TURNING THE 

COMPUTER ON AND OFF

SWITCH ON

The computer remains in deep sleep mode while the flywheel is not moving. To switch the 

computer from standby mode to operational mode, simply perform one full revolution with 

the pedal. After approx. 5 seconds, the computer is then switched on and the display activated.

If the computer will not switch on after one complete revolution of the pedals, this could mean 

the battery is empty. In order to charge the battery or to activate the computer, you must pedal 

the bike with a cadence > 50 RPM.

You can find further INSTRUCTIONS on a battery low status in this manual.

SWITCH OFF

The computer is automatically switched off if the wheel is not moving. The switch off period is 

extended if the console is operated or if you switch to pause mode.

• 

The console is automatically switched off after two minutes if it is not operated and  

 

the flywheel is not moving.

• 

The switch off time lasts for 10 minutes if it is in pause mode and the flywheel is not  

 moving.

• 

Each time a button is pressed, the switch off time is reset to the time interval entered  

 here.

COACH BY COLOR® TRAINING CONCEPT

The 5 color zones used by ICG (white, blue, green, yellow, red) can be used based on the power 

(watts) of every user of the bike. The training zones are based on the current power in relation 

to the individual FTW (Functional Threshold WattRate®) value. The same principle of calculating 

training zones applies when using the maximum heart rate (HR max) and an analogue POLAR®-

compatible chest belt. As soon as the max HR or the individual FTW value are known, the 

personal training zones can be worked out accordingly and in doing so the intensity can be 

displayed by the colors during the training session based on the heart rate or watts.

Using the FTW power test (ramp test integrated into the computer), the user has the option to 

monitor both current performance and progress.

CAUTION

The power test should only be carried out under the supervision and guidance of a qualified 

Instructor or Trainer.
