Calorie Burn Rate
The Calorie Burn Rate display eld shows the current rate at which calories are being burned per minute. The RPM and Resistance Level directly
change this rate. The User Prole settings also affect the rate (User weight).
Heart Rate
The Heart Rate display shows the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the heart rate sensors. This value will not be shown if a heart rate signal
is not detected.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short
of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. The heart rate displayed on the console is an
approximation and should be used for reference only.
RPM
The RPM display eld shows the machine revolutions per minute (pedal speed).
Resistance Level
The Resistance Level display eld shows the current Resistance Level (1-16). The higher the Resistance Level, the harder it will be to push the Ped-
als.

Connectivity with the Bowex™ Max Intelligence™ App
The Bowex™ Max Intelligence™ App syncs with your Bowex™ Max Trainer™ machine to track total calories burned, time, and more. It records
and stores every workout for quick reference. Track your results and share with friends and family. The App will also notify you if there is an update
to your machine.
The Bowex™ Max Intelligence™ App also has the Fitness Assessment program. This program detects your level of tness by simply completing
the workout. Follow the prompts during the workout to the best of your abilities, and by the end of the workout the app will have established your
baseline level of tness. It will then create custom workouts based on your specic tness level and adapt future workouts against it as you improve.
1. Download the free app, named “Bowex™ Max Intelligence™ App ". The app is available on Google Play™ and the App Store.
Note: For a complete list of supported devices, review the app on the App Store or Google Play™.
2. Follow the instructions on the app to sync your device. Select the "MAX 6" machine on the app for your M5u Upgrade Kit.
The Console will activate the Bluetooth
®
synced indicator icon when a Bluetooth
®
enabled device is synced. When your device is synced, the
Console will be de-activated. The app will be used to display the workout values.
Note: If the Bluetooth
®
synced indicator icon is active and your Bluetooth
®
enabled device is not synced, the tness machine may have synced
to another Bluetooth
®
enabled device. Turn the power off to the machine, wait 5 minutes, and restart it with your smart device near the
tness machine.
If the synced indicator icon does not activate and your smart device is enabled, de-activate and re-activate the Bluetooth
®
wireless feature on
your smart device. Follow the instructions on the app. When synced, the indicator icon will activate.
When notied that there is an update to your tness machine, follow the prompts on the app. Place the device that is running the app on the Media
Tray. The app will update the software on the machine with the latest version. Do not remove your device from the Media Tray until the update is
complete. The machine will return to the Power-Up screen when the update is completed.
To break the connection from your device to the Console, simply close the app. If the connection does not break, push the PAUSE/STOP button on
the Console. This will break the connection and disconnect the device. If any buttons on the Console are pushed (besides the PAUSE/STOP button),
the Console will display, "Push Stop Button to Disconnect".
