Introduction
Your unit is equipped with a programmable
computer to help you track your progress and
motivate you to reach your fitness goals.
This computer provides different programs designed to
tailor to your fitness goals. Simply choose the program
you like, set the time limit and begin exercising. Your
monitor will then show your approximate pulse,
approximate calories burned, elapsed time, speed
and distance traveled.
Functions and Features
QUICK START BUTTON:
Allows you to start the computer
without selecting a program. TIME automatically
begins to count up from zero. Use the
▲
UP and
▼
DOWN buttons to adjust the resistance.
TIME:
Shows your elapsed workout time in minutes
and seconds. Your computer will automatically count
up from 0:00 to 99:59 in one second intervals. You may
also program your computer to count down from a
set value by using the
▲
UP and
▼
DOWN buttons. If
you continue exercising once the time has reached
0:00, the computer will begin beeping, and reset itself
to the original time set, letting you know your
workout is done.
SPEED:
Displays your workout speed in miles per hour.
DISTANCE:
Displays the accumulative distance
traveled during each workout up to a maximum
of 99.9 miles. The distance will be displayed in tenths
of a mile.
CALORIES (approximate):
Your computer will
estimate the cumulative calories burned at any given
time during your workout. Calorie expenditure on your
computer is based on realistic expectations; however,
your computer is not individually programmable for all
necessary variables to accurately monitor actual
calories burned.
The computer will count up in 0.1 increments. After the
display value reaches 999, it will reset to “0” and begin
counting from 0.1 again.
AGE:
Your computer is age-programmable from
10 to 99 years when you choose all programs
except Program 8. When using Program 8 you will
set Target Heart Rate instead of Age.
Note:
This unit is not recommended for children.
If you do not set an age, this function will always
default to age 30.
PULSE (approximate):
Your computer displays your
pulse rate in beats per minute during your workout.
Pulse sensors, located on the Rear Handlebars
enable the user to read his/her pulse rate. By
grasping the sensors and holding firmly, the display
will read your pulse rate in the display window. Your
pulse will continue to read as long as your hands
stay on the pulse sensors. See Heart Rate Chest
Strap and Receiver section on page 13.
When used properly, the heart rate pulse
sensors and display monitor provide a
reasonably accurate estimate of your actual
heart rate. This estimate is not exact and
persons with medical conditions and/or a
specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring
should not rely on the estimations provided.
