H.R.C. (Heart Rate Control) Programs
Overview . The HRC category contains four (4) programs which allow the user to select their desired
heart rate target. The console will provide messaging and feedback while automatically increasing or
decreasing the pedaling resistance to maintain the specified heart rate. This is the definition of heart
rate control. The console will increase the resistance one level every thirty (30) seconds if the user's heart rate is below the
target. If the user's heart rate exceeds the target, the console will beep and the resistance will be reduced one level every
fifteen (15) seconds until the user's heart rate falls below the target. To protect the user, the console will beep and shut down if
the heart rate does not fall below the target after thirty (30) seconds have elapsed.
Three (3) of the programs target a percentage of the user's calculated maximum heart rate (see the section titled Calculated
Maximum Heart Rate & Target Training Zone). The calculated maximum heart rate formula considers age to arrive at an upper
threshold, or maximum. The user will be required to supply their age information for these programs to operate correctly. The
computer then determines which heart rate represents 55%, 70% and 90% of the user's calculated maximum.
The T.H.R. (Target Heart Rate) program differs from the percentage programs in that the user will set a numeric value for their
targeted heart rate. Resistance will be controlled by the unit to help maintain the user's target pulse rate.
To select one of the H.R.C. program, highlight the H.R.C. category in the main screen via the UP and DOWN arrow keys. Press
ENTER to accept.

Custom Targets. Once the program selection has been made, the Time value will begin flashing. Each time the ENTER key is
pressed, the console will scroll through the available settings; TIME
user may adjust any/all of these targets via the UP and DOWN arrow key. To accept the current setting and move to the next
value, press the ENTER key.
