HOW TO USE A HEART RATE PROGRAM
Heart Rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 65% and 85% of your maximum heart
rate during your workout. (Your maximum heart rate is
estimated by subtracting your age from 220. For
example, if you are 25 years old, your maximum heart
rate is 195 beats per minute.) Heart Rate program 2 is
designed to keep your heart rate near a target heart
rate that you select.
Follow the steps below to use a Heart Rate program.
B Turn on the console,
See step 1 on page 11.
B
Select one of the Heart Rate programs.
Each time the console is
turned on, the manual
mode will be selected. To
select a Heart Rate pro-
gram, press the Program
button repeatedly until the
number 1 or 2 appears in
the small display.
/
B
Enter your age or a target heart rate.
If program 1 is selected, the wordAGE will
appear in the large display and the current age
settingwillflash, If you have already entered your
age, press the Enter button.Ifyou have not
entered yourage, press the small + and - buttons
to enter yourage. Then, press the Enter button.
Once you have enteredyour age, it willbe saved
in memory until the batteriesare replaced.
If program 2 is selected, the letters PLS (pulse)
will appear in the large display and the current
target heart rate will flash. If you do not wish to
change the target heart rate, press the Enter but-
ton. If you wish to change the target heart rate,
press the small + and - buttons. Then, press the
Enter button. The target heart rate can be from 70
to 170 beats per minute.
B
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor.
It is not necessary to hold the handgrips continu-
ously during a Heart Rate program; however, you
must hold the handgdps frequently for the program
to operate properly. Each time you hold the
handgrips, keep your hands on the metal con-
tacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When you
are notholding the handgnps,the letters PLS will
appear in the large display instead of your heart
rate.
IL_ Begin pedaling to start the program.
To startthe program, simply begin pedaling.
Program 1 consistsof 20 one-minuteperiods.
One resistancelevel and one target heart rate are
programmedfor each period. (The same resis-
tance level and/ortarget heart rate may be pro-
grammed for two or more consecutiveperiods.)
Program 2 issixtyminuteslong (you may choose
to use only part ofthe program).The same resis-
tance leveland target heart rateare programmed
for the entire program.
If program 1 is selected, the resistanceof the
pedals willperiodically change. (Note: If the resis-
tance level is too highor too low,you can change
itby pressingthe + and - buttonsbelowthe large
display.However, when the current periodiscom-
pleted, the resistanceofthe pedals may automati-
callychange.) If program 2 is selected, the
resistanceofthe pedalswillnot change. Note:
You can changethe resistancelevel for the entire
programby pressingthe + and - buttonsbelow
the large displayif desired.
During programs
1 and 2, the
arrows in the
smalldisplay will
helpyou to keep
your heart rate
near the current
target heart rate.
Indicat_,._" \\
Bar //f_ _)
Arrows -_ p._._/i"
When you hold the handgrip pulse sensor, the
console will compare your heart rate to the cur-
rent target heart rate. If your heart rate is too far
above or below the target heart rate, the number
of arrows in the small display will change to
prompt you to increase or decrease your pace.
When the number of arrows changes, change
your pace until there is one arrow pointing to
each segment of the indicator bar. Important:
The target pace is intended only to provide a
goal. Your actual pace may be slower than the
target pace, especially during the first few
months of your exercise program. Make sure
to pedal at a pace that is comfortable for you.
