FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
2. Set a workout goal if desired.
The easy-to-use console features six modes that
provide instant exercise feedback during your
workouts.
Scan (SCAN)—This mode displays the time, speed,
distance, calories, and odometer modes, for a few
seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
Time (TIME)—This mode displays the elapsed time.
Note: If you set a time goal (see step 2 on this page),
this display will show the time remaining in your
workout.
Speed (SPEED)—This mode displays your pedaling
speed, in kilometers per hour.
Distance (DIS)—This mode displays the distance that
you have pedaled during your workout, in kilometers.
Note: If you set a distance goal (see step 2 on this
page), this display will show the distance remaining in
your workout.
Calories (CAL)—This mode displays the approximate
number of calories you have burned during your workout. Note: If you set a calorie-burning goal (see step
2 on this page), this display will show the number of
calories yet to be burned in your workout.
To set a time, distance, or calorie-burning goal for
your workout, press the Mode button repeatedly
until the word TIME, DIS, or CAL appears in the
display. Make sure that the word SCAN does not
appear in the display.
Next, press the Set button repeatedly to set a goal.
To set a goal quickly, hold down the Set button. To
reset the goal, press and hold the Mode button until
zeros appear in the display.
3. Begin pedaling and follow your progress with
the display.
Scan mode—To select the scan mode, press
the Mode button repeatedly until the word SCAN
appears in the display.
Time, speed, distance, calories, or odometer
mode—To select one of these modes for continuous display, press the Mode button repeatedly
until the name of the desired mode appears in the
display. Make sure that the word SCAN does not
appear in the display.
As you exercise, the console will provide instant
feedback about your workout.
Odometer (ODO)—This mode displays the total
distance, in kilometers, that has been pedaled since
the odometer was last reset. Note: To reset the
odometer, remove the batteries from the console and
then reinsert them.
HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE
Make sure that batteries (not included) are installed
in the console (see assembly step 7 on page 8). If
there is a sheet of plastic on the console, remove the
plastic.
1. Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press any button on the
console or simply begin pedaling.
When a workout goal is not set, an upward-
pointing arrow will appear in the display when the
time, distance, or calories mode is selected. When
a workout goal is set, a downward-pointing arrow
will appear in the display when the time, distance,
or calories mode is selected.
If you have set a workout goal, the display will
count down and show zeros when you reach your
goal; if you continue to exercise, the display will
begin to count upward.
4. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for a few seconds, the
console will pause.
The console has an auto-off feature. If the ped-
als do not move and the console buttons are not
pressed for a few minutes, the power will turn off
automatically to save the batteries.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.
Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic
exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts
of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training
zone.
These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise
program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a
reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,
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, exercising at the proper intensity is the key to achieving results. You can use your
heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.
The chart below shows recommended heart rates for
fat burning and aerobic exercise.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the
bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest ten years). The three numbers listed above your
age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is
the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the
heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest
number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of
time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your
body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. 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 number in your training
zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your
heart rate near the middle number in your training
zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart
rate, exercise for at least
four minutes. Then, stop
exercising and place
two fingers on your wrist
as shown. Take a sixsecond heartbeat count,
and multiply the result
by 10 to find your heart
rate. For example, if your six-second heartbeat count is
14, your heart rate is 140 beats per minute.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body
temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation
for exercise.
Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During
the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not
keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer
than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you
exercise; never hold your breath.
Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles
and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, complete 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 to make
exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday
life.
