Schwinn 117P Owner'S Manual Download Page 5

The Schwinn 117p/217p computer features 12 different performance
feedback functions that enable you to quickly and efficiently review your
workout performance and progress.  The large, easy-to-read, LCD display
and full size buttons make reading the data display and operation easy,
even at high levels of workout intensity.   

The following outlines the many features incorporated into the 
117p/217p computer:

■ 

TIME

The TIME feedback function is displayed automatically when pressing any
of the display buttons or by simply beginning to pedal to turn the unit on.
The TIME function can be customized to either count up from 0:00 to let
you know how long you have been working out or the function can be
programmed to count down from a specific user defined workout
duration.  In the Workout Count Down Mode, the TIME function can be
adjusted in 1 minute increments ranging from 99:00 to 1:00.  In this mode,
the Rapid Advance feature enables you to quickly set the workout time by
holding down the + or – button until the desired workout time is reached.
The TIME function displays time in minutes and seconds. 

■ 

DISTANCE

The DISTANCE feedback function is customizable to calculate distance in
either Metric (Kilometers) or English (Miles) units of measurement.  Either
mode starts at 0 and continuously calculates the total distance
accumulated during the workout.

■ 

ODOMETER

The ODOMETER feedback function is re-settable to enable you to track
your cumulative workout mileage (or kilometers) throughout your pre-
determined workout program. You can track your mileage (or kilometers)
daily, weekly, monthly, etc. To reset the ODOMETER , when the computer  is
in the “ODOMETER”, mode simultaneously press the (+) and (-) keys. This
will set the function    to zero.

■ 

CALORIES

The CALORIES feedback function calculates and displays the approximate
total calories burned since the beginning of the current workout session.

■

The CALORIES PER HOUR feedback function calculates and displays the
approximate number of calories you would burn in one hour at the
current level of workout intensity.
