BATTERY INSTALLATION
The console requires four “D” batteries. To install bat-
teries, refer to assembly step 5 on page 7.
HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE
Note: If there is a piece of clear plastic on the face of
the console, remove it before operating the console.
1. To turn on the
power, press
the On/Reset
button or begin
pedaling.
2. Begin exercising and monitor your progress with the
two displays.
Left display—
This display
shows the
elapsed time
and the dis-
tance that you
have pedaled.
The display will
change from
one number to the other every seven seconds, as
shown by the indicators in the display.
Right display—
This display
shows your
pedaling speed
and the approx-
imate numbers
of calories and
fat calories you
have burned.
When the thumb pulse sensor is used, the display
will also show your heart rate (see step 3 at the
right). Every seven seconds, the display will change
from one number to the next, as shown by the indi-
cators in the display.
To reset the displays at any time, press the
On/Reset button.
3. Measure your heart rate, if desired.
To measure
your heart rate,
stop pedaling
and place your
thumb on the
pulse sensor as
shown. The
pulse sensor is
pressure activat-
ed—fully press it down. Do not press too hard, or
the circulation in your thumb will be restricted,
and your pulse will not be detected. Next, raise
your thumb slightly until the heart-shaped indicator
in the right display flashes steadily. Hold your
thumb at this
level. After a few
seconds, two
dashes will
appear in the
display, and
then your heart
rate will be
shown. Hold
your thumb on
the pulse sensor for another 15 seconds for the
most accurate reading. If the displayed heart rate
appears to be too high or too low, or if your heart
rate is not displayed, lift your thumb off the pulse
sensor and allow the display to reset. Press down
again on the pulse sensor as described above.
Make sure that you are applying the proper amount
of pressure to the pulse sensor. Try the pulse sensor
several times until you become familiar with it.
Remember to sit still while measuring your heart
rate.
4. To turn off the power, simply wait for a few minutes.
The console has an “auto-off” feature. If the
pedals are not moved and the On/Reset button
is not pressed for a few minutes, the power will
turn off automatically to conserve the batteries.
