to a position against your chest.  
HOW TO PUT ON THE CHEST PULSE SENSOR  
CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROUBLESHOOTING  
The chest pulse sensor consists of two components:  
the chest strap and the sensor unit. Follow the steps  
below to put on the chest pulse sensor.  
If the chest pulse sensor does not function proper-  
ly, or if the displayed heart rate is excessively high  
or low, try the steps below.  
• Make sure that the chest pulse sensor is worn  
exactly as described in step 2 at the left. If the chest  
pulse sensor does not function when positioned as  
described, move it slightly lower or higher on your  
chest.  
Chest Strap  
Tab  
• Each time you use the chest pulse sensor, use  
saline solution such as saliva or contact lens solu-  
tion to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor  
unit (see the drawing in step 3 at the left). If heart  
rate readings do not appear until you begin perspir-  
ing, re-wet the electrode areas.

• Make sure that you are within arm’s length of the  
console. For the console to display heart rate  
readings, the user must be within arm’s length of  
the console.  
See the inset drawing above. Insert the tab on  
one end of the chest strap through one end of the  
sensor unit as shown. Then, press the end of the  
sensor unit under the buckle on the chest strap.

• The chest pulse sensor is designed to work with  
people who have normal heart rhythms. Heart rate  
reading problems may be caused by medical condi-  
tions such as premature ventricular contractions  
(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.

strap to the sensor unit as described above.  
Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary.  
The chest pulse sensor should be under your  
clothing, against your skin, and as high under the  
pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.  
Make sure that the logo is facing forward and is  
right-side-up.  
• If the chest pulse sensor still does not function prop-  
erly, test the chest pulse sensor in the following way:

Next, hold the chest pulse sensor near the console.  
While holding one thumb stationary, begin tapping  
the other thumb against the electrode area at a rate  
of about one tap per second. Check the heart rate  
reading on the console.  
CHEST PULSE SENSOR CARE  
• Thoroughly dry the chest pulse sensor after each  
use. The chest pulse sensor is activated when the  
electrode areas are wetted and the chest pulse sen-  
sor is put on; the chest pulse sensor shuts off when  
it is removed and the electrode areas are dried. If  
the chest pulse sensor is not dried after each use, it  
may remain activated longer than necessary, drain-  
ing the battery prematurely.  
If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly  
after you have followed all of the above instructions,  
the battery should be replaced in the following way:  
Locate the battery  
cover on the back of  
the sensor unit. Insert  
a coin into the slot in  
the cover, turn the  
cover counterclock-  
wise, and remove the  
cover.  
• Store the chest pulse sensor in a warm, dry place.  
Do not store the chest pulse sensor in a plastic bag  
or other container that may trap moisture.  
• Do not expose the chest pulse sensor to direct  
sunlight for extended periods of time. Do not expose  
the chest pulse sensor to temperatures above 122°  
Fahrenheit (50° Celsius) or below 14° Fahrenheit  
(-10° Celsius).  
Remove the old bat-  
tery and insert a  
new CR 2032 bat-  
tery. Make sure that  
the battery is  
turned so the writ-  
ing is on top.  
Replace the battery  
cover and turn it  
clockwise to close it.  
• Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit  
when using or storing the chest pulse sensor.  
CR 2032  
Battery  
• Clean the sensor unit using a damp cloth—never  
use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals. The chest  
strap may be hand washed and air dried.

b), decrease your  
pace. When no indi-  
cator is flashing, your  
pace matches the  
pace setting for the current segment. Important:  
The pace settings are intended only to pro-  
vide motivation. Your actual pace may be  
slower than the current pace setting. Make  
sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable  
for you.  
The matrix will show  
the first seven resis-  
tance settings of the  
program you have  
selected.  
Begin pedaling to start the program.

Each program is divided into several time seg-  
ments of different lengths. (The main display will  
show both the time remaining in the program and  
the time remaining in the current segment of the  
program.) One resistance setting and one pace  
setting are programmed for each segment. (The  
same resistance setting and/or pace setting may  
be programmed for two or more consecutive seg-  
ments.)  
The program will continue in this way until the  
main display shows that no time remains in the  
program.  
Note: During the program, you can override the  
resistance setting for the current segment, if  
desired, by pressing 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 sec-  
onds, a tone will sound and the program will  
pause. To restart the program, simply resume  
pedaling.  
The resistance set-  
ting for the first seg-  
ment will be shown  
in the flashing  
Current Segment  
column of the  
matrix. (The pace  
Current Segment  
settings are not shown in the matrix.) The resis-  
tance settings for the next several segments will  
be shown in the columns to the right.

