HOW TO USE A PRESET PROGRAM
Each preset program will automatically change the
resistance of the pedals and prompt you to increase or
decrease your pace as it guides you through an effec-
tive workout.
Follow the steps below to use a preset program.
1
Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
2
Select a preset program.
To select a preset
program, press
the Program
(PGM) button
repeatedly until
"P-3," "P-4," "P-5,"
"P-6," "P-7," "P-8," "P-9," or "P-10" appears in the
upper section of the display.
3
Begin pedalling to start the program.
To start the program, simply begin pedalling. Each
preset program consists of 20 or 30 one-minute
periods. One resistance level and one target pace
are programmed for each period. Note: The same
resistance level and/or target pace may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutive periods.
At the end of each period of the program, the time
will flash in the centre display and a series of
tones will sound. In addition, the resistance of the
pedals will automatically change if a different
resistance level is programmed for the next peri-
od. Note: If the resistance level is too high or too
low, you can change it by pressing the Resistance
+ and – buttons. However, when the current peri-
od ends, the resistance of the pedals will auto-
matically change if a different resistance level is
programmed for the next period.
As you exercise,
the pace display
will help you to
keep your ped-
alling pace near
the target pace
setting for the cur-
rent period. When
one of the "too slow" indicators lights, increase
your pace. When one of the "too fast" indicators
lights, decrease your pace. When the centre indi-
cator lights, 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 set-
tings. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is
comfortable for you.
During the program, the centre of the display will
show the time remaining in the program. If you
stop pedalling for a few seconds, the display will
pause and the time will flash. If you continue ped-
alling after the program is completed, the display
will continue to show exercise feedback.
