HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS
Heart rate program 1 is designed to keep your heart
rate between 60% and 85% of your estimated maxi-
mum heart rate while you exercise. Note: Your maxi-
mum heart rate is estimated by subtracting your age
from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your
estimated maximum heart rate is 190 (220 – 30 =
190).
Heart rate program 2 will keep your heart rate near a
target heart rate that you select.
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
See step 1 on page 12.
Select one of the heart rate programs.
To select a heart
rate program,
press the Program
Select button
repeatedly until
“H1” or “H2”
appears in the
lower display.
If you selected
heart rate program
1, the matrix will
show the first eight
target heart rate
settings of the pro-
gram.
If you selected
heart rate program
2, a heart symbol
will appear in the
matrix.
If you selected heart rate program 1, go to
step 3. If you selected heart rate program 2,
go to step 4.
Enter your age.
When heart rate
program 1 is
selected, you must
enter your age. If
you have already
entered your age,
press the Enter
(Program Start)
button and go to
step 5. If you have
not entered your
age, press the + or
– button repeatedly to enter your age, and then
press the Enter button. Note: Once you have
entered your age, it will be saved in memory.
Enter a target heart rate.
When heart rate
program 2 is
selected, you must
enter a target heart
rate. (See the heart
rate chart on page
23 for heart rate
guidelines.) To
enter a target heart
rate, press the + or
– button repeated-
ly, and then press
the Enter button.
Hold the handgrip pulse sensor or wear the
optional chest pulse sensor.
To use a heart rate program, you must hold the
handgrip pulse sensor or wear the optional chest
pulse sensor. If you use the handgrip pulse sen-
sor, it is not necessary to hold the handgrips con-
tinuously during the program. However, you
should hold the handgrips frequently for the pro-
gram to operate properly.
Each time you hold
the handgrips, keep your hands on the metal
contacts for at least 30 seconds. Note: When
you are not holding the handgrips, the letters
“PLS” will appear in the lower display instead of
your heart rate.
