The console has three backlight options. The "On"
option keeps the backlight on while the console is
on. To conserve the batteries, the "Auto" option
keeps the backlight on only while you are pedal-
ing. The "Off" option turns the backlight off. To
select a backlight option, first press and hold down
the Certified Personal Trainer Programs button for
several seconds. Next, press the increase button
to select the desired backlight option. Then, press
the Certified Personal Trainer Programs button to
save your selection.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
5
You can measure you heart rate using either the
handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse
sensor (see page 23 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 dis-
play your heart rate accurately.
If there are
sheets of clear
plastic on the
metal contacts
on the handgrip
pulse sensor,
remove the plas-
tic. To measure
your heart rate,
hold the handgrip
pulse sensor with
your palms rest-
ing against the metal contacts. Avoid moving
your hands or gripping the contacts too
tightly.

When your pulse is detected, one, two, or three
dashes will appear in the display, and then your
heart rate will appear. For the most accurate heart
rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 sec-
onds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate
for up to 30 seconds.
If the display does not show your heart rate, make
sure that your hands are positioned as described.
Be careful not to move your hands excessively or
squeeze the metal contacts too tightly. For opti-
mal performance, clean the metal contacts using
a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or
chemicals to clean the contacts.
Turn on the fan if desired.
To turn on the fan at low speed, press the Fan
button once. To turn on the fan at high speed,
press the Fan button a second time. To turn off
the fan, press the Fan button a third time.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a
tone will sound and the console will pause. If the
pedals do not move for several minutes and the
buttons are not pressed, the console will turn off
and the display will be reset.
