This section lists and describes the functions for the keys and display windows on the Lifecycle
recumbent bike console. See Section 4, titled
The Workouts
, for detailed information on using the
console to set up workouts.
A
START: Press this key (while pedaling on the 90R) to activate the console for programming a new work-
out. The activated console lights up and displays “SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR
PRESS QUICK START”.
NOTE:
The bike’s AutoStart feature also activates the console when the user steps on the pedals.
See the topic titled Starting Up the Bike Console, which appears in Section 1.
B
ENTER: Press this key after entering each value, such as weight or workout time, when prompted by
console display messages.
C
ARROW keys: Use these keys, when setting up a workout, to select a workout and to change workout
parameters displayed on the console, such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and inten-
sity level. During a workout, press, these keys to change intensity levels.
D
QUICK START: Press this key to begin a manual workout immediately, without having to select a workout
program. Once the workout is in progress, use the ARROW keys to change the intensity level or workout
duration as desired.
E
CLEAR: Press this key, when programming a workout, to clear incorrect data, such as weight or age, before
pressing the ENTER key. Pressing CLEAR during a workout stops it immediately, at which point, the MES-
SAGE CENTER displays a summary of the workout, including total time elapsed, total distance traveled, and
total calories burned. Pressing CLEAR a second time causes the MESSAGE CENTER to prompt the user for
a new workout setup.
F
WORKOUTS PLUS (93R only): Press this key during the workout setup to select
WATTS
,
METS
,
AEROBICS TRAINER
, or one of the six pre-configured hill workouts, such as
KILIMANJARO, FIT TEST,
AND MILITARY FITNESS TEST
.
G PAUSE: Press this key to pause the current workout. Continue the workout by pressing the
PAUSE key again. For more information, see the topic titled Pausing a Workout in Section 4.2,
titled Using the Workouts.
H
DISPLAY LOCK : During a workout, one section of the MESSAGE CENTER alternately displays the num-
ber of CALORIES burned and the amount of TIME elapsed. Pressing the DISPLAY LOCK key when the
MESSAGE CENTER displays one of the alternate statistics, forces the MESSAGE CENTER to display
that statistic continuously throughout the workout. Pressing DISPLAY LOCK again allows the MESSAGE
CENTER to resume toggling between both statistics in each pair.
I
CHANGE WORKOUT (93R only): Press this key to switch to another workout program while a
workout is in progress.
J
COOL DOWN: Workout programs end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity level.
In this phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exer-
cise, which build up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle soreness. Press the COOL DOWN
key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cool Down mode. The console automatically
adjusts each workout’s Cool Down level according to the individual user’s performance.
K
WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent
the levels of intensity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the column
furthest to the left is proportional to the current level of the intensity.
During a
FAT BURN
,
CARDIO HEART RATE HILL
,
HEART RATE INTERVAL
, or
EXTREME HEART
RATE
workout, which requires the use of a Polar heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE win-
dow displays a heart shape to request the user’s heart rate signal. If the console does not detect a signal,
the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt, “NEED HEART RATE - USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the
console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a
MANUAL
program.
