The top window of the display panel offers readouts for common parameters of exercise and
training interest. For the Biostep, these parameters include Time, WATTs, Calories, METs and
Heart Rate with work rate shown in RPMs. For the BioStep Clinical Pro, display parameters
include Time, RPM, WATTs, Calories, METs and Heart Rate with work rate shown in WATTs. As
you exercise, the system displays values for each parameter in the display window. A green
indicator light denotes the parameter currently being displayed.
A low-battery LED is located at the bottom left of the display. This indicator illuminates if the
battery needs to be recharged. To recharge the battery, simply plug the input jack of the recharg-
ing pack into the receptacle at the front of the cycle base or exercise at higher work rates and
speeds above 50 RPM. Plug the opposite end of the recharging pack into a wall socket. The sys-
tem will recharge even while turned OFF.
NOTE: The BioStep has a Time-Out function based on the system clock. If left on without being used for
more than 60 seconds, the BioStep automatically turns OFF and all data is lost. For this reason, it is
important to check all accumulated data immediately following any exercise session.
NOTE: An explanation of METs, and the relationship of calories burned to oxygen consumption and
METs, is provided in Chapter 10, Additional Considerations.
NOTE: To toggle OFF the “beep” that sounds as parameters scroll during exercise:
