This prepares the on-board console for operation during your workout. When you start
paddling, the console starts running automatically. If you’ve selected “Meter” in the top
window, and you stop paddling, the console display will pause. However, if you have
selected “Time,” the clock continues running, even if you’ve stopped paddling.
After the “Rdy” button has been pushed, you can still change certain console settings.
These are controlled through the “DSP” (Display) button. This affects the second
“window” from the top. See below.
The “500m/Watts/Kcals” Window (the “second” window from the top):
This window is immediately below the “Time/Meter” window. It “toggles” between three
settings.
The first (500m) provides a sense of your pace on a 500 meter course.
The second setting (Watts) shows average of watts generated per stroke.
The third setting (Kcals) provides a indication of the number of calories burned
per hour at your pace
.
The Bottom Left Display Window:
Your heart rate will be displayed here. In order for the heart rate to be monitored, you
must have plugged the 1/8” male jack coming from the middle of the frame into the
“HRT” jack on the back of the console. You must also wear a KayakPro Heart rate chest
belt transmitter or a Polar Heart Rate transmitter – Please note – only Polar Un-coded
models will function.
The Bottom Right Display Window:
This displays your lane selection (required when using the I-race or e-monitor
software), To change the lane, turn the console on. BEFORE hitting the “RDY” button,
press “DSP.” The lane selection will flash. To set it, press “SET” to go up or “DIG” to go
down. When your lane is displayed, hit the “RDY” button. In order to use either i-race or
E- Monitor software you will be required to input an entry between 1 and 9.
