Each time the power
is turned on, the man-
ual program will auto-
matically be selected,
as shown by the “P-1”
in the display. (P-1 is
the manual program.) If you have selected a dif-
ferent program, select the manual mode again by
pressing the Program button repeatedly until the
“P-1” reappears.
Begin pedaling to activate the console.
1
The exercise cycle requires no batteries or
external power source. Instead, power is sup-
plied by a generator as you pedal. To activate
the console, begin pedaling. After a few seconds,
the entire display will appear for a moment. The
console will then be ready for use. Note: Before
the resistance buttons can be operated, you
must pedal at a pace of at least 12 miles per
hour.
Adjust the resistance of the pedals as desired.

Set a heart rate goal, if desired.
As you exercise, press the Resistance + and –
buttons to adjust the resistance of the pedals.
There are eight resistance settings. Note: After the
buttons are pressed, it may take a moment for
the pedals to reach the selected resistance setting.

During the first minute
that you pedal, the
first column of the matrix will flash. During the
second minute, the second column will flash, and
so forth, until the tenth column is flashing. After
you have pedaled for ten minutes, the first column
will again flash.
To set a minimum

press the Pulse Set
button twice. The
Low (L) indicator will
appear. Next, press
the Resistance + and – buttons to set a minimum
heart rate goal, in beats per minute (refer to
EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 12). Each time
a button is pressed, the goal will change by 5
beats per minute. Five seconds after you set a
goal, the Low indicator will disappear.
The matrix will also show the resistance level of
the pedals. Each time you press the Resistance +
or – button, the height of the columns in the
matrix will increase or decrease.
Indicator
In addition to the matrix, the display will show
your pedaling speed, the number of Calories you
have burned, the elapsed time, and the distance
you have pedaled. The display will also show
your heart rate when you use the pulse sensor
(refer to step 6 on page 10).
If you set a maximum or minimum heart rate
goal, the console will sound a tone to alert you
and the High or Low indicator will flash if your
heart rate is above your maximum goal or below
your minimum goal when you use the pulse sen-
sor. Important: Always make sure to exercise
at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Note: The console can display speed and dis-
tance in either miles or kilometers. The letters
“MPH” or “KMH” will appear in the display to show
which unit of measurement is selected. To change
the unit of measurement, refer to HOW TO
SELECT MILES OR KILOMETERS on page 11.
To cancel a heart rate goal, first press the Pulse
Set button until the High or Low indicator appears.
Then, press the Reset button.

ten minutes, the program will be completed. If you
continue exercising, the first column will again

To turn off the power, simply wait for a few
minutes. If the pedals are not moved and the
console buttons are not pressed for a few min-
utes, the power will turn off automatically.
Note: If the program is too easy or too difficult,
press the Resistance + or – button to adjust the
intensity level of the program. Each time you
press a button, the height of all of the columns in
the matrix will increase or decrease.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
During the first few months of your exercise program,
keep your heart rate near the low end of your training
zone as you exercise. After a few months of regular
exercise, your heart rate can be increased until it is
near the middle of your training zone as you exercise.
WARNING:
Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
individuals over the age of 35 or individuals
withpre-existing health problems.
To measure your heart rate, use the built-in pulse
sensor. You can also measure your heart rate by plac-
ing two fingers on your wrist as shown. Stop exercis-
ing and take a six-
second heartbeat

stop exercising.) If
your heart rate is too high, decrease the intensity of
your exercise. If your heart rate is too low, increase
the intensity of your exercise.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
To maximize the benefits of exercising, it is important
to exercise with the proper intensity. The proper inten-
sity level can be found by using your heart rate as a
guide. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate
should be maintained at a level between 70% and
85% of your maximum heart rate as you exercise.
This is known as your training zone. You can find
your training zone in the table below. Training zones
are listed according to age and physical condition.
A well-rounded workout includes three important parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 40 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-
gram, do not keep your heart rate in your training
zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-
outs 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. CAUTION: Be sure to progress at your own
pace and avoid overdoing it. Incorrect or excessive
training may result in injury to your health.
Remember, the key to success is make exercise a
regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
