HOW TO USE A SMART PROGRAM
1. Turn on the console.
See step 1 on page 11.
2. Select a smart program.
To select a smart
program, press
the Smart
Programs button
repeatedly until
P1, P2, P3, or P4
appears in the
display. A few sec-
onds after you
select a smart program, the display will show the
length of the program.
3. Begin pedaling to start the program.
The smart programs consist of 20 or 30 one-
minute segments. One resistance level and one
target pace are programmed for each segment.
Whenever the resistance is about to change, the
resistance level will flash in the display for a few
seconds. The resistance of the pedals will then
automatically change to the resistance level pro-
grammed for the next segment. Note: You can
manually override the programmed resistance
level by pressing the Resistance increase and
decrease buttons. However, when the current seg-
ment ends, the resistance will automatically
change to the resistance level programmed for the
next segment.
The target pace
settings for the
program will be
shown by the tar-
get pace meter in
the display. The
pace meter will
show your actual
pedaling pace.
As the target pace meter changes in height during
the program, adjust your pedaling pace so that the
same number of bars appears in both meters. If
y
our pedaling pace is slower than the current tar-
get pace setting, an arrow will appear next to the
p
ace meter to prompt you to increase your pace; if
your pace is faster than the target pace, an arrow
will prompt you to decrease your pace.
IMPORTANT: The target pace settings for the
program are intended only to provide a goal.
Your actual pace may be slower than the target
pace settings, especially during the first few
months of your exercise program. Make sure
to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for
you.
The display will show the time remaining in the
program. If you stop pedaling for a few seconds,
the program will pause and the time will flash in
the display. To restart the program, simply resume
pedaling.
4. Follow your progress with the display.
See step 4 on page 12.
5. Measure your heart rate if desired.
See step 5 on page 13.
6. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
See step 6 on page 13.
