Virtual Reality experience on your fitness machine
This	fitness	machine	is	equipped	to	support	a	Virtual	Reality	(VR)	experience	on	supported	devices.	
Review, understand, and follow all warning instructions and the correct operation as supplied with\
 your 
Virtual Reality equipment.
 
No one under the age of 13 should use this exercise equipment or the Virtual Reality experience. 
Before starting a workout with the Virtual Reality experience, be sure the workout area is and will be clear\
 
throughout the workout, and that all persons or pets are restricted from\
 the workout area. If necessary, a 
second person should be used to help secure the area.  
The VR experience produces an immersive virtual reality experience that \
distracts and blocks the view of 
the actual surroundings. For the safest experience, only use the VR experience when operating the fitness 
equipment in the seated position. Do not start the VR experience until s\
eated and ready to start a workout. 
Be sure the area is secure and that the workout area is safe from potent\
ial harm and clear of all obstacles 
within reach. Damage to you or items in the workout area could result du\
ring a VR workout. Stay seated on 
the exercise equipment until the VR gear has been removed and the actual\
 surroundings are viewable.
If dizziness or motion sickness is experienced from the Virtual Reality experience, safely balance yourself 
and stop the Virtual Reality experience as soon as possible. Coordination and balance \
is required when 
using the VR experience with the exercise machine.
Consult with a doctor before using the VR experience if you have any conditions which may be affected by 
an immersive Virtual Reality experience, such as epilepsy, pregnant, elderly, psychotic disorders, vision 
abnormalities, heart conditions, or any other medical condition.

Remote Heart Rate Monitor
Monitoring	your	Heart	Rate	is	one	of	the	best	procedures	to	control	the	intensity	of	your	exercise.	Contact	Heart	Rate	
(CHR)	sensors	are	installed	to	send	your	heart	rate	signals	to	the	Console.	The	Console	can	also	read	telemetry	HR	
signals	from	a	Heart	Rate	Chest	Strap	 Transmitter	that	operates	in	the	4.5kHz	-	5.5kHz	range.	
  Note:     The heart rate chest strap must be an uncoded heart rate strap 
from Polar Electro or an uncoded POLAR
®	compatible	model.	
(Coded POLAR® heart rate straps such as POLAR® OwnCode® 
chest	straps	will	not	work	with	this	equipment.)	
If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, 
consult your doctor before using a wireless chest strap or other 
telemetric heart rate monitor.
  NOTICE:     To prevent interference with the telemetry HR receiver, do not 
place any personal electronic devices in the left side of the me -
dia	tray.
Contact Heart Rate Sensors
Contact	Heart	Rate	(CHR)	sensors	send	your	heart	rate	signals	to	the	Console.	 The	CHR	sensors	are	the	stainless	steel	
parts	of	the	Handlebars.	 To	use,	put	your	hands	comfortably	around	the	sensors.	Be	sure	that	your	hands	touch	both	the	
top	and	the	bottom	of	the	sensors.	Hold	firm,	but	not	too	tight	or	loose.	Both	hands	must	make	contact	with	the	sensors	for	
the	Console	to	detect	a	pulse.	 After	the	Console	detects	four	stable	pulse	signals,	your	initial	pulse	rate	will	be	shown.
Once	the	Console	has	your	initial	heart	rate,	do	not	move	or	shift	your	hands	for	10	to	15	seconds.	 The	Console	will	now	
validate	the	heart	rate.	Many	factors	influence	the	ability	of	the	sensors	to	detect	your	heart	rate	signal:
•  Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electr\
ical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere 
with	pulse	detection.	Slight	hand	movement	while	in	contact	with	the	sensors	can	also	produce	interference.
•  Calluses	and	hand	lotion	may	act	as	an	insulating	layer	to	reduce	the	signal	strength.
•  Some	Electrocardiogram	(EKG)	signals	generated	by	individuals	are	not	strong	enough	to	be	detected	by	the	sensors.
•  The	proximity	of	other	electronic	machines	can	generate	interference.	
If	your	heart	rate	signal	ever	seems	erratic	after	validation,	wipe	off	your	hands	and	the	sensors	and	try	again.
Heart Rate Calculations
Your	maximum	heart	rate	usually	decreases	from	220	Beats	Per	Minute	(BPM)	in	childhood	to	approximately	160	BPM	by	
age	60.	 This	fall	in	heart	rate	is	usually	linear,	decreasing	by	approximately	one	BPM	for	each	year.	 There	is	no	indication	
that	training	influences	the	decrease	in	maximum	heart	rate.	Individuals	of	the	same	age	could	have	different	maximum	
heart	rates.	It	is	more	accurate	to	find	this	value	by	completing	a	stress	test	than	by	using	an	age	related	formula.
Your	at-rest	heart	rate	is	influenced	by	endurance	training.	 The	typical	adult	has	an	at	rest	heart	rate	of	approximately	72	
BPM,	whereas	highly	trained	runners	may	have	readings	of	40	BPM	or	lower.
The	Heart	Rate	table	is	an	estimate	of	what	Heart	Rate	Zone	(HRZ)	is	effective	to	burn	fat	and	improve	your	cardiovas -
cular	system.	Physical	conditions	vary,	therefore	your	individual	HRZ	could	be	several	beats	higher	or	lower	than	what	is	
shown.
The	most	efficient	procedure	to	burn	fat	during	exercise	is	to	start	at	a	slow	pace	and	gradually	increase	your	intensity	un -
til	your	heart	rate	reaches	between	50	–	70%	of	your	maximum	heart	rate.	Continue	at	that	pace,	keeping	your	heart	rate	
in	that	target	zone	for	over	20	minutes.	 The	longer	you	maintain	your	target	heart	rate,	the	more	fat	your	body	will	burn.

