BASIC INFORMATION
The Dot Matrix Message Center, or Profile Window, will display the workout Profile. The LED Data Display
Window displays pertinent exercise data. There is a RPM window for pedal speed and a Level window
indicating machine resistance.
The LED Data Display Windows will initially be displaying Distance, Calories, Pulse and Time Elapsed
information. When the Up/Down Scan key is pressed the next set of information will appear: Speed, Watts,
METs, Time Remaining. Pressing the Up/Down Scan button, the Scan mode is activated and the LED Data
Display Window will show each set of data for four seconds then switch to the next set of data in a
continuous loop. Pressing the Up/Down Scan button again will bring you back to the beginning.
The Stop key button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program will
pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone, or any of the many things
that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout during Pause just press
the Start key. If the Stop key is pressed twice during a workout, the program will end and the console will
return to the start-up screen. If the Stop key button is held down for 3 seconds, the console will perform a
complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop key performs a Previous Screen function. This
allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the Stop key button.
The Program Key is used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on, you may press
Program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you want to try a program,
press the Enter key to select the program and enter into the data set-up mode.
PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs.
Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for
your Age and Weight. Your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate control program to ensure the correct
settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be too high or low for you;
entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an
exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.
CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home,
are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress from
workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected
to a host of machines. This is because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some
good news is that you will continue to burn calories at an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you
have finished exercising!
ENTERING & CHANGING SETTINGS
When you enter a program, you have the option of entering your own personal settings. If you want to work
out without entering new settings, then just press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data
and take you directly to the start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings, then just
follow the instructions in the Dot Matrix Message Center. If you start a program without changing the
settings, the default, or pre-saved settings will be used.
