HOW TO USE A RESISTANCE AND PACE
PROGRAM
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
1
See step 1 on page 13.
Select one of the six resistance and pace
2
programs.
To select a resis-
tance and pace
program, press
the Program
Select button
repeatedly until
"P 1," "P 2," "P 3,"
"P 4," "P 5," or "P 6" appears in the right display.
When a resistance and pace program is selected,
the matrix will show the first seven target pace
settings of the program. The left display will show
how long the program will last.
Press the Program Start button or begin
3
pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into several one-minute
segments. One target pace setting and one resis-
tance setting are programmed for each segment.
Note: The same target pace setting and/or resis-
tance setting may be programmed for two or more
consecutive segments.
The target pace
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flash-
ing Current
Segment column
of the matrix. (The
resistance settings are not shown in the matrix.)
The target pace settings for the next seven seg-
ments will be shown in the columns to the right.
As you exercise, the Intensity Level bar will help
you to keep your pedaling pace near the target
pace setting for the current segment. The lit indi-
Current Segment
15
cators in the bar
a
represent your
actual pace. If an
indicator to the
right of the lit indi-
cators is flashing
(see drawing a),
increase your pace.
If an indicator to
the left of any lit
indicator is flashing
(see drawing b),
decrease your
pace. When no indicator is flashing, your pace
matches the target pace setting. Important: The
Intensity Level bar is intended only to provide
motivation. Make sure to exercise at a pace
that is comfortable for you.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and all target pace set-
tings will move one column to the left. The target
pace setting for the second segment will then be
shown in the flashing Current Segment column
and the resistance of the pedals will automatically
change to the resistance setting programmed for
the second segment. Note: If all of the indicators
in the Current Segment column are lit after the tar-
get pace settings have moved to the left, the tar-
get pace settings will move downward so that only
the highest indicators appear in the matrix.
Note: During the program, you can override the
resistance setting for the current segment, if
desired, by pressing the Resistance buttons.
However, when the next segment begins, the
resistance will automatically change if a different
resistance setting is programmed for the next
segment.
If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone
will sound and the program will pause. To restart
the program, simply resume pedaling. The pro-
gram will continue until the target pace setting for
the last segment is shown in the Current
Segment column of the matrix and no time
remains in the program.
