exercising pace. Adjust your exercising pace until
only one bar appears in the right column. Each
time the target pace changes during the program,
adjust your exercising pace to keep both columns
at the same height.
Follow your progress with the LED track and
the seven monitor modes
The LED track—
The LED track
represents a dis-
tance of 0.25
kilometers or
miles. As you
pedal, the indica-
tors around the
track will light one at a time until you have complet-
ed one lap. A new lap will then begin.
The scan

Repeatedly
press the
mode button
until an arrow
appears under
the scan sym-
bol. When the
scan mode is
selected, the
console will
display the speed, time, distance, lap and calorie
modes, for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
The speed,
time, dis-
tance, lap,
or calorie
mode—
Repeatedly
press the
mode button
until an arrow appears below or above the
desired mode symbol. Make sure that there is not
an arrow under the scan symbol.
The pulse mode—To use the pulse mode, see
step 5.
To reset the display, press the on/reset button.
Measure your heart rate if desired
To use the
pulse sensor,
place your
hands on the
metal con-
tacts. Your
palms must be
resting on the
upper contacts
and your fin-
gers must be
touching the lower contacts. Avoid moving your
hands. After a moment, the heart-shaped indica-
tor in the display will begin to flash and your heart
rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart
rate reading, continue to hold the contacts for
about 15 seconds.
Make sure that your hands are positioned as
described above, and that you are not moving
your hands excessively or squeezing the metal
contacts too tightly.
