HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE
Make sure that there are batteries (not included) in the
console (see assembly step 6 on page 9). If there
is a sheet of plastic on the console, remove the plastic.
1. Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press any button on the
console or simply begin pedaling.
2. Set a workout goal, if desired.
To set a time, distance, calorie-burning, or pulse
goal for your workout, press the MODE button
repeatedly until the word TIME, DIST, CAL, or P
appears in the display. Make sure that the word
SCAN does not appear in the display.
Next, press the SET button repeatedly to set a
goal. To set a goal quickly, hold down the SET but-
ton. To reset the goal, press the RESET button.
3. Begin pedaling and follow your progress with
the displays.
As you exercise, the console will provide instant
feedback about your workout. If you have set a
workout goal, a tone will sound for several seconds
when you reach your goal; if you continue to exer-
cise, the display will begin to count upward.
4. Measure your heart rate, if desired.
If there are
sheets of plastic
on the metal
contacts of the
handgrip heart
rate monitor,
remove the
plastic. Place
your hands on
the handgrip
heart rate moni-
tor, with your
palms on the contacts. Avoid moving your hands.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will be
shown. For the most accurate heart rate read-
ing, continue to hold the handgrips for about 30
seconds.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that your
hands are positioned as described. Avoid moving
your hands excessively or squeezing the metal
contacts tightly. For optimal performance, periodi-
cally clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth;
never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to
clean the contacts.
5. When you are finished exercising, the console
will turn off automatically.
If the pedals do not move for a few seconds, the
console displays will pause.
The console has an “auto-off” feature. If the ped-
als do not move and the console buttons are not
pressed for a few minutes, the power will turn off
automatically to save the batteries.
