HOW TO USE THE LIFESTYLER¨ DT1000
SEAT ADJUSTMENT
DESCRIPTION OF THE ELECTRONIC MONITOR
As you pedal, there should be a slight bend in your
knees when the pedals are at the lowest position. To
adjust the seat, first hold the seat and unscrew the
seat knob. Align one of the holes in the seat post with
the hole in the frame. Insert the seat knob into the
frame and the seat post, and tighten the seat knob
into the frame. Make sure to insert the seat knob
through one of the holes in the seat post; do not
insert the seat knob under the seat post.
The electronic monitor features five modes that
provide instant exercise feedback during your
workouts. The modes are described below.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Inspect and tighten all parts of the LIFESTYLER¨
DT1000 regularly. Replace worn parts immediately.
HOW TO ADJUST THE CHAIN
The exercise bike features a precision chain that must
be kept properly lubricated. Apply a few drops of light
multi-purpose oil to the chain every three months.
The DT1000 can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.
Keep liquid away from the electronic monitor. Keep
the monitor out of direct sunlight or the display may
be damaged. Remove the batteries when storing the
DT1000.
In addition, the chain must be kept properly adjusted.
If the chain is too tight, the bearings may be dam-
aged; if the chain is too loose, the fan may be dam-
aged. If the chain causes excessive noise or slips as
you pedal, check the chain in the following manner:
ELECTRONIC MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
If the electronic monitor does not function properly,
the batteries should be replaced. See assembly step
5 on page 5 for instructions. In addition, make sure
that the sensor wire is connected to the wire on the
monitor. See assembly step 6 on page 5.

If the electronic monitor displays incorrect information,
the reed switch should be checked. First, remove the

the reed switch, move the reed switch slightly closer to
the magnet, and tighten the screw. Make sure that
the magnet will not hit the reed switch when the
sprocket turns. Repeat until the monitor displays
correct information.
3. Loosen both axle nuts. To tighten the chain, turn
the adjustment nuts clockwise; to loosen the chain,
turn the adjustment nuts counterclockwise. Make
sure that the fan is straight and tighten the axle nuts.
Reattach the side shield, pedal, and fan guards.
HOW TO TIGHTEN THE PEDALS
If the pedals become loose, refer to assembly step 8
on page 5. Tighten the pedal axles into the arms of
the crank. Tighten the 1/2" locknuts on the pedal axles.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following general guidelines will help you to plan
your exercise program. Remember that proper nutri-
tion and adequate rest are essential for successful
results.
your goal is to burn fat, adjust your pace until your
heart rate is near the lowest number in your training
zone as you exercise.
For maximum fat burning, adjust your pace until your
heart rate is near the middle number in your training
zone as you exercise.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise
program, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for individuals over the age of 35
or individuals with pre-existing health problems.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular
system, your exercise must be Òaerobic.Ó Aerobic
exercise is activity that requires large amounts of
oxygen for prolonged periods of time. This increases
the demand on the heart to pump blood to the
muscles, and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood.
For aerobic exercise, adjust your pace until your heart
rate is near the highest number in your training zone
as you exercise.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart rate, first exercise for at least
four minutes. Then, stop exercising and place two
fingers on your
wrist as shown.
Take a six-
second heart-
beat count, and
multiply the
result by 10 to
find your heart
rate. For
example, if your
six-second
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
near the top of the chart (ages are rounded off to the
nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers below
your age. The three numbers are your Òtraining zone.Ó
The lowest number is the recommended heart rate for
fat burning; the middle number is the recommended
heart rate for maximum fat burning; the highest
number is the recommended heart rate for aerobic
exercise.
heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per
minute. (A six-second count is used because your
heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.)
Adjust the intensity of your exercise until your heart
rate is at the desired level.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include three important parts: a
warm-up, training zone exercise, and a cool-down.
Fat Burning
A Warm-up
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If
Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in prepa-
ration for strenuous exercise.
9
Training Zone Exercise
Exercise Frequency
After warming up, increase the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is in your training zone
for 20 to 30 minutes. (During the first few weeks of
your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate
in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest
between workouts. After a few months of regular
exercise, you may complete up to five workouts each
week if desired.
A Cool-down
The key to success is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Finish each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and
will help to prevent post-exercise problems.
