FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The easy-to-use console features six modes that pro-

vide instant exercise feedback during your workouts.

The console modes are described below.

Scan (SCAN)—This mode displays the time, speed,

distance, calorie, and pulse modes, for a few seconds

each, in succession.

Time (TIME)—This mode displays the elapsed time.

Distance (DIST)—This mode displays the distance (in

kilometers) you have pedaled during your workout.

Speed (SPEED)—This mode displays your pedaling

speed, in kilometers per hour.

Calorie (CAL)—This mode displays the approximate

number of calories you have burned during your work-

out.

Pulse (PULSE)—This mode displays your heart rate

when you hold the handgrip pulse sensors.

HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES

The console requires two AAA batteries (not included);

alkaline batteries are recommended. Remove the top

cover of the console, insert the batteries into the bat-

tery compartment, and reattach the top cover of the

console. Make sure that the batteries are oriented

as shown by the diagrams inside the battery com-

partment. Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on

the face of the console, remove the plastic.

HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE

1. Turn on the console.

To turn on the console, press the button on the

console or simply begin pedaling.

2. Select a mode.

Scan mode—To select the scan mode, repeatedly

press the button until an arrow appears next to the

word SCAN.

Time, speed, distance, or calorie mode—To

select one of these modes for continuous display,

repeatedly press the button until an arrow appears

next to the desired selection. Make sure that

there is no arrow next to the word SCAN.

Note: To reset the modes, press and hold the but-

ton until zeroes appear in the display.

3. Begin pedaling and follow your progress with

the display.

As you exercise, the console will display the

mode(s) that you select.

4. Measure your heart rate, if desired.

If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal

contacts of the handgrip pulse sensor, remove

the plastic. Place your hands on the handgrip

pulse sensor, 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 reading, 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,

periodically clean the metal contacts using a soft

cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi-

cals to clean the contacts.

5. When you are finished exercising, the console

will turn off automatically.

The console has an “auto-off” feature. If the pedals

do not move and the console button is not pressed

for a few minutes, the power will turn off automati-

cally to save the batteries.

Inspect and tighten all parts of the exercise cycle reg-

ularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the exercise cycle, use a damp cloth and a

small amount of mild detergent. IMPORTANT: To

avoid damage to the console, keep liquids away

from the console and keep the console out of

direct sunlight.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the console display becomes dim, the batteries

should be replaced; most console problems are the

result of low batteries.

To replace the batteries, see HOW TO INSTALL

BATTERIES on page 10 and insert two batteries into

the console.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

These guidelines will help you to plan your exercise

program. For detailed exercise information, obtain a

reputable book or consult your physician. Remember,

proper nutrition and adequate rest are essential for

successful results.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, exercising at the proper inten-

sity is the key to achieving results. You can use your

heart rate as a guide to find the proper intensity level.

The chart below shows recommended heart rates for

fat burning and aerobic exercise.

To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the

bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the near-

est ten years). The three numbers listed above your

age define your “training zone.” The lowest number is

the heart rate for fat burning, the middle number is the

heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the highest

number is the heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exer-

cise at a low intensity level for a sustained period of

time. During the first few minutes of exercise, your

body uses carbohydrate calories for energy. Only after

the first few minutes of exercise does your body begin

to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal is to

burn fat, adjust the intensity of your exercise until your

heart rate is near the lowest number in your training

zone. For maximum fat burning, exercise with your

heart rate near the middle number in your training

zone.

Aerobic Exercise—If your goal is to strengthen your

cardiovascular system, you must perform aerobic

exercise, which is activity that requires large amounts

of oxygen for prolonged periods of time. For aerobic

exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until

your heart rate is near the highest number in your

training zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching

and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body

temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation

for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise—Exercise for 20 to 30 min-

utes with your heart rate in your training zone. (During

the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not

keep your heart rate in your training zone for longer

than 20 minutes.) Breathe regularly and deeply as you

exercise–never hold your breath.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of

stretching. Stretching increases the flexibility of your

muscles and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FREQUENCY

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three

workouts each week, with at least one day of rest

between workouts. After a few months of regular exer-

cise, you may complete up to five workouts each

week, if desired. Remember, the key to success is to

make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your

everyday life.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

WARNING: Before beginning this

or any exercise program, consult your physi-

cian. This is especially important for persons

over age 35 or persons with pre-existing

health problems.

The pulse sensor is not a medical device.

Various factors may affect the accuracy of

heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is

intended only as an exercise aid in determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.

Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward from

your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you reach

down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15 counts,

then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees

and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit with one leg extended. Bring the sole of the opposite foot

toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended

leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15

counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:

Hamstrings, lower back and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your

hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your back

foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move

your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat

3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles

tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles

tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and grasp

one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close to your

buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3

times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.

Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold for

15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Quadriceps and

hip muscles.
