4 SETTING UP AND OPERATING THE
g•force RT
4.2 Display Console
The display console of the
g•force RT
serves two purposes: to allow you to choose the bike’s functions,
and to provide you with feedback about the progress of your current workout.
Note:
Always use a light touch when pressing keys on the console overlay. Never press the keys with any-
thing other than your fingers. Sharp objects such as ball point pens, keys or tools could damage the overlay
and are considered misuse for warranty purposes.
4.2.1 Display Console Features
Power:
Turns the display console on or off. You can start the display console by pressing the POWER
button, but the easiest way to power up the display console is to simply start pedaling.
Quick Start:
This key overrides the need to enter user data and starts a selected program with default
parameters.
Note:
This function can not be used in the Constant HR program. User data is required to establish your
target heart rate.
Stop:
This key is only effective while a DEFINED PROGRAM is running. Pressing the STOP key once will
pause the program. To restart the program where you left off, simply press ENTER. Pressing the STOP
key twice will end the program and the MESSAGE DISPLAY will show the data accumulated during your
workout. Pressing the STOP key three times will return you to the SELECT WORKOUT prompt.
Enter:
Press this key when prompted by the MESSAGE DISPLAY to enter values such as time or weight.
Pressing the ENTER key will confirm the value you have chosen and move you to the next step in setting
up your program.
Back:
Use this key to return to the previous screen on the MESSAGE DISPLAY.
+/- Keys:
These keys serve two functions. While setting up a program, the +/- KEYS are used to increase
or decrease values such as weight, or age. While a defined program is running, the +/- KEYS are used to
increase or decrease resistance.
+ Key:
While setting up a program or a profile, use this key to increase a numeric value. While a de-
fined program is running, use this key to increase the resistance level – making the workout harder.
- Key:
While setting up a program or a profile, use this key to decrease a numeric value. While a de-
fined program is running, use this key to decrease the resistance level – making the workout easier.
Note:
You can press these keys repeatedly or, simply touch and hold the key until the desired value appears
on the PROFILE DISPLAY.
Message Display:
This LCD display will guide you through the steps to set up your user profiles and the
program workouts. Simply answer the prompts that are given on the screen to start any of the eleven
DEFINED PROGRAMS.
