FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more effective. When you use the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide continuous exer­cise feedback. You can even monitor your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. Note: For information about the
optional chest pulse sensor, see page 19.
The console features six smart programs that automati­cally change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to vary your pedaling pace while guiding you through an effective workout.
The console also of automatically control the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to maintain a constant pedaling pace to keep your heart rate near target heart rate settings dur­ing your workouts.
In addition, the console also features iFIT.com interac­tive technology is like having a personal trainer in your home. Using the included audio cable, you can connect the exercise

The display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 11).
The last section of the display will show a track representing 1/4 mile. As you exercise, indicators will appear in succession around the track until the entire track appears. The track will then disappear and the indicators will again begin to appear in succession
Note: The console can show speed and distance in either miles of kilometers.
The letters MPH or Km/H will appear in the display to indicate which unit of measurement is selected. To change the unit of measurement, press and hold down the Program Select button for a few seconds. An “E” for English mile or an “M” for metric kilometers will appear in the display.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, the time will begin to flash in the display. To restart the pro­gram, simply resume pedaling.
Whenever the resistance is about to change, the resistance level will flash in the display for a few seconds. The resistance of the pedals will then automatically change to the resistance level pro­grammed for the next segment. Note: If the resis­tance level is too low or too high, you can over­ride it by pressing the Increase and Decrease buttons. However, when the current segment ends, the resistance will automatically change to the resistance level programmed for the next seg­ment.
The program will continue until the display shows a time of 0:00. If you continue to pedal after the program is completed, the display will continue to show exercise feedback; however, the display will not show the elapsed time until you select the manual mode or a new program.

You will also be prompted to pedal at a steady pace. When the word “faster” appears in the display, increase your pace. When the word “slower” appears, decrease your pace. When the center of the tar­get flashes, maintain your current pace.
Important: Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is too high or too low, you can manually override the level by pressing the decrease and increase but­tons; however, if you change the resistance level, you might not maintain the target heart rate. Also, 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.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise
ycle regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
c
o clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a
T small amount of mild soap—
abrasives, or chemicals to clean the exercise cycle.
Important: To avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away from the console and keep the con­sole out of direct sunlight.
PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING
For optimal performance of the pulse sensor, keep the metal contacts clean. Clean the contacts with a soft cloth—
to clean the metal contacts.
Avoid moving your hands or squeezing the metal con­tacts too tightly while using the pulse sensor; doing so may interfere with heart rate readings. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the metal contacts for about 15 seconds.
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, the left pedal and the left side shield must be removed.
Using an adjustable wrench, turn the left pedal clock­wise and remove the left pedal.

Slide the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from the Magnet, and 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.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries should be replaced; most console problems are the result of low batteries. To replace the batteries, see assembly step 5 on page 6.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise pro­gram, consult your physician. This is espe­cially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health prob­lems.
The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is intended only as an exercise aid in determin­ing heart rate trends in general.
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 recom­mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body uses easily accessible gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin to use stored
f your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
I exercise until your heart rate is near the lowest num­ber in your training zone as you exercise. For maxi­mum fat burning, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart rate is near the middle number in your training zone as you exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys­tem, 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 prepa­ration for exercise.
carbohydrate
fat
calories for energy.
calories for ener-
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; the highest num­ber is the recommended heart rate for aerobic exer­cise.
Fat Burning
o burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
T ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min­utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exer­cise program, 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 will help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work­outs 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. Remember, the key to success is make exer­cise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
