HOW TO USE A RESISTANCE AND PACE PROGRAM 1 Begin pedaling to activate the console. See step 1 on page 12. 2 Select one of the resistance and pace programs. To select a resistance and pace program, press the Resistance Programs button repeatedly until "P 3," "P 4," "P 5," "P 6," "P 7," "P 8," "P 9," or "P10" appears in the right display. When a resistance and pace program is selected, a profile of the resistance settings of the program will scroll across the matrix. The left display will show the highest resistance level of the program for a few seconds, and then it will show how long the program will last. 3 Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program. Each program is divided into either 20 or 30 oneminute segments. One resistance setting and one pace setting are programmed for each segment. Note: The same resistance setting and/or pace setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments. The resistance setting for the first Current Segment segment will be shown in the flash- ing Current Segment column of the matrix. (The pace settings are not shown in the matrix.) The resistance settings for the next several segments will be shown in the columns to the right. As you exercise, the Target RPM bar will help you to keep your pedaling pace near the pace setting for the current segment. When one of the "too slow" indicators lights, increase your pace. When one of the "too fast" indicators lights, decrease your pace. When one of the center indicators lights, maintain your current pace. Important: The pace settings are intended only to provide motivation. Your actual pace may be slower than the current pace setting. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you. When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all resistance settings will move one column to the left. The resistance setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the resistance of the pedals will automatically change to the resistance setting for the second segment. Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit after the resistance settings have moved to the left, the resistance settings will move downward so only the highest indicators appear in the matrix. The program will continue until the resistance setting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column and no time remains in the program. Note: During the program, you can override the resistance setting for the current segment, if desired, with the Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance will automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next segment. If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling. 14
