Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your  
heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When  
gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure.  
Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse  
handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

SELECTING A THR ZONE PROGRAM  
CONDITIONING GUIDELINES  
1) Select THR ZONE using the UP/DOWN ARROW KEYS and press ENTER.  
ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING AN ExERCISE PROGRAM.  
2) Set WEIGHT using ARROW KEYS and press ENTER.  
3) Set TARGET HR.  
HOW OFTEN? (Frequency of Workouts)  
The HEART RATE window will flash showing the default target heart rate of 80 beats per minute. Select  
your target heart rate (from the chart on page 30) using the UP / DOWN KEYS and press ENTER.  
*NOTE: Target heart rate is selected in multiples of 5 beats.  
The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per week to maintain  
cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with  
more frequent exercise. Whether it’s 3 days or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make  
exercise a lifetime habit. Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if they set aside a specific  
time of day to exercise. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in the morning before breakfast, during lunch hour or while  
watching the evening news. What’s more important is that it’s a time that allows you to keep a schedule, and a  
time when you won’t be interrupted. To be successful with your fitness program, you have to make it a priority in  
your life. So decide on a time, pull out your day planner and pencil in your exercise times for the next month!  
4) Set TIME using ARROW KEYS and press ENTER.  
ꢀ) Press the ENTER or START key to start workout.  
NOTES:  
1) There is a 4-minute warm-up built into this program at level 1 resistance.  
2) After 4 minutes the resistance will automatically adjust to bring your heart rate within 5 beats of the  
target number you selected at the beginning of the program.  
3) If there is no Heart Rate detected, the unit will not change resistance levels up or down.  
4) If your Heart Rate is 25 beats over your Target Zone the program will shut down.  
HOW LONG? (Duration of Workouts)  
For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from between 24 and 60 minutes per session.  
But start slowly and gradually increase your exercise times. If you’ve been sedentary during the past year, it may  
be a good idea to keep your exercise times to as little as five minutes initially. Your body will need time to adjust  
to the new activity. If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensities has been found to  
be most effective. A workout time of 48 minutes or more is recommended for best weight loss results.  
SELECTING CUSTOM PROGRAMS  
HOW HARD? (Intensity of Workouts)  
How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your machine to prepare for a 5K workout,  
you will probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long  
term goals, always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does not have to be painful to  
be beneficial! There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate  
(using the grip pulse handlebars or a wireless chest transmitter - may be sold separately), and the second is by  
evaluating your perceived exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!).  
1) Select CUSTOM PROGRAM using the ARROW KEYS and press ENTER.  
2) Set TIME using the ARROW KEYS and press ENTER.  
• IF THE PROGRAM IS PREVIOUSLY STORED – After you set the time and press START/STOP the previously  
stored program will begin.  
3) Set WEIGHT using the ARROW KEYS and press ENTER  
4) After WEIGHT is set press ENTER to save the program and USER’S WEIGHT into memory.  
ꢀ) Set the RESISTANCE PROFILES using the ARROW KEYS and press ENTER after each RESISTANCE PROFILE  
is set to the desired level (repeat until all 15 segments are chosen).  
*NOTE: If START is pressed it will take you back to previous segment.  
ꢁ) Press START or ENTER to begin the program.  
PERCEIVED ExERTION LEVEL  
A simple way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived exertion level. While exercising, if you  
are too winded to maintain a conversation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb  
is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your breath, it’s time to slow down.  
Always be aware of these warning signs of overexertion.  
*NOTE: To reset the memory press and hold the ENTER button for 5 seconds.

TARGET HEART RATE ZONE CHART  
STRETCHING  
TIPS  
What is Target Heart Rate Zone?  
STRETCH FIRST  
Target Heart Rate Zone tells you  
the number of times per minute  
your heart needs to beat to  
Before using your product, it is best to take a few minutes to do a few gentle stretching exercises. Stretching  
prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into each of these  
stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to bounce while doing

these stretches.  
achieve a desired workout effect.  
It is represented as a percentage  
of the maximum number of times  
your heart can beat per minute.  
Target Zone will vary for each  
individual, depending on age,  
current level of conditioning,  
and personal fitness goals. The  
American Heart Association  
recommends working-out at a  
Target Heart Rate Zone of between  
60% and 75% of your maximum  
heart rate. A beginner will want to  
workout in the 60% range while  
a more experienced exerciser will  
want to workout in the 70-75%  
range. See chart for reference.

COOL DOWN  
Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period of 3-5 minutes allows your heart to readjust to the  
decreased demand. Make sure that your cool down period consists of a very slow pace to allow your heart  
rate to lower. After the cool-down, repeat the stretching exercises listed above to loosen and relax your  
muscles.

• Improve Body Shape and Tone - interval workouts, alternate between hi and low intensities  
• Increased Energy Level - more frequent daily workouts  
SATURDAY  
• Improved Sports Performance - high intensity workouts  
• Improved Cardiovascular Endurance - moderate intensity, longer duration workouts  
WEEKLY TOTALS :  
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals in writing.  
The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long term, divide  
them up into monthly and weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation  
benefits. Short-term goals are easier to achieve. Your console provides you with several readouts that can  
be used to record your progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time.

HEART RATE TROUBLESHOOTING  
COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS  
PROBLEM: There is no heart rate reading.  
SOLUTION: Remove the console and verify that the heart rate cables are attached properly, making  
sure that the cables are securely inserted into the console.  
ARE THE SOUNDS MY BIKE MAKES NORMAL?  
Our bikes are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic  
resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance  
system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder  
technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our bikes. These  
mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of  
significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts will  
generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds  
to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.  
Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as high power lines, large motors, etc.  
YOU MAY ExPERIENCE AN ERRATIC HEART RATE READOUT UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:  
• Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the  
heart rate handlebars.  
• Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate grips while exercising.  
• When you are breathing heavily during a workout.  
• When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.  
WHY IS THE BIKE I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?  
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background  
noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood  
overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness  
product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.  
• When your hands are dry or cold. Try moistening your palms or rubbing them together to warm.  
• Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.  
• Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.  
• Anyone whose skin on the measuring palms is especially thick.  
• Low light environments can also affect proper readings.  
HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST?  
NOTE: Outside interference sources such as computers, motors and fluorescent lights may cause the heart rate  
The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. Belts are  
now commonly used in far more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives.  
reading to be erratic.  
If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue use and turn the power off.  
CAN I MOVE THE BIKE EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?  
Your bike has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer. It is easy to move your bike by rolling  
it on the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your bike in a comfortable and inviting  
room. Your bike is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their bikes facing the TV or  
a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your bike in a unfinished basement. To make exercise a  
desirable daily activity for you, the bike should be in a comfortable setting.  
CALL CUSTOMER TECH SUPPORT AT THE NUMBER ON THE BACK PANEL.  
WHEN YOU ARE NEAR THE EQUIPMENT  
The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these items readily available:  
• Model Name  
• Serial Number  
• Date of Purchase (receipt or credit card statement)  
In order for Customer Tech Support to service your bike, they may need to ask detailed questions about the  
symptoms that are occurring. Some troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:  
• How long has this problem been occurring?  
• Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?  
• If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front, back or inside? What kind of noise is it (thumping,  
grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)?  
• If you are having a resistance problem what is occurring? Is the resistance always too hard or too easy?  
Does the resistance respond when pushing the buttons on the console? Does the resistance constantly cycle  
through the levels during the workout?  
• Has the machine been maintained per the maintenance schedule?  
• Does the problem occur when using the handlebars? Without using the handlebars?  
Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and  
the service necessary to get you and your Horizon Fitness bike running again!
