1. OPERATING YOUR BIKE 

 

The  R6X  and  V6X  bikes  have  a  Power  Switch  located  at  the  front  (R6X  model)  or  at  the  back  (V6X  Model)  besides  the 
power cord receptacle. Turning the power switch on will light up the console. If your console does not light up, it may be in 
Auto Power Off (Sleep) mode. Press the STOP key to wake the console from Sleep mode.  
 
If your bike model is a V9X or R9X (self generated type), simply press any key on the keyboard or start to pedal. The display 
will stay on for 1 minute after a key has been pressed. If an exercise is not started within that time, the console will return to 
sleep mode and all data entered will be lost. If the console still does not light up, refer to section 6.2. 

 

The V6X-V9X-R6X-R9X bikes are built with an LCD (liquid crystal display) computer display monitor. The control functions, 
the  programs  and  the  features  have  been  designed  with  you  in  mind,  to  offer  the  best  possible  exercise  by  displaying 
important and clear information regarding your exercise progress. For the best exercise results, please, familiarize yourself 
with the functions of the display and each program. 
 

 

1.1.  GETTING TO KNOW THE COMPUTER DISPLAY MONITOR 

 

1.1.1. V6X-V9X-R6X-R9X 

 
The computer display monitor features a main screen comprising of a 20 x 13 dots central matrix to display exercise profiles 
and information windows that show the parameters of the exercise under way.

 

Refer to the glossary in section 1.1.2 to find 

information about the 

V6X-V9X-R6X-R9X

 console; MAIN KEYPAD, PROFILE DISPLAY, QUICK PROGRAM KEYS, STATS
