Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must use the
handgrip pulse sensor. It is not necessary to hold
the handgrip pulse sensor continuously during
the program; however, you should hold the hand-
grip pulse sensor frequently for the program to
operate properly.
Each time you hold the hand-
grip pulse sensor, keep your hands on the
metal contacts for at least 30 seconds.
Press the Start button to start the program.
First heart rate program—This program is divid-
ed into 20 one-minute segments. One target
heart rate setting is programmed for each seg-
ment. 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 column
of the matrix. The
target heart rate
settings for the next several 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.
Second heart rate program—This program is
divided into 40 one-minute segments. The same
target heart rate is programmed for all segments.
Note: For a shorter workout, stop exercising or
select a different program before the program
ends.
Both heart rate programs—As you pedal, the
console will regularly compare your heart rate to
the target heart rate setting. If your heart rate is
too far below or above the target heart rate set-
ting, the resistance of the pedals will automatical-
ly increase or decrease to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting.
The Target Pace guide will prompt you to
increase or decrease your pedaling pace during
the program. When one of the “Too Slow” indica-
tors lights, increase your pace. When the one of
the “Too Fast” indicators lights, decrease your
pace. When the “On Pace” indicator lights, main-
tain your current pace.
Important: The target heart rate settings are
intended only to provide motivation. Your
actual heart rate may be slower than the tar-
get heart rate settings. Make sure to exercise
at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Note: During the program, you can manually over-
ride the resistance setting for the current seg-
ment, if desired, with the 1 Step Resistance but-
tons. However, when the console compares your
heart rate to the target heart rate setting, the
resistance of the pedals may automatically
increase or decrease to bring your heart rate
closer to the target heart rate setting. In addition,
you can change the angle of the ramp, if desired,
by pressing the 1 Step Ramp buttons.
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 displays.
