Quick Start
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key to
begin. This will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero, all workout
data will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level Up and Down
buttons. The Dot Matrix Message Center display will show just the bottom row lit. As you increase the
workload more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The bike will get harder to pedal as the rows
increase. The Dot Matrix Message Center has 24 columns of lights and each column represents 1 minute.
At the end of the 24th column (or 24 minutes of work) the display will wrap around and start at the first
column again.
There are 40 levels of resistance – displayed as 10 rows of lights – available for plenty of variety. The first
10 levels are very easy workloads, and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for
de-conditioned users. Levels 10-20 are more challenging but the increases from one level to the next
remain small. Levels 20-30 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels 30-40 are
extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.
1/4 MILE / 0.4 KM TRACK
The 1/4-mile track (0.4 km) will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing dot indicates your
progress. In the center of the track there is a lap counter for reference.
HEART RATE WINDOW
The Pulse (Heart Rate) window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute during the workout.
You must use both left and right stainless steel sensors to pick up your pulse. Pulse values are displayed
anytime the computer is receiving a Grip Pulse signal. You may use the Grip Pulse feature while in Heart
Rate Control. The bike will also pick up wireless heart rate transmitters that are Polar compatible, including
coded transmissions.
