CHAPTER 4: CONSOLE OVERLAY AND WORKOUT DESCRIPTION
4.5 WORKOUT SETUP STEPS - HEART RATE CONTROL
HEART RATE - The Matrix Bike comes with standard digital contact heart rate sensors and are POLAR telemetry compatible. The heart
rate control workout mode allows the user to program their desired heart rate zone, and the Bike will automatically adjust the level based upon
the user's heart rate. The heart rate zone is calculated using the following equation: (220-Age)8%=target heart rate zone. The user must wear
a POLAR telemetric strap or continually hold onto the contact heart rate grips for this workout.
Locate the metal sensors on the handlebars of the Bike. Notice that there are two separate pieces of metal on each grip. You must be making
contact with both pieces of each grip to get an accurate heart rate reading. You can grab these sensors in any program to view your current
heart rate.
1) Start pedaling and press the HEART RATE key, then press ENTER.
2) Select Age by using the UP or DOWN LEVEL keys and press ENTER.
3) Select Target HR Percentage by using the UP or DOWN LEVEL keys and press ENTER.
4) Select Time by using the UP or DOWN LEVEL keys and press ENTER.

- Heart rate is within 10 BPM (beats per minute) of target, upper LED display will show a heart.
- Heart rate is greater or less than 10 BPM of target, resistance level will increase or decrease every 10 seconds.
- Heart rate is greater than 14 BPM of target, resistance level will drop to 30%.
- Heart rate is greater than 10 BPM of target, lower LED will display "WARNING HR ABOVE TARGET".
- Heart rate is greater than 20 BPM of target, the program will immediately end.
