Basic Information

The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name. When in scan mode during a program,
speed will be displayed for 4 seconds, afterwards Watts (indication of workload) are displayed. The
display then switches to Laps completed, Segment time, Max level. Pressing the Enter key again will
bring you back to the beginning.
The Stop key actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program will pause
the program for 5 minutes. 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 display your workout
summary (Total time, Avg. Speed, Avg. Watts, Avg. HR, total Laps). If the Stop key is held down for 3
seconds or pressed a third time during the program, the console will perform a complete Reset. During
data entry for a program the Stop key performs a previous screen or segment function. This allows you to
go back to change programming data.
Program Keys
The program keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you may press
each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you want to try a
program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to select the program and
enter into the data-setting mode.
The device has a built-in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors on the
stationary handle bars or wearing the heart rate transmitter (see respective chapter) will start the heart
icon flashing (this may take a few seconds). The pulse display window will display your heart rate in beats
per minute.
The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, press the key on the left side
of the console.
Muscle Activation Profile
There is an anatomical figure located at the top of the console. This figure will light all areas that are
activated when using the device. You can control which muscles are activated by customizing the
resistance profile during the set up phase of console programming. If you accept the default program
profile, the selected program will determine which muscles will be activated by automatically adjusting the
resistance. Generally pay attention to the following:
•
The upper body LED's will light up any time your hands aren't in contact with the pulse grip
sensors
•
The lower body lights will be activated in three degrees of engagement: Green represents minimal
muscle involvement, amber represents medium involvement and red represents full activation.
•
These are the different scenarios for lower body muscle activation:
Forward pedal rotation Gluteals & Quadriceps are Amber; Hamstrings & Calves are Green
Reverse pedal rotation Calves, Hamstrings, and Quadriceps are Amber; Gluteals are Green
Heart Rate % Profile
The LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a pulse signal is detected. The bar
graph, located to the right of the LCD screen, displays a graphical representation of your heart rate as a
percentage of your maximum heart rate. When you enter your age during programming, the console will
calculate your maximum heart rate then light up the graph to show the percent of maximum heart rate
you are currently achieving.
The bar graph colors are assigned as follows:
• 50 - 60% of maximum heart rate: Amber
• 65 - 80% of maximum heart rate: Amber and green
• 85 - >90% of maximum heart rate: Amber, green and red
