Note: The console is compatible with Bluetooth
®
Smart heart rate monitors.
Note: If you use both heart rate monitors at the
same time, the chest heart rate monitor will
have priority.
If there are
sheets of plas-
tic on the metal
contacts (A) on
the handgrip
heart rate moni-
tor, remove the
plastic. To mea-
sure your heart
rate, hold the handgrip heart rate monitor with your
palms resting against the contacts. Avoid moving
your hands or gripping the contacts tightly.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will
appear in the display. For the most accurate
heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least
15 seconds.
6. Turn on the fan if desired.
The fan has several speed
settings, including an auto
mode. While the auto mode
is selected, the speed of the
fan will automatically increase or decrease as your
exercise intensity increases or decreases. Press
the fan increase and decrease buttons repeatedly
to select a fan speed or to turn off the fan.
Note: If the pedals do not move for about 30
seconds, the fan will turn off automatically.
7. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for several seconds, a
series of tones will sound, the console will pause,
and the display will pause.
If the pedals do not move for several minutes, the
console will turn off and the display will be reset.

HOW TO USE AN ONBOARD WORKOUT
1. Turn on the console.
Begin pedaling or press any button on the console
to turn on the console.
When you turn on the console, the displays will turn
on, a tone will sound, and the console will be ready
for use.

level for the workout will also appear in the display.
3. Begin pedaling to start the workout.
Each workout is divided into one-minute seg-
ments. One resistance level and one target speed
is programmed for each segment. Note: The same
resistance level and/or target speed may be pro-
grammed for consecutive segments.
At the end of each segment of the workout, a
series of tones will sound. If a different resistance
level and/or target speed is programmed for the
next segment, the resistance level and/or target
speed will appear in the display to alert you. The
resistance of the pedals will then change.
As you exercise, keep your pedaling speed near
the target speed for the current segment.
IMPORTANT: The target speed is intended only
to provide motivation. Your actual pedaling
speed may be slower than the target speed.
Make sure to pedal at a speed that is comfort-
able for you.
If the resistance level for the current segment is
too high or too low, you can manually override the
setting by pressing the Quick Resistance buttons.
IMPORTANT: When the current segment of the
workout ends, the pedals will automatically
adjust to the resistance level programmed for
the next segment.
The workout will continue in this way until the last
segment ends. To pause the workout at any time,
stop pedaling. The time will flash in the display. To
resume the workout, simply resume pedaling.

MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for optimal
performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly
tighten all parts each time the exercise bike is used.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the exercise bike, use a damp cloth and a
small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
The console requires activation. If you have not
activated the console, see assembly step 14 on
page 13.
If lines appear in the console display, see HOW TO
CHANGE CONSOLE SETTINGS on page 20 and
adjust the contrast level of the display.
If the console does not display your heart rate when
you use the handgrip heart rate monitor, see step 5 on
page 17.
If a replacement power adapter is needed, call the
telephone number on the cover of this manual.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the console, use
only a manufacturer-supplied regulated power
adapter.
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while the
resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the drive
belt may need to be adjusted. Before you adjust the
drive belt, unplug the power adapter.
Next, remove the M4 x 16mm Flat Head Screw (93)
from the Front Shield Cover (9). Then, using a stan-
dard screwdriver, release the Front Shield Cover and
slide it out of the way.
Next, tighten the indicated M8 Locknut (43) slightly to
tighten the Drive Belt (not shown). Then, reattach the
Front Shield Cover (9) and plug in the power adapter.
Repeat this process, if necessary, until the pedals no
longer slip.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. Before you adjust
the reed switch, unplug the power adapter.
Using a small standard screwdriver, carefully pry the
left Cover Insert (35) off the left Crank Arm Cover (33).
Next, remove the M5 x 12mm Screw (85) and the
M5 x 21mm Screw (86). Then, rotate the left Crank
Arm Cover out of the way.
Locate the Reed Switch (57). Rotate the Left Crank
Arm (20) until a Magnet (55) is aligned with the Reed
Switch. Next, loosen the M5 x 16mm Flat Head Screw
(60), slide the Reed Switch slightly toward or away
from the Magnet, and then retighten the Flat Head
Screw.
Plug in the power adapter and rotate the Left Crank
Arm (20) for a moment. Repeat these actions until the

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
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 inten-
sity 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 near-
est 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 exer-
cise 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 exer-
cise 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.
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.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-
ing 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 min-
utes 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 stretch-
ing. 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.
WARNING: Before beginning this
or any exercise program, consult your physi-
cian. This is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre-existing
health problems.
The heart rate monitor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is
intended only as an exercise aid in determin-
ing heart rate trends in general.
