FEEDBACK

Your Horizon Fitness upright bike offers two heart rate feedback options. You may
choose to use the heart rate handlebars, or the chest transmitter for a hands free
workout. (Bsc3 only)

HEART RATE HANDLEBAR

Place the palm of your hands directly on the heart rate handlebars. Both hands
must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. When griping the handlebars, do
not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Try to
maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars. It is rec-
ommended that you hold the handlebars only long enough to see your heart rate
readout on the console. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently
holding the handlebars.

TELEMETRIC CHEST TRANSMITTER

Prior to wearing the chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber elec-
trodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles,
directly over your sternum, with the Horizon Fitness logo facing out. Note: The
chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consis-
tent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may
receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.

If you have any problems with the heart rate function please refer to (pages 22 &
23) in the troubleshooting section.

WARNING!

The heart rate function is not a medical device. Various factors may affect the
accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an
exercise aid.

CHOOSING THE LEVEL

Choose the program difficulty level, level 1-10, by pressing the + or - speed but-
tons. Available only on certain programs. You may also choose your program level
by pressing the numbered quick speed key that correlates with the program level
number. For example, to choose a program level of 5, simply press quick speed
key number 5. Once the program level has been chosen, press the ‘select’ button.
Once in a program, the user may change the difficulty level by pressing the + or -
speed keys or by pressing the quick speed keys. 

NOTE:

If one segment is changed,

the entire program will in turn be changed. For example, when in a program, if the
user increases the speed 1 mph, all of the remaining segments will also be
increased by 1 mph.
