Heart Rate
The Heart Rate display shows the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the heart rate sensors. This value will not be shown if a heart rate signal
is not detected.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short
of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. The heart rate displayed on the console is an
approximation and should be used for reference only.

signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown.
Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now validate the heart rate.

Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with pulse detection. Slight
hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.
Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.
Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.

Chest Strap
Using the heart rate transmitter chest strap lets you monitor your heart rate at any time during your workout.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short
of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the
machine’s computer for reference purposes only.

The transmitter will send your heart rate to the machine’s receiver and display your estimated Beats Per Minute (BPM).
Always remove the transmitter before you clean the chest strap. Clean the chest strap regularly with mild soap and water, and thoroughly dry it.
Residual sweat and moisture may keep the transmitter active and drain the battery in the transmitter. Dry and wipe clean the transmitter after each
use.
Note: Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol when you clean the chest strap, as they can damage the electrodes
permanently.

The SMART MAX Interval program is the MAX Interval Workout Program with the Console shifting the resistance level for the User. To get the User
into the Target Burn Rate Range, the Console will adjust the resistance level based on the current RPM.
During a workout, the Console attempts to coach the User into the selected Target Burn Rate range. If the User is above the Target Burn Rate, the
Console will decrease the Resistance Level. If the User is below the Target Burn Rate, the Console will increase the Resistance Level.
The Time Intervals and Burn Rate levels can be customized.
To start a Workout Program:
1. Stand on the machine.
2. Push the PROGRAMS button until you select the desired Workout Program.
3. Push the START/ENTER button to begin the selected Workout Program.
4. When done with your workout, stop pedaling and push PAUSE/END to pause the workout. Push the PAUSE/END button again to end the
workout.
