twice
until the desired program appears on the screen.
If you select the first heart rate program, a
track and the target heart rate setting (bpm) for the
program will appear on the screen.
If you select the second heart rate program, the
maximum target heart rate setting (bpm) and a
diagram of the target heart rate settings for the
program will appear on the screen. The arrow
below the diagram will indicate your progress.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
If you select the first heart rate program, the
target heart rate setting (bpm) for the program will
appear on the screen. Press the increase and
decrease buttons above the Heart Rate Control
button to change the target heart rate setting, if
desired. Note: The same target heart rate setting
will be programmed for the entire program. See
EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 23 for heart rate
guidelines.
If you select the second heart rate program, the
maximum target heart rate setting of the program
will appear on the screen. Press the increase and
decrease buttons above the Heart Rate Control
button to change the maximum target heart rate
setting, if desired. Note: If you change the maxi-
mum target heart rate setting, the intensity level of
the entire program will change. See EXERCISE
INTENSITY on page 23 for heart rate guide-
lines.
4. Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse sen-
sor continuously during a heart rate program; how-
ever, 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. Press the Start button or begin pedaling to
start the program.
First heart rate control program—The same tar-
get heart rate setting is programmed for all seg-
ments of this program.
Second heart rate program—This program is
divided into 30 one-minute segments. One target
heart rate setting is programmed for each seg-
ment. Note: The same target heart rate setting
may be programmed for consecutive segments.
The target heart rate setting for the first segment
will be indicated by the height of the program dia-
gram. When the first segment ends, the arrow
below the diagram will move one position to the
right.
The program will continue in this way until the
arrow reaches the right end of the program dia-
gram. To stop the program at any time, stop pedal-
ing. A tone will sound and the time will flash in the
display to indicate that the program is paused. To
restart the program, simply resume pedaling.
