HOW TO USE A PULSE CONTROL PROGRAM
Press the Resistance decrease button or
begin pedaling to turn on the console.
A moment after the console is turned on, the dis-
play will light.
Select one of the pulse control programs.
Press the Programs
button repeatedly
until “P 1” or “P 2”
appears in the right
side of the display.
If pulse control pro-
gram 1 is selected,
a profile of the target
heart rate settings of
the program will
scroll across the
center of the display.
If pulse control pro-
gram 2 is selected,
a pulse symbol will
appear in the center
of the display. Each
time a heartbeat is
detected while you
are using the handgrip pulse sensor, the pulse
symbol will reappear.
Enter a target heart rate setting.
If pulse control pro-
gram 1 is selected,
the maximum target
heart rate setting of
the program will
flash in the display. If
desired, press the
Resistance increase and decrease buttons to
change the maximum target heart rate setting
(see EXERCISE INTENSITY on page 19). If you
change the maximum target heart rate setting,
the intensity level of the entire program will
change.
If pulse control program 2 is selected, the tar-
get heart rate setting for the program will flash in
the display. If desired, press the Resistance
increase and decrease buttons to change the tar-
get heart rate setting (see EXERCISE INTENSI-
TY on page 19).
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrip pulse
sensor continuously during a pulse control pro-
gram; however, you should hold the handgrip
pulse sensor frequently for the program to oper-
ate properly. Each time you hold the handgrip
pulse sensor, keep your hands on the metal
contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Begin pedaling to start the program.
Pulse control program 1 is divided into 30 one-
minute segments. One target heart rate setting is
programmed for each segment. Note: The same
target heart rate setting may be programmed for
two or more consecutive segments.
The target heart rate
setting for the first
segment will be
shown in the flashing
Current Segment col-
umn in the center of
the display. The target
heart rate settings for the next four segments will
be shown in the columns to the right.
When only three seconds remain in the first seg-
ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a
series of tones will sound, and all target heart
rate settings will move one column to the left.
The target heart rate setting for the second seg-
ment will then be shown in the flashing Current
Segment column.
Pulse control program 2 is divided into 40 one-
minute segments. The same target heart rate set-
ting is programmed for all segments. Note: For a
shorter workout, stop exercising or select a differ-
ent program before the program ends.