OPERATIONS
What to Wear
Wear	rubber-soled	athletic	shoes.	You	will	need	the	appropriate	clothes	for	exercise	that	allow	you	to	move	freely.
How Often Should You Exercise
  Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if y\
ou feel pain or tightness in 
your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor b\
efore you use the machine again. 
Use the values calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only. The heart 
rate displayed on the console is an approximation and should be used for\
 reference only.
•  3	times	a	week	for	30	minutes	each	day.
•  Schedule	workouts	in	advance	and	try	to	follow	the	schedule.
Seat Adjustment
Correct	seat	placement	encourages	exercise	efficiency	and	comfort,	while	reducing	the	risk	of	
injury.
1.	With	a	Pedal	in	the	forward	position,	center	the	ball	of	your	foot	over	the	center	of	it.	 Your	leg	
should	be	bent	slightly	at	the	knee.
2.	If	your	leg	is	too	straight	or	your	foot	cannot	touch	the	Pedal,	move	the	seat	down	on	the	upright	 bike.	If	your	leg	is	bent	too	much,	move	the	seat	up.
!Step off the bike before you adjust the seat.
Loosen	and	pull	the	adjustment	knob	on	the	seat	tube.	 Adjust	the	seat	to	the	desired	height.	
Release	the	adjustment	knob	to	engage	the	locking	pin.	Be	sure	that	the	pin	is	fully	engaged	and	
fully	tighten	the	knob.		
!Do not set the Seat Post position higher than the stop mark (STOP) on the tube.
To	move	the	seat	closer	to,	or	away	from	the	console,	loosen	the	seat	slider	adjustment	knob.	Slide	
the	seat	forward	or	rearward	to	the	desired	position	and	tighten	the	knob.
Foot Position / Pedal Strap Adjustment
Foot	pedals	with	straps	provide	secure	footing	to	the	exercise	bike.
1.	Put	the	ball	of	each	foot	on	the	Pedals.
2.	Rotate	the	Pedals	until	one	can	be	reached.
3.	Fasten	the	strap	over	the	shoe.
4.	Repeat	for	the	other	foot.
Be	sure	toes	and	knees	point	directly	forward	to	ensure	maximum	Pedal	efficiency.	Pedal	straps	
can	be	left	in	position	for	subsequent	workouts.
Power-Up / Idle Mode
The Console will enter  Power- Up / Idle Mode if it is plugged into a power source, any button is 
pushed,	or	if	it	receives	a	signal	from	the	RPM	sensor	as	a	result	of	pedaling	the	machine.

