the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from
zero and the workload and the resistance may be adjusted
manually by pressing the Up or Down buttons. The dot matrix
display will be showing a track with a blinking dot indicating your
progress as it travels around the track.
BASIC INFORMATION(Optional)
The

will initially be displaying the

scroll through the three displays showing each for 4 seconds. The icon associated with each

If the

. During
data entry for a program the

function. This allows you
to go back one step in the programming each time you press the

There
is an
Audio In Jack
(
) on the front of the console and built-in speakers. You may plug any
low-level audio source signal into this port. Audio sources include MP3, iPod, portable radio, CD
player or even a TV or computer audio signal. There is also a
Headphone Jack
(
)for private
listening.
DOT MATRIX CENTER DISPLAY
The fitness bike has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the
Contact Heart
Rate Sensors
on the handle bars or wearing a chest strap transmitter (sold separately) will start
the heart (see Heart Rate Programs) Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The
Pulse
Window
will display your heart rate in beats per minute and the HR bar graph will show your
current % in relation to projected heart rate maximum. The chest strap is a more accurate and
reliable method of heart rate reading. The hand pulse sensors are subject to false readings
depending on user physiology and workout habits including how one grips the sensors or how
sweaty their hands are.
Because of the generator system, the console will shut off if there isn’t any movement at the
flywheel. If you are in a program and have to stop pedaling, your information will be saved for up
to 5 minutes. When you resume pedaling, the program will continue at that point and data will
continue to accumulate from where you left off. If more than 5 minutes has elapsed, the console
will return to the start up screen and all data from that workout will be lost.
The
Stop
button actually has several functions. Pressing the
Stop
key once during a program will
Pause
the program. If the
Stop
button is pressed twice during a workout the program will end and a
Workout Summary
is displayed. If the
Stop
key is held down for 3 seconds the console will
perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the
Stop
key performs a Previous
Screen function. This allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the
Stop
key.
