Keep children under age 12 and pets away from your exercise cycle at all times.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device. Various factors, including the user's move- ment, 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.

Wear appropriate exercise clothes while exercising; do not wear loose clothes that could become caught on your exercise cycle. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection while exercising.

10. Keep your back straight while using your exercise cycle; do not arch your back.

The Console (16) can use four 1.5V "D" batteries (not included); alkaline batteries are recommended.

IMPORTANT: If the Console has been exposed to cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room temperature before inserting batteries. Otherwise, you may damage the console dis- plays or other electronic components. Remove

the battery cover, insert the batteries into the bat- tery compartment, and reattach the battery cover.

Make sure to orient the batteries as shown by the diagram inside the battery compartment.

To purchase an optional AC adapter, contact the store where you purchased this product or call the telephone number on the cover of this man- ual. To avoid damaging the console, use only a manufacturer-supplied AC adapter. Plug one end

of the AC adapter into the jack on the console; plug the other end into an outlet installed in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers a selection of features designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and

effective. When you use the manual mode of the con- sole, 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 measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse

sensor.

The console also offers two smart workouts that auto- matically change the resistance of the pedals and

prompt you to increase or decrease your pace while guiding you through an effective workout.

In addition, the console features two heart rate work-

outs that automatically change the resistance of the pedals and prompt you to vary your pace to keep your heart rate near a target heart rate while you exercise.

To use the manual mode, see page 13. To use a smart workout, see page 15. To use a heart rate workout, see page 16.

Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove the plastic.

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

1. Press any button on the console or begin pedaling to turn on the console.

A few seconds after the console is turned on, the displays will light. A tone will then sound and the

console will be ready for use.

2. Select the manual mode.

If you have selected a work-

out, reselect the manual mode

by pressing a Smart Workouts

button once or twice until a track appears in the left display and

the time is reset to zero.

3. Begin pedaling and change the resistance of the pedals as desired.

As you pedal, change the resistance of the

pedals by pressing the Resistance increase or

decrease buttons. Note: After you press

the Resistance, it will take a moment for the pedals to reach the select-

ed resistance level.

4. Follow your progress with the displays.

The left display--will

show a track repre- senting 1/4 mile (400 meters). As you exer-

cise, indicators will appear in succession

around the track until the entire track appears. The track will then disap-

pear and the indicators will again begin to appear in succession.

seconds. Note: When a workout is selected, the display will show the time remaining in the workout

instead of the elapsed time.

The lower display-- This display will show your pedaling pace, in miles per hour (MPH),

and the resistance level of the pedals. The

display will change modes every few seconds. The display will also show your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse sensor.

Note: The console can show pedaling pace

and distance in either miles or kilometers.

The letters MPH or Km/H will appear in the

display to show which unit of measurement is selected. To change the unit of measurement, first press and hold down the

Workout Start button for several seconds. An "E" for English miles or an "M" for metric kilometers

will appear in the lower display. Press the Resistance increase button to select the desired

unit of measurement. Then, press the Workout Start button to save your selection.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

If there are sheets of clear plastic on the

metal contacts on the handgrip pulse

sensor, remove the plastic. To measure

your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor, with your palms resting against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your hands or

gripping the contacts tightly.

increase or decrease your pedaling speed. Press the Fan button repeatedly to select a fan speed or to turn off the fan. Note: If the pedals do not move for about thirty seconds, the fan will turn off auto- matically.

Slide the thumb tab on the right side of the fan

to pivot the fan to the desired angle.

When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will be shown in the lower display. For the most accu- rate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the handgrip 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. Be care- ful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts tightly.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.

The fan has high, low, and auto speed settings; while the auto mode is selected, the speed of the fan will automatically increase or decrease as you

When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.

If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a tone will sound, the console will pause, and the time will begin to flash in the upper display.

left display. In addition, the

maximum resistance setting of the workout will flash in the lower display for a moment and the workout time will appear in the upper display.

3. Press the Workout Start button or begin pedaling to start the workout.

Each workout is divided into 20 one-minute seg- ments. One resistance setting and one pace set- ting are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or pace setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive seg-

ments.

During the workout, the workout profile will show your progress (see the drawing above). The flash- ing segment of the profile represents the current segment of the workout. The height of the flashing segment indicates the resistance level for the cur- rent segment. At the end of each segment of the

workout, a series of tones will sound and the next segment of the profile will begin to flash. If a differ-

ent resistance level is programmed for the next segment, the resistance level will appear in the display for a few seconds to alert you. The resis- tance of the pedals will then change.

As you exercise, the target pace guide will ._ GOSLOWER help you to keep your

pedaling pace near the (_) TARGET pace setting for the A GOFAS+E_

current segment. When the "Go Faster" indica-

tor lights, increase your pace; when the "Go Slower" indicator lights, decrease your pace; when the "Target" indicator lights, maintain your current pace.

IMPORTANT: The pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the pace settings. 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 resistance level by pressing the Resistance but- tons. However, when the current segment ends, the resistance of the pedals will automatically adjust to the resistance level programmed for the next segment.

If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a series of tones will sound and the workout will pause. To restart the workout, simply resume pedaling. The workout will continue until the last segment of the

workout ends.

4. Follow your progress with the displays.

See step 4 on page 13.

5. Measure your heart rate if desired.

See step 5 on page 14.

6. Turn on the fan if desired.

See step 6 on page 14.

When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.