HOW TO USE HEART RATE PROGRAMS

5
6
7
Each heart rate program helps you to keep your heart  
rate near a certain percentage of your maximum heart  
rate during your workout. Note: Your maximum heart  
rate is estimated by subtracting your age from 220.  
For example, if you are 30 years old, your maximum  
heart rate is 190 (220 – 30 = 190).  
Measure your heart rate if desired.  
See step 5 on page 14.  
Turn on the fan if desired.  
See step 6 on page 14.  
Heart rate program 1 will keep your heart rate  
between 50% and 80% of your maximum heart rate;  
heart rate program 2 will keep your heart rate  
between 55% and 85%; heart rate program 3 will  
keep your heart rate between 60% and 85%; heart  
rate program 4 will keep your heart rate between 50%  
and 85%.  
When the program is finished, the console  
will automatically turn off.  
See step 7 on page 14.  
Follow the steps below to use a heart rate program.  
Begin pedaling to activate the console.

See step 1 on page 13.  
Select one of the four heart rate programs.

When the power is turned on, the manual mode  
will be selected. To select a heart rate program,  
press the Program Select button repeatedly until  
the words “HEARTRATE 1,” “HEARTRATE 2,”  
“HEARTRATE 3,” or “HEARTRATE 4” appear in  
the main display.  
Three seconds after a program is selected, the  
name of the selected program and the total pro-  
gram time will scroll across the main display.  
The current age setting will then begin to flash in  
the main display.  
During heart rate pro-  
grams, the matrix will  
show a graphic that  
represents your heart  
rate. Each time a  
heartbeat is detect-  
ed, an additional  
peak will appear.

As you exercise, the Training Zone bar will help  
you to keep your heart rate near the current tar-  
get heart rate for the program. The lit indicators  
in the bar will show your actual pace. When you  
wear the chest pulse sensor or hold the handgrip

To use the handgrip pulse sensor, it is not neces-  
sary to hold the handgrips continuously during  
the program. However, you should hold the  
handgrips frequently for the program to operate  
properly. Each time you hold the handgrips,  
keep your hands on the metal contacts for at  
least 30 seconds. Note: When you are not hold-

pace. If an indicator to the left of any lit indicator  
is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace.  
When no indicator is flashing, your heart rate is  
near the current target heart rate. Important:  
The target heart rates are intended only to  
provide motivation. Your actual heart rate  
may be slower than the current target heart  
rate. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is  
comfortable for you.  
The program will continue in this way until the  
main display shows that no time remains in the  
program.  
Begin pedaling to start the program.  
Each heart rate program consists of 20 one-  
minute segments. (The main display will show  
both the time remaining in the program and the  
time remaining in the current segment of the pro-  
gram.) One resistance setting is programmed for  
each segment. (The same resistance setting may  
be programmed for two or more consecutive  
segments.)  
Note: If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a  
tone will sound and the program will end. Heart  
rate programs cannot be stopped temporarily and  
then restarted.  
Monitor your progress with the main display.  
See step 4 on page 13.

At the end of each segment, a series of tones will  
sound. The resistance of the pedals will then  
change if a different resistance setting is pro-  
grammed for the next segment. Note: If the resis-  
tance is too high or too low, you can adjust the  
resistance by pressing the Resistance buttons.  
However, when the next segment begins, the  
resistance will automatically change if a different  
resistance setting is programmed for the next seg-  
ment.  
Turn on the fan if desired.  
See step 6 on page 14.  
When the program is finished, the console  
will automatically turn off.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING  
Inspect and properly tighten all parts of the exercise  
cycle regularly. To clean the exercise cycle, use a  
soft, damp cloth. Keep liquids away from the console  
and keep the console out of direct sunlight.  
Next, turn the indicated M8 Nylon Locknut (31) until  
the Drive Belt (47) is properly tightened. Then, reattach  
the right side shield.  
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT  
If you can feel the pedals slip while you are pedaling,  
even when the resistance is adjusted to the highest  
level, the drive belt may need to be adjusted. To  
adjust the drive belt, you must first remove the right  
side shield. First, remove the indicated M4 x 25mm  
Screws (65) from the Left Side Shield (26).

EXERCISE GUIDELINES  
WARNING:  
• Before beginning this or any exercise pro-  
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-  
cially important for individuals over the  
age of 35 or individuals withpre-existing  
health problems.  
Fat Burning  
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-  
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.  
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body  
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-  
gy. 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 num-  
ber or the middle number in your training zone as you  
exercise.  
• The pulse sensors are not medical  
devices. Various factors, including the  
user's movement, may affect the accuracy  
of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors  
are intended only as exercise aids in deter-  
mining heart rate trends in general.  
Aerobic Exercise  
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-  
tem, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise  
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for  
prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand  
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the  
lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,  
adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart  
rate is near the highest number in your training zone.  
The following guidelines will help you to plan your  
exercise program. Remember that 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, the key to achieving the  
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.  
The proper intensity level can be found by using your  
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-  
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-  
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.  
WORKOUT GUIDELINES  
Each workout should include the following three 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 30 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.  
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age  
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to the  
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers above  
your age; the three numbers are your “training zone.”  
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for  
fat burning; the middle number is the recommended  
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, 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. The key to success is make exercise a regu-  
lar and enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES  
The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right.  
Move slowly as you stretch—never bounce.  
1
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
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  
3
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 ten-  
dons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles ten-  
dons and ankles.
