HOW TO USE THE PULSE PROGRAMS
The CONSTANT PULSE program will automatically
control the resistance of the pedals to keep your heart
rate near a target level during your workout.
The VARIABLE PULSE program will automatically
control the resistance of the pedals to keep your heart
rate within a target range during your workout.
1. Put on a Polar
®
-compatible chest pulse sensor
(not included).
You must wear a chest pulse sensor to use a
PULSE program.
See the instructions included
with the chest pulse sensor.
2. Plug in the power cord or begin pedaling to ac-
tivate the console.
See HOW TO ACTIVATE THE CONSOLE on page
11.
3. Select one of the PULSE programs.
To select a PULSE program, first press the PULSE
button. The indicator on the button will light, and
the word “PULSE” will appear in the main display
for a moment.
Next, the words “CONSTANT MODE” will appear
in the main display. If you plan to use the CON-
STANT PULSE program, press the ENTER button.
If you plan to use the VARIABLE PULSE program,
press the + or – button beside the ENTER button
so that the words “VARIABLE MODE” appear in
the main display; then press the ENTER button.
4. Enter your age.
See step 3 on page 15.
5. Enter your weight.
See step 4 on page 15.
6. Enter a maximum heart rate setting.
Next, the words “PCT MAX RATE” and the maxi-
mum heart rate setting of the program will appear
in the main display. The maximum heart rate set-
ting represents a
percentage
of your
estimated
maximum heart rate.
Note: Your maximum heart
rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your esti-
mated maximum heart rate is 190 beats per minute
(220 – 30 = 190). Therefore, if you are 30 years
old, a target heart rate setting of 50% is equal to 95
beats per minute (50% of 190 is 95).
If you wish to change the maximum heart rate set-
ting, press the + and – buttons beside the ENTER
button. When the desired maximum heart rate set-
ting is shown, press the ENTER button.
7. Enter a program time.
See step 5 on page 15.
8. Begin exercising.
During PULSE pro-
grams, the matrix
will display a heart-
beat graphic. Each
time a heartbeat is
detected, an addi-
tional peak will ap-
pear in the matrix.
