When you use the manual mode of the console, you can change the resistance of the pedals with the touch of a button. While you exercise, the console will display continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sensor. Smart Programs The console offers ten smart programs. Each program automatically changes the resistance of the pedals and prompts you to vary your pedaling pace as it guides you through an effective workout. Interactive Games The console also features four motivational interactive games. Using the dual game controllers, play the challenging Fat Blocker™ game or the fast-paced Calorie Destroyer™ game during your workouts—the harder you exercise, the greater your advantage! Or, use your wits and the interactive touch screen to win credits while playing the classic card game of Blackjack or Texas Hold ‘Em. To use the manual mode of the console, follow the steps beginning on page 12. To use a smart program, see page 13. To play the Fat Blocker game, see page 15.

Follow your progress with the display. Note: If there is a sheet of clear plastic on the face of the console, remove the plastic. 1. Begin pedaling or press any button on the console to turn on the console. A moment after you begin pedaling or press a button, the display will light. 2. Select the manual mode. Each time you turn on the console, the manual mode will be selected. If you have selected a program, reselect the manual mode by pressing the Program button repeatedly until the words MANUAL MODE appear in the lower left corner of the display. 3. Change the resistance of the pedals as desired. As you pedal, change the resistance of the pedals by pressing the increase and decrease buttons repeatedly. Note: After you press the buttons, it will take a moment for the pedals to reach the selected resistance level. The upper left corner of the display will show the elapsed time. Note: When a program is selected, the display will show the time remaining in the program instead of the elapsed time. The lower left corner of the display will show the distance you have pedaled, in miles or kilometers. The upper right corner of the display will show the approximate number of calories you have burned. The upper right corner of the display will also show your heart rate when you use the hand- grip pulse sensor (see step 5 on page 13). The lower right corner of the display will show your pedaling pace in miles or kilometers per hour. The center of the display will show the resistance setting of the pedals for a few seconds each time the resistance setting changes. You can also view selected information at a larger size. Press the Display button repeatedly to view time and distance information, time and calorie information, or time and pace information. Press the Display button again to view all information. The console has three backlight options. The “On” option keeps the backlight on while the console is on. To conserve the batteries, the “Auto” option keeps the backlight on only while you are pedaling. The “Off” option turns the backlight off. To select a backlight option, first press and hold down the Program button for several seconds. Next, press the increase button to select the desired backlight option. Then, press the Program button to save your selection. 12 The console can show speed and distance in either miles or kilometers. The letters MPH or KM/H will appear in the display to show which unit of measurement is selected. To change the unit of measurement, first press and hold down the Program button for several seconds. Next, press the decrease button to select the desired unit of measurement. Then, press the Program button to save your selection. 5. Measure your heart rate if desired. If there are sheets of clear plastic on the metal contacts on the hand- grip pulse sensor, remove the plastic. To measure your heart rate, hold the handgrip pulse sensor with your palms resting against the metal contacts. Avoid moving your hands or gripping the contacts too tightly. Contacts When your pulse is detected, one, two, or three dashes will appear in the display, and then your heart rate will be shown. For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the contacts for at least 15 seconds. Note: If you continue to hold the hand- grip pulse sensor, the display will show your heart rate for up to 30 seconds. If the display does not show your heart rate, make sure that your hands are positioned as described. Be careful not to move your hands excessively or to squeeze the metal contacts too tightly. For optimal performance, clean the metal contacts using a soft cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals to clean the contacts. 6.
