HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM
1. Begin pedaling to turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11.
2. Select a smart program.
To select one of the
eight smart pro-
grams, press the
Personal Trainer
Programs button
repeatedly until the
name of the
desired program
appears in the display. The program time and a
profile of the resistance levels for the program will
also appear in the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
Each program is divided into 20 or 30 one-minute
segments. One resistance level and one target
pace setting are programmed for each segment.
Note: The same resistance level and/or target pace
setting may be programmed for two or more con-
secutive segments.
The program profile will show your progress (see
the drawing above). The flashing segment of the
profile represents the current segment of the pro-
gram. The height of the flashing segment indicates
the resistance level for the current segment.
When the first segment of the program ends, the
resistance level and the target pace for the second
segment will appear in the center of the display for
a few seconds to alert you. The next segment of
the profile will begin to flash, and the pedals will
automatically adjust to the resistance level for the
next segment.

As you exercise,
you will be prompt-
ed to keep your
pedaling pace near
the target pace set-
ting for the current
segment. When an
upward arrow appears in the display, increase
your pace. When a downward arrow appears,
decrease your pace. When no arrow appears,
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 level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons.
Important: When the current segment of the
program ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level 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. To reset the program,
press the Start/Reset button.
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. Turn on the fan if desired.
See step 6 on page 12.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
