Using the Display
How to Read the Display
There are two numbers displayed on the
monitor, one on the top and one on the bottom.
Top Number:
The top number always displays your pedal
speed, in miles per hour.
Bottom Number:
The bottom number can display Distance,
Calories or Time.
The Function Button
Press this button to change what is displayed by
the bottom number. Each time you press the
Function Button
the
Indicator
Arrow
moves
between,
TIME (total Time pedaled),
DIST (total Distance pedaled, in miles),
CAL (total Calories burned),
SCAN.
The
Indicator Arrow
points to the function that is being displayed. For example, in the picture
the
Indicator Arrow
is pointing to DIST, so the lower number displays the total distance
pedaled.
What is SCAN?
When SCAN is selected, the lower number will cycle between displaying Time, Distance and
Calories. Each will be displayed for about 6 seconds. Another
Indicator Arrow
will point to the
function (Time, Distance or Calories) that is being displayed.
How to Reset Total Time, Total Distance and Calories
Time, Distance and Calories are accumulated as you pedal. To reset these all to zero, press
and hold the
Function Button
for at least 3 seconds.
How to Turn the Display On and Off
The display turns on automatically when you pedal the bike. You can also turn the display on
by pressing the
Function Button
. You do not need to turn the display off. It will turn off
automatically a few minutes after you stop pedaling.
Are the Calories on the Display Accurate?
The Calories are most accurate if the pedal resistance is at maximum. All mini exercise bikes
(and many full-sized bikes) do not measure the power put into the bike. Measuring power is
very expensive, but it is needed for a reasonable calculation.
How to Get Accurate Calorie Counts
We’ve created a free Calorie Calculator (see the section
Free Online Calorie Calculator
) which
solves this problem. It uses your gender, height, weight, age, pedal speed and the
MagneTrainer knob setting to calculate Calories burned. It also calculates the wattage of the
bike from the resistance knob position and your pedal speed. See the section
Free Software
for more information.
