For effective exercise, the seat should be at the proper height. As
you pedal, there should be a slight bend in your knees when the
pedals are in the lowest position. To adjust the height of the seat,
first turn the indicated knob counterclockwise about one turn to
loosen it (if the knob is not loosened enough, it may scratch the seat
post). Next, pull the knob, slide the seat post to the desired height,
and then release the knob. Move the seat post up and down
slightly until the pin on the knob snaps into one of the holes in
the seat post. Then, turn the knob clockwise until it is tight.

be connected to the upright bike for cable TV stations to be viewed.
Locate the cable jack on the front of the upright bike. Connect the
CATV cable to the cable jack.
A satellite receiver, VCR, or DVD player can also be connected to
the upright bike. Connect a CATV cable from the coaxial output on
your equipment (usually labeled TV OUT or RF OUT) to the cable
jack. Note: Audio/video equipment without coaxial outputs (some
satellite receivers and DVD players) will require an RF modulator to
operate with the upright bike. RF modulators and external CATV cables are not available from FreeMotion
Fitness, but are available at electronics stores. See the owner's manual included with the equipment you wish to
connect to see whether an RF modulator is needed.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The Basic console offers an impressive array of features to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the manual mode of the console is selected, the
resistance of the pedals can be changed with a touch
of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide
continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor.
A variety of preset workout programs is also offered.
Each program automatically controls the resistance of
the pedals as it guides you through an effective workout.
In addition, the console offers three pulse programs
that adjust the resistance of the pedalsto keep your
heart rate near target levels during your workouts, and
a unique fitness test program that measures your VO2
max level. Note: The pulse programs and the fitness
test program require the use of a Polar®-compatible
chest pulse sensor (not included).
To use the QUICK START mode of the console,
follow the steps beginning on page 10. To use a
preset program, see pages 12 to 16. To use a pulse
program, see page 17. To use the fitness test pro
