ESCRIPTIONS
A. 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 first column on the left side of the window is proportional to the
current level of intensity.
During a
FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL,
or
EXTREME HEART RATE
work-
out, which requires the use of a Polar
®
telemetry heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors, the WORK-
OUT PROFILE window displays a flashing 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 - PLACE HANDS ON SENSORS
OR USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automati-
cally is converted to a
MANUAL
program.
B. MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a workout. During a workout, it dis-
plays statistics about the progress of the workout:
•
Level:
programmed intensity level. Toggles with Heart Rate.
•
Heart Rate:
the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap or grasping
the Lifepulse system sensors.
•
Distance:
the total distance traveled in miles (or kilometers if enabled).
•
Speed:
the pedaling speed or rate in miles per hour (or kilometers per hour if enabled).
•
Calories:
the number of calories burned since beginning the workout. Toggles with Time.
•
Time:
time elapsed since the start of the workout. Toggles with Calories.
If configured to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays any or all of these three values each time the intensity level
changes during the workout:
•
Calories per Hour:
the rate of calories burned per hour.
•
Watts:
effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the mechanical rate of work.
•
METs:
effort level in METs. The MET is an expression of the rate of work for the human body at rest, or a meta-
bolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at rest.
Note:
The Watts display and the Calories per Hour display cannot be turned on at the same time.
See Section 5 for information about enabling the MESSAGE CENTER to display these additional settings.
C. ARROW keys: Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to change workout parameters displayed on the console, such
as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and intensity level. Pressing these keys during a
FAT BURN
,
CARDIO
,
HEART RATE HILL
,
HEART RATE INTERVAL
, or
EXTREME HEART RATE
workout increases or de-
creases the target heart rate.
D. CLEAR key: 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 MESSAGE 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.
E. DISPLAY LOCK: During a workout, the MESSAGE CENTER alternately displays the number of CALORIES burned
and the amount of TIME elapsed. Pressing the DISPLAY LOCK key when the MESSAGE CENTER displays either
statistic, 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.

G. COOL DOWN key: Workout programs end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity level.
Press the COOL DOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cool Down mode. In this
phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exercise, which build
up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle soreness. The console automatically adjusts each workout’s
Cool Down level according to the individual user’s performance.
