Turn on the console.
Note: The console requires four “D” batteries (not
included). If you have not installed batteries, see
assembly step 3 on page 5 and install batteries.
To turn on the console, press the On/Reset button
or begin pedaling.
Select the manual mode.
Each time the console is turned on, the manual
mode will automatically be selected. If a personal
trainer program has been selected, select the
manual mode by pressing the Program button
repeatedly until a “P 8” appears in the display
and then pressing the Program button once
more.
Begin exercising and adjust the resistance of
the pedals.
As you exercise, adjust the resistance of the ped-
als as desired by pressing the + and – buttons.
There are ten resistance levels—level 10 is the
most challenging. Note: After the buttons are
pressed, it will take a few seconds for the selected
setting to be reached.
Follow your progress with the display.
When the con-
sole is turned
on, the scan
mode will be
selected. As
you exercise,
the display will
show your current speed, the elapsed time, the
distance that you have pedaled, the current resis-
tance level, and the approximate numbers of
calories and fat calories you have burned (see
FAT BURNING on page 13). In addition, your
heart rate will be shown when you use the hand-
grip pulse sensor (see step 5 at the right). The
display will change from one mode to the next
every six seconds. Note: Each time the resistance
level changes, the console will show the resis-
tance level for six seconds. When a personal
trainer program is selected, the display will show
the time remaining in the program instead of the
elapsed time.
If desired, you
can select a sin-
gle mode for
continuous dis-
play. Press the
Display Mode
button repeatedly until only the MPH (or Km/H),
Time, Miles (or Kms), Resist., Cals., or Fat Cals.
indicator appears in the display. Make sure that
the Scan indicator does not appear.
Measure your heart rate if desired.
Note: If there are thin sheets of plastic on the
metal contacts on the handgrip pulse sensor,
peel off the plastic.
To use the hand-
grip pulse sen-
sor, place your
hands on the
metal contacts.
Your palms must
be on the upper
contacts and
your fingers
must be touch-
ing the lower
contacts. Avoid moving your hands. When your
pulse is detected, the heart-shaped indicator in
the display will flash each time your heart beats.
After a moment, two dashes (– –) will appear and
then your heart rate will be shown.
For the most accurate heart rate reading, continue
to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds. Note:
When you first hold the handgrips, the display will
show your heart rate continuously for 15 sec-
onds. The display will then show your heart rate
along with the other feedback modes.
When you are finished exercising, the console
will automatically turn off after five minutes.
If the pedals are not moved and the console but-
tons are not pressed for five minutes,
the con-
sole will automatically turn off to conserve
the batteries.
