Pro-Form 455 Ekg Bike User Manual page 13

As you exercise,
you will be
prompted to keep
your pedaling
pace near the tar-
get pace setting
for the current
segment. When
an upward arrow appears in the display, increase
your pace. When a downward arrow appears in
the display, decrease your pace. When no arrow
appears in the display, maintain your current pace.
Important: The target pace settings are intend-
ed only to provide motivation. Your actual pace
may be slower than the target pace settings.
Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort-
able for you.
If the resistance setting for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the decrease and increase but-
tons. Important: When the current segment of
the program ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance setting for the next seg-
ment.
The program will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To stop the program at any time,
stop pedaling. A tone will sound and the time will
begin to flash in the display. To restart the program,
simply resume pedaling.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 11.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 12.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 12.
HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling 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 Programs button once or
twice until the desired program is selected.
3. Enter a target heart rate setting.
When you select a
heart rate program,
the maximum tar-
get heart rate set-
ting will appear in
the center of the
display. Press the
increase and
decrease buttons to change the maximum heart
rate setting if desired. Note: If you change the
maximum target heart rate setting, the intensity
level of the entire program will change.
The program time and a profile of the target heart
rate settings for the program will then appear in
the display.
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 15 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.
