HOW TO USE A RESISTANCE & RPM 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 resistance & rpm programs.

Press the Programs

button repeatedly until

“P 3,” “P 4,” “P 5,”

“P 6,” “P 7,” “P 8,”

“P 9,” or “P10”

appears in the right

side of the display.

When a resistance & rpm program is selected, a

profile of the resistance settings of the program

will scroll across the center of the display. The left

side of the display will show how long the pro-

gram will last.

Begin pedaling to start the program.

Each program is divided into several one-minute

segments. One resistance setting and one pace

setting are programmed for each segment. Note:

The same resistance setting and/or pace setting

may be programmed for two or more consecutive

segments.

The resistance setting

for the first segment

will be shown in the

flashing Current

Segment column in

the center of the dis-

play. (Note: The pace

settings are not shown in the display.) The resis-

tance settings for the next four segments will be

shown in the columns to the right.

As you exercise, the Pace Coach will help you to

keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for

the current segment. When one of the “Too Slow”

arrows lights, increase your pace. When the one

of the “Too Fast” arrows lights, decrease your

pace. When the center indicator lights, maintain

your current pace.

Important: The pace settings are intended

only to provide motivation. Your actual pace

may be slower than the pace settings. Make

sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable

for you.

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 resistance set-

tings will move one column to the left. The resis-

tance setting for the second segment will then be

shown in the flashing Current Segment column,

and the resistance of the pedals will change to the

resistance setting for the second segment. Note: If

all of the indicators in the Current Segment column

are lit after the resistance settings have moved to

the left,

the resistance settings may move down-

ward so only the highest indicators appear in the

matrix.

The program will continue until the resistance set-

ting for the last segment is shown in the Current

Segment column and the last segment ends.

Note: During the program, you can override the

resistance setting for the current segment, if

desired, by pressing the increase or decrease but-

ton. However, when the next segment begins, the

resistance will change if a different resistance set-

ting is programmed for the next segment.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone

will sound and the program will pause. To restart

the program, simply resume pedaling.

Monitor your progress with the display.

See step 6 on page 14.

When you are finished exercising, the console

will automatically turn off.
