FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
The easy-to-use console features six modes that provide instant exercise feedback during your workouts.
The modes are described below.
Scan—This mode displays the time, speed, distance, calories, and pulse modes, for a few seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
Time—This mode displays the elapsed time that you have pedaled during your workout.
Speed (SPD)—This mode displays your pedaling speed, in kilometers per hour.
Distance (DIST)—This mode displays the distance that you have pedaled during your workout, in kilometers.
Calories (CAL)—This mode displays the approximate number of calories that you have burned during your workout.
Pulse (PUL)—This mode displays your heart rate in beats per minute when you are using the heart rate monitor (see step 3 on page 13). When your pulse is not detected, a P will appear in the display.
HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE
Make sure that there are batteries (not included) in the console (see assembly step 8 on page 9). If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the display, remove the plastic.
1. Turn on the console.
To turn on the console, press either button on the console or simply begin pedaling.
2. Select one of the six modes:
Scan mode—
When the console is turned on, the scan mode will automatically be selected. One mode arrow will point to the word
SCAN, and a second mode arrow will show which mode is currently displayed.
Note: If a different mode is selected, select the scan mode again by repeatedly pressing the Mode button.
Time, speed,
distance, calories, or pulse
mode—To select one of these modes for continuous display, press the Mode button repeatedly. The mode arrows will show which mode is selected. Make sure that
there is not a mode arrow pointing to the word
SCAN.
12
3. Measure your heart rate, if desired.
4. Reset the console, if desired.
If there are sheets of plastic on the metal contacts of the handgrip heart rate monitor, remove the plastic. Place
Contacts your hands on the handgrip heart rate monitor, with your palms on the contacts. Avoid moving your hands.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will be shown when the pulse mode is displayed. For the
most accurate heart rate reading, continue to hold the handgrips for about 15 seconds.
To reset the console, hold down the Reset button for a few seconds. After the console is reset, the scan mode will be selected.
5. When you are finished exercising, the console will turn off automatically.
If the pedals are not moved for a few seconds, the console will pause.
The console has an auto-off feature. If the ped-
als are not moved and the console buttons are not pressed for a few minutes, the console will turn off automatically to save the batteries.
If your heart rate is not shown, make sure that the pulse mode is displayed. In addition, make sure that your hands are positioned as described and that you are not moving your hands excessively or squeezing the contacts tightly. For optimal performance, periodically clean the contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi-
cals to clean the contacts.

FCC INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC CAUTION: To assure continued compliance, use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for optimal performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each time the exercise bike is used.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the exercise bike, 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.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console display becomes dim, replace the batteries (see assembly step 8 on page 9); most console problems are the result of low batteries.
If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, see step 3 on page 13.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the reed switch should be adjusted. Before adjusting the reed switch, turn the resistance knob to the lowest setting.
Next, loosen the screws (not shown) in the Shields (26,
27), and carefully remove the Shield
Cover (28).
Locate the Reed
Switch (29), and slide it upward or downward slightly. Then, turn the pedals for a moment and see whether the console displays correct feedback. Repeat this step until the console displays correct feedback.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over age 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
The heart rate monitor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The heart rate monitor is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
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 intensity 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.
Burning Fat—To burn fat effectively, you must exercise 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 minutes 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.
To find the proper intensity level, find your age at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the nearest 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.
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 exercise, 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.
