You can measure your heart rate using either the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. Note: Jf you hold the handgrip pulse sensor and wear the chest pulse sensor at the same time, the console may not display your heart rate accurately. Jf there are thin sheets of plastic on the metam con- tacts on the handgrip pulse sensor, peel off the plastic. To measure your heart rate, hold the contacts; your palms must be resting on the contacts closest to you, and your fingers must be touching the opposite contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your pulse is detected, the Heart Rate indicator above the lower display will light, one or two dashes (- -) will appear in the lower display, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the pulse sensor, the lower display will show your heart rate for up to 30 seconds. The display will then show your heart rate along with the other modes. If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Avoid moving your hands excessively or squeezing the metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, periodically clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. Turn on the fan if desired.

To select a personal trainer program, press the Program Select button repeatedly until a "P 1," "P 2," "P 3," "P 4," "P 5," or "P 6" appears in the lower display. When a personal trainer program is selected, the matrix will show the first eight resistance settings of the program. Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program. Each program is divided into several time seg- ments of different lengths. One resistance setting is programmed for each segment. (The same resistance setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments.) The resistance setting for the first segment will be shown in the flash- ing Current Segment column of the matrix. The resistance settings for the next several Current Segment iiiooooo, OO®®O >o OOO®@ om ®®®O® _ 1/4 MILE TRACK segments wiii 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 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 automatically 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 will move downward so that 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 of the matrix and no time remains in the program. Note: During the program, you can override the resistance setting for the current segment by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance will auto- maticaily change if a different resistance setting 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 pro- gram, simply resume pedaling. Use the console's pace function if desired. During personal trainer programs, the console can prompt you to increase or decrease your pace as it guides you through your workout. To use the pace function, press the left Mode button repeatedly until the Pace indicator is lit; make sure that the Scan indicator is not lit. Two horizon- taJ bars will appear in the matrix.

Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you. 12

See step 4 on page 10. Measure your heart rate if desired. See step 5 on page 11. Turn on the fan if desired. See step 6 on page 11. When the program is finished, the console automatically turn off. See step 7 on page 11. HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart rate during your workout. Note: Your maximum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum heart rate is 190 (220 = 30 = 190). Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50% and 85% of your maximum heart rate while you exercise; heart rate program 2 is designed to keep your heart rate between 50% and 80% of your maximum heart rate. Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program. Begin pedaling to activate the console. See step 1 on page 10. Select one of the two heart rate programs. When the power is turned on, the man z ual mode will be selected. To select a heart rate proz gram, press the Program Select button repeatedly until an "Hr 1" or "Hr 2" appears in the lower display. Enter your age. After a heart rate program is selecb ed, the word "AGE" and the current age setting will flash in the lower display. You must DIRT, _ HEARTPATE E J E:::::_CALS, Ez:_FAT E:::::_SCAN i enter your age to use a heart rate program, if you have already entered your age, press the Enter (Program Start) button and go to step 4. if you have not entered your age, press the + or - (Resistance) button repeatedly to enter your age, and then press the Enter button. Note: Once you have entered your age, it will be saved in memory. 13

pulse sensor or wear the optional chest pulse sensor. To use a heart rate program, you must hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest pulse sensor, if you use the handgrip pulse sen= sot, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips con= tinuously during the program. However, you should hold the handgrips frequently for the pro= gram to operate properly. Each time you hold the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not holding the handgrips, the letters "PLS" will appear in the lower display instead of your heart rate. Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program. Each heart rate program is divided into several one=minute segments. One resistance setting and one target heart rate are programmed for each segment. (The same resistance setting and/or target heart rate may be programmed for consecutive segments.) During the program, the resistance of the pedals will periodically change to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate. Note: if the resistance is too high or too low, you can adjust the resis- tance by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the current segment is complet- ed, the resistance may automatically change. During the pro- gram, the two hor- izontal bars in the matrix will help you to keep your heart rate near the target heart rate. Note: If the hori- zontal bars do not appear in the matrix, press the left Mode button repeatedly until RESISTANCE PROFILE CURRENT S£GMENT ooo°oooo Oj o jooooooo I_ _ @@@00000 c @°@O0000U# 1/4 MILE TRACK i E:z3SPEED[_aPACE E:z3SCANii the Pace indicator is lit; make sure that the Scan indicator is not lit. The upper bar in the matrix represents a target pace, and the lower bar represents your actual pace. When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest pulse sensor, the con- sole will compare your heart rate to the target heart rate for the current segment. If your heart rate is too far below or above the target heart rate, the upper bar will then change in length to prompt you to increase or decrease your pace. When the upper bar changes in length, adjust your pace so that both bars are the same length. important: The target pace is intended only to provide a goal. Your actual pace may be slow- er than the target pace, especially during the first few months of your exercise program. Make sure to pedal at a pace that is comfort° able for you. The program will continue until no time remains in the program. Note: 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 two displays. See step 4 on page 10. Note: During heart rate programs, the upper display will show only your current pace. If you select a different mode by pressing the left Mode button, the matrix will show only a graphic that represents your pulse. For heart rate programs to function properly, it is recommended that you leave the pace mode selected so that the two horizontal bars appear in the matrix. Turn on the fan if desired.

HOW TO LEVEL THE EXERCISE CYCLE if the exercise cycle does not sit flat on the floor, turn one or both of the leveling pads until the exercise cycle is level. Leveling Pads HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH if the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted. To adjust the reed switch, remove the indicated M4 x 48mm Screws (20) and M4 x 16mm Screws (21) from the Left Side Shield (4). Using an adjustable wrench, turn the Left Pedal (40) clockwise and remove it. Turn the Left 21 Crank Arm (not shown) so that it is pointing toward the front of the exercise cycle, and then slide off the Left Side Shield. Locate the Reed Switch (44). Turn the Left Crank Arm (34) until the Magnet (81) is aligned with the Reed Switch. Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated M4 x 16mm Screw (21). Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from the Magnet. Then, retighten the Screw. Turn the Left Crank Arm for a moment. Repeat until the console displays correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach the left side shield and the left pedal. HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT if you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even when the resistance is at the highest level, the Drive Belt (68) may need to be adjusted. Refer to HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH at the left. To adjust the Drive Belt, the Right Side Shield (5) must first be removed. Remove the indicated M4 x 48mm Screws (20) from the Left Side Shield (4) and the M4 x 16mm Screws (not shown) from the Right Side Shield.

gram, consult your physician. This is espe- cially important for individuals over the age of 35 or individuals with pre-existing health problems. , The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate read ings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in deter- mining heart rate trends in general The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results. EXERCISE INTENSITY Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper intensity level can be found by using your heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom- mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn- ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise. 165 155 145 140 130 125 II5 _ 145 138 130 125 118 110 103 _2 125 120 115 110 105 95 90 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above your age; the three numbers are your "training zone." The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for fat burning; the middle number is the recommended heart rate for maximum fat burning; and the highest number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise. Fat Burning To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative= ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener- gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num- ber or the middle number in your training zone as you exercise. Aerobic Exercise If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys- tem, your exercise must be "aerobic." Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the highest number in your training zone. WORKOUT GUIDELINES Each workout should include the following three parts: A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa- ration for exercise. Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min- utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro- gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.) A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and wiiI help to prevent post-exercise problems. EXERCISE FREQUENCY To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work- outs each week, with at least one day of rest between workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each week, if desired. The key to success is make exercise a regu= far and enjoyable part of your everyday life. 21
