HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
Turn on the console.
1
See step 1 on page 13.
Select one of the five preset programs.
2
Each time the
console is turned
on, the manual
mode will be
selected. To
select a preset
program, press
the Program but-
ton repeatedly until the number 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5
appears in the upper right corner of the display.
The profiles numbered 1 through 5 on the right
side of the console show the resistance and pace
settings for the preset programs.
Start the program.
3
To start the program, simply begin pedalling.
Each preset program consists of either twenty or
thirty, one-minute periods. One resistance setting
and one pace setting are programmed for each
period. (The same resistance setting and/or pace
setting may be programmed for consecutive peri-
ods.)
During the program, the resistance of the exer-
cise cycle will automatically change as shown by
the applicable profile on the console. Note: If the
current resistance level is too high or too low, you
can change the resistance level by pressing the +
or – button. However, when the current period of
the program is completed, the resistance level will
automatically change if a different resistance set-
ting is programmed for the next period.
The target pace
settings for the
program will be
shown by the
right pace indica-
tor in the display.
(The left indicator
will show your
actual pedalling pace.) As the right indicator
changes in height during the program, adjust your
pace so that both indicators are at the same
height. If your pace is slower than the current tar-
get pace, the increase arrow will appear in the
display to prompt you to increase your pace; if
your pace is faster than the target pace, the
decrease arrow will appear. Important: The pace
settings for the program are intended only to
provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slow-
er than the pace settings, especially during
the first few months of your exercise program.
Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort-
able for you.
During the program, the display will show the time
remaining in the program. When no time remains,
the program will be completed. If you continue
pedalling after the program is completed, the dis-
play will continue to show your exercise feedback.
Follow your progress with the feedback modes.
