SETTING UP AND RUNNING THE PROGRAMS
The easiest way to set up and run the programs in the display console, is to simply enter data as asked
for by the MESSAGE DISPLAY. The prompts in the MESSAGE DISPLAY are simple messages that guide you
through the program set up. The following is a detailed description of the same messages that are asked
of you in the MESSAGE DISPLAY.
Select Mode:
Your
g•force RT digital allows you to choose between two di erent ways to vary the exercise resis-
tance; Exercise mode or Bike Mode. In Exercise mode the power level stays the same, regardless of your
pedal RPM. This means that the resistance will change automatically as you pedal faster or slower such
that your power output (watts) stays the same. In Bike Mode the resistance stays constant, and your
power output increases or decrease as you pedal faster or slower.
You can select either mode in the Manual, Hill, or Fat Burner programs. The Heart Rate (HR) programs are
always in Exercise Mode. The LeMond and Race programs are always in Bike Mode.
Select Level:
Choose a resistance level for your exercise; 1 through 20. The higher the level, the greater the resistance
as you pedal. The default level is 4.
Select Time
Enter in minutes how long your want your exercise program to run, from 5 to 99 minutes long. The
default time is 30 minutes.
Select RPM / Power
Some programs set the exercise goals based on pedal RPM, other use exercise power (watts). Use the +
or – keys to change the default value shown in the PROFILE DISPLAY, then press the ENTER key
Entering Weight:
Your current body weight is used to calculate your caloric expenditure. After selecting a PROGRAM,
the MESSAGE DISPLAY will prompt you to enter your weight. Use the + or – keys to change the default
weight of 180 that is shown in the PROFILE DISPLAY. When your current weight is displayed in the
PROFILE DISPLAY, press the ENTER key.
Entering Age:
Your current age is used to calculate your target heart rate. Use the + or – keys to change the default age
of 40 that is shown in the PROFILE DISPLAY. When your correct age is displayed in the PROFILE DISPLAY,
press the ENTER key.
Choosing a Target Heart Rate:
You may wish to change the target heart rate that the console calculates for you based on the age you
entered in the previous step. The console automatically generates a target heart rate that is 70% of your
