HOW TO USE THE WATTS WORKOUT PROGRAM
The WATTS WORKOUT program will automatically
change the resistance of the pedals to keep your
power output near a target level during your workout.
Plug in the power cord or begin pedalling to
1
activate the console.
See step 1 on page 10.
Select the WATTS WORKOUT program.

To select the WATTS WORKOUT program, re-
peatedly press the PROGRAM SELECT button
until the words "WATTS WORKOUT" appear in
the main display.
A few seconds after the program is selected, the
name of the program and the total program time
will begin to scroll across the main display. Note:
The program can be set to last for 20, 30, 40, 50,
or 60 minutes. See step 8 on page 20.
Press the START button and enter a target
3
watts setting for the program.
When the button is pressed, the words "ENTER
TARGET WATTS" and the current target watts
setting will scroll across the main display. If you
wish to change the target watts setting for the pro-
gram, press the + and – buttons beside the
ENTER AGE/WT. button. The target watts setting
can be changed in increments of 10 watts.
Press the START button and begin pedalling
4
to start the program.
When the button is pressed, the console will begin
displaying exercise data.
The program is di-
vided into 30-sec-
ond segments.
The same target
watts level is pro-
grammed for all
segments. During
the program, the
Flashing Column
matrix will show your progress. The flashing col-
umn represents the current segment of the pro-
gram. At the end of each segment, a series of
tones will sound, the time will flash in the main
display, and the flashing column of the matrix will
move one position to the right.
During the program, the console will compare
your power output to the target watts setting. If
your power output is too far above or below the
target watts setting, the resistance of the pedals
will automatically change to bring your power out-
put closer to the target watts setting. Note:
Pressing the RESISTANCE + and – buttons dur-
ing the program will change the target watts set-
ting for the program (see step 3).
After you have completed the first three minutes
of the program, the flashing column will no longer
move to the right at the end of each segment.
Instead, all columns of indicators will move one
position to the left at the end of each segment.
When only 12 minutes remain in the program, the
flashing column will again move one position to
the right at the end of each segment, until the pro-
gram is completed.
Follow your progress with the main display.
