CSAFE feature Your console is equipped with a CSAFE feature. The power (POWER) port can be used for powering a remote controlled audio-visual system by connecting a cable from the remote to the power port at the back of the console. The Communication port (COMM) can be used to interact with software applications.

Basic information When you begin a program the dot matrix will display the workout pro le. The message window will initially be displaying distance, calories, pulse and time information. On the bottom left of the key pad is a key labeled display.

Preset programs The bike has three di erent programs that have been designed for a variety of workout goals. These programs factory preset work level pro les for achieving di erent goals. The initial built-in level of di culty for each program is set to a relatively easy level. You may adjust the level of di culty (max level) for each program before beginning.
Page 20
Hill The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in the pedals will steadily increase and then decrease during the program. Plateau The Plateau program provides a steady state exercise with warm up and cool down periods. Interval The Interval program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity.

VO2 Test The VO2 program is based on the YMCA protocol and is a sub-maximal test that uses pre-determined, xed work levels that are determined based on the heart rate readings measured as the test progresses. The test will take anywhere between 6 to 15 minutes to complete, depending on the tness level of the user.
Page 25
Before the test • Make sure you are in good health; check with your physician before performing any exercise if you are over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health conditions. • Adjust the seat to the proper position so that when your leg is extended during pedaling there is a slight bend at the knee of about 5 degrees.

Heart rate program The old motto; “no pain, no gain” is a myth that has been overpowered by the bene ts of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors.

If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering your age is used for the heart rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue. The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular tness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control.
Page 31
The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also known as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20 depending upon how you feel or the perception of your e ort. The scale is as follows: Rating perception of e ort 6 Minimal 7 Very, very light...

Heart rate program programing To start the HR program follow the instructions below and follow the directions in the message window. • Press the HR key to select the HR program (TA HR 65% / TA HR 80% / HR interval) and then press the con rm key to enter. •...
Page 33
Heart rate auto pilot mode The HR auto pilot mode only works in Fitness programs (manual / hill / plateau / interval / custom). When you are exercising in a tness program and decide to just maintain the HR level you are at currently you can just press auto pilot and the console will automatically switch to HR control and will maintain your current HR.
Using a heart rate transmitter Note The chest strap transmitter is not a standard part, but is a separate purchase. Most transmitters that operate at Bluetooth or ANT+ will also work. How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter? • Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts. •...

• Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals. However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 black square areas on the reverse side of the belt and either side of transmitter). It’s also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out.

Erratic operation Caution! Do not use this product for heart rate control unless a steady, solid actual heart rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem. Areas to look at for interference, which may cause erratic heart rate •...
Maintenance • Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each use to prevent rust. • Check the pedal to make sure they are tight (monthly). • If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons: - The hardware was not su ciently tightened during assembly.
