Getting Started:

This computer will store user profiles for 4 different users. This will allow the goals to be
set by a specific user. They will remain the default goals for that users next exercise session.

Resistance Control
At any time during a workout, you can control the resistance of the bike by using the UP

Manual Mode
You have two options in the MANUAL mode. For “quick start,” simply press the ST/STOP
button and your workout will begin. Any “goals” set for the previous workout will be in
effect. You can control the resistance with the UP and DOWN arrow buttons.
The second option for MANUAL is to set a “goal”. When you press ENTER, to select MANUAL,
the resistance LEVEL bar will flash across the bottom of the screen. Select the LEVEL (1 – 16)
using the UP and DOWN arrows, then press ENTER. Next, the TIME display will flash. If you
wish to set a TIME goal, you can do so using the UP and DOWN arrows, or if you wish to set
a DISTANCE or CALORIE goal, just continue to press the ENTER button.
Next the WATTS display will flash. You can set the WATTS for the workout, or skip to PULSE
by pressing ENTER. See more on WATTS under “Special Instructions” below. By setting a
PULSE goal, a tone will sound once that Heart Rate is reached or exceeded.
Press the ST/STOP key to start your workout.
Selecting a program
There are 12 preset programs that offer you a variety of workout options. To select a
program, use the UP and DOWN arrows to highlight the PROGRAM icon. Once this Icon is
flashing, press the ENTER button. This will prompt you to select the program (P1 – P12).
You will be prompted with a P1. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to select the desired
profile. At this point you can press the ST/STOP button to start your workout or you can
set LEVEL or a goal as described above.
User Defined program
This allows you to create your own custom program. Press the UP and DOWN buttons to
select the USER icon. Press the ENTER key to select the program.
You will need to build this program for the first time. The first column of profile will be

Setting “goals” Once you select a workout program, you can set “goals” for
either TIME, DISTANCE, or CALORIES. For instance, if you set a CALORIE goal of
100, once you start the program, you will notice that the CALORIE display will
count down from 100 to 0.
We recommend that you set only one goal (TIME or DISTANCE or CALORIES,) for
each exercise. Note, if no goals are set (TIME, DISTANCE, and CALORIES) and are
all set to 0, all of these values will count up, once the START button is pressed.
During your exercise, when a goal is reached, that display will flash, signaling
that your workout is complete.
