BACKLIGHT SENSOR While the computer is awake, the backlight sensor automatically detects ambient light levels in the
room and turns on the backlight display when needed.
RPM (CADENCE) The RPM displays the revolutions per minute of the crank arm. This is your stride rate, also referred to as
the cadence of a runner.
POWER AND ENERGY The power output is displayed in Watts (currently generating) and Kilocalories (total value for the
workout). The computer toggles back and forth between Watts for eight seconds and Kilocalories for two seconds. The rated
accuracy for power between 30 and 160 rpm is ±5 Watts for Power below 50 Watts, and ±10% for power above 50 Watts.
HEART RATE If there is no Heart Rate signal, a steady heart symbol and a zero will be displayed. If a participant is wearing a
Heart Rate strap, once the computer locks onto the signal, the heart symbol will blink and display the heart rate. Please note
that the Heart Rate strap must be POLAR
®
compatible and coded.
ELAPSED TIME The number shown reports the total workout time spent and will reset to zero after 60 seconds of inactivity
or if the computer is reset using the gear shifter.
GEAR Gears from 1 to 24 are displayed on the bottom left hand of the screen.
ODOMETER/TRIP DISTANCE When the computer is activated, the Odometer “ODO” will display the distance accrual of the
Strider Elliptical for the rst eight seconds. This feature is for service and maintenance purposes only. After approximately
eight seconds:
• M5i — The Odometer “ODO” will disappear to display the Trip units for two seconds (“USA” = Miles, “EURO” = Kilometers),
followed by the Trip Distance for the remainder of the workout (Note: To change the Trip units, follow the instructions
within the “Bluetooth
®
smart” procedure on page 18).
• M5 — The Odometer “ODO” will disappear and the Trip Distance will display for the remainder of the workout. On the M5,
Trip is a calculated distance value (flat road run) based on power production.

M5i and M5 Models
WORKOUT DATA
To view averages: RPM, Power, and Heart Rate at any point in the workout, stop your stride for three seconds. This will ash
your averages until you start striding again or until the computer goes to sleep after 60 seconds.
M5i Model
INTERVAL TRAINING
To initiate an interval, starting from a high gear drop the shifter handle to “GEAR 1” for 1/4 of a second and lift it up to a higher
gear immediately. “inL #” will display conrming the interval has started.
Repeat the above steps to end the interval (“inL End” will display) and the averages for that interval will blink.
Note: The averages displayed at the end of your workout when striding has stopped are inclusive of all striding times and
intervals that have taken place during your workout.
Bluetooth
®
smart ENABLED
The Bluetooth
®
smart enabled computer allows Bluetooth
®
smart Ready devices such as cellphones, tablets, and computers to
gather information about your workout. M5i compatible apps allow data to be stored to track progress over time and make
the data available to other tness applications. Classrooms are able to utilize real time performance tracking programs which
give the entire class an opportunity to see their performance compared with other participants in the class.
Note: To receive and download workout information from your M5i, a Machine ID number is required, which identies your
M5i for individual or group Bluetooth discovery. The Machine ID number is viewable within the rst eight seconds (displayed
as “bid” and followed by any number 1 to 150, see Figure 10). To assign a Machine ID to your M5i, see “Bluetooth
®
smart”
procedure on page 18.