Push	OK	to	begin	the	goal-oriented	workout.	The GOAL value will count down as the value for percent completed 
increases.
    Note:  During a Calories Goal, each column is for	a	2	minute	time	period.	 The	active	column	will	advance	across	the	
screen	every	2	minutes.	If	the	workout	lasts	for	more	than	30	minutes,	the	active	column	will	fix	to	the	last	right	
column	and	push	the	previous	columns	off	the	display.
Fitness Test Program
The	Fitness	 Test	measures	the	improvements	of	your	physical	fitness	level.	 The	test	compares	your	power	output	(in	
Watts)	to	your	heart	rate.	 As	your	fitness	level	improves,	your	power	output	will	increase	at	a	given	heart	rate.	
    Note:  The Console must be able to read the heart rate information from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors or Heart 
Rate	Monitor	(HRM)	to	work	correctly.
You	can	start	the	Fitness	 Test	from	the	FEEDBACK	category.	 The	Fitness	Test	program	first	prompts	you	to	select	your	
fitness	level—Beginner	(	“BEG”	)	or	 Advanced	(	“ADV”	).	The	Console	will	use	the	 Age	and	Weight	values	for	the	selected	
User	Profile	to	calculate	the	Fitness	Score.
Start	to	workout	and	hold	the	Heart	Rate	Sensors.	When	the	test	starts,	the	intensity	of	the	workout	slowly	increases.	 This	
means	you	will	work	harder,	and	as	a	result,	your	heart	rate	increases.	 The	intensity	continues	to	increase	automatically	
until	your	heart	rate	reaches	the	“Test	Zone”.	 This	zone	is	individually	computed	to	be	near	75	percent	of	the	maximum	
heart	rate	of	your	User	Profile.	When	you	reach	the	 Test	Zone,	the	machine	holds	the	intensity	steady	for	3	minutes.	
This	lets	you	reach	a	stable	condition	(where	your	heart	rate	becomes	steady).	 At	the	end	of	the	3	minutes,	the	Console	
measures	your	heart	rate	and	the	power	output.	 These	numbers,	along	with	information	about	your	age	and	weight,	are	
computed	to	produce	a	“Fitness	Score”.
  Note: 			Fitness	Test	scores	should	only	be	compared	to	your	previous	scores	and	not	to	other	User	Profiles.
Compare	your	Fitness	Scores	to	see	your	improvement.

Recovery Test Program
Recovery	Test	shows	how	quickly	your	heart	recovers	from	an	exercise	state	to	a	more	restful	state.	Improved	recovery	is	
an	indicator	of	increasing	fitness.	
   Note:   The Console must be able to read the heart rate information from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors or Heart 
Rate	Monitor	(HRM)	to	work	correctly.
From	an	elevated	heart	rate,	select	the	Recovery	 Test	Program.	The	Console	will	show	“STOP 	EXERCISING”	and	the	
goal	will	begin	to	count	down.	Stop	exercising	but	continue	to	grip	the	contact	heart	rate	sensors.	 After	5	seconds,	the	
display	will	show	“RELAX”	and	will	continue	to	count	down	to	00:00.	For	the	entire	minute	the	console	will	also	show	your	
heart	rate.	 You	must	grip	the	heart	rate	sensors	for	the	duration	of	the	test	if	not	using	a	Remote	Heart	Rate	Monitor.
The	display	will	continue	to	show	“RELAX”	and	your	heart	rate	until	the	goal	reaches	00:00.	 The	console	will	then	calcu-
late	your	recovery	score.
Recovery	Score	=	 Your	heart	rate	at	1:00	(the	beginning	of	the	test)	minus	your	heart	rate	at	00:00	(the	end	of	the	test).
The higher the Recovery Test score value, the quicker your heart rate is returning to a more rest\
ful state and is an indica -
tion	of	improving	fitness.	By	recording	these	values	over	time	you	can	see	the	trend	toward	better	health.
When	you	select	the	Recovery	 Test	Program	and	there	is	no	heart	rate	signal	or	display,	the	Console	will	show	“NEED	
HEART 	RATE”.	 This	message	will	show	for	5	seconds.	If	no	signal	is	detected,	the	program	will	end.
Helpful Tip: For a more relevant score, try to obtain a steady heart rate for 3 m\
inutes before starting the Recovery Pro -
gram.	 This	will	be	easier	to	achieve,	and	obtain	the	best	result,	in	the	Manual	program	so	you	can	control	the	levels	of	
resistance.
Heart Rate Control (HRC) Workout Programs
The	Heart	Rate	Control	(HRC)	programs	let	you	set	a	heart	rate	goal	for	your	workout.	 The	program	monitors	your	heart	
rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sen\
sors on the machine or from a Heart Rate Monitor 
(HRM)	chest	strap,	and	adjusts	the	workout	to	keep	your	heart	rate	in	the	selected	zone.
    Note:   The console must be able to read the heart rate information from the CHR sensors or HRM for the HRC program 
to	work	correctly.
The Target Heart Rate programs use your age and other User information to set the Heart Rate Zone values for your 
workout.	The	console	display	then	gives	prompts	for	you	to	set	up	your	workout:
1.	 	 Select	the	Heart	Rate	Control	workout	level:	BEGINNER	(	“BEG”	)	 or ADVANCED (	“ADV”	)	and	push	OK.
2.	 	
Push	the	Increase() or Decrease( ) buttons to select	the	percentage	of	maximum	heart	rate:	50 – 60%,	60 –70%, 	
70 – 80%, 	80 –90%.
 
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if y\
ou feel pain or tightness in 
your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor b\
efore you use the machine again. 
Use the values calculated or measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only. The heart 
rate displayed on the console is an approximation and should be used for\
 reference only.
