Manual Mode

In manual mode, you tell the 500C Cycle and 500R Recumbent Cycle how long you want to

work out; you can adjust your pedaling speed and level ("gear") at any time during the

workout. Follow these steps:

1. Get on the 500 series cycle and start pedaling to activate the console.

If your 500C Cycle and 500R Recumbent Cycle is set for "Get On and Go" operation,

it will automatically go into manual mode and use the default workout length. To

change the length, press Clear twice, then continue with step 2.

2. The display will show the default workout length in the "Speed" field, and the light next to

"Time" at the right of the console will flash. You can change the workout length using the

up and down arrow keys, up to the maximum for this 500C Cycle and 500R Recumbent

Cycle. Press Enter.

3. The light next to "Program" now flashes. Press the Manual program key.

4. Select the effort level you want by pressing

the up or down arrow. If you hold the key

down, the setting will continue to change.

Pick a level that gives you a good workout

at a comfortable pedaling speed without

causing pain. You can adjust the level at

any point in your workout - if you feel like

you're straining, decrease the level to

make it easier to pedal. Remember, you're

in bicycle mode during a manual workout;

setting a new level changes the resistance

on the pedals.

5. Enjoy your ride!

During your workout, the console shows your progress and statistics about your workout. For

details about these displays, see the section "The Workout Display," later in this chapter.

You can change from manual mode to one of the programmed workouts during your

workout. Just press the key for the program you want.

If you need to pause during a workout, the cycle will remember your workout information for

about 10 seconds. If you stop for longer than this, the 500C Cycle and 500R Recumbent

Cycle loses the information, and you'll have to start a new workout.

When you finish, you see a workout summary giving statistics for your total workout. See "The

Workout Display," below, for a description.
