Total ride distance (Can be set to miles or kilometers)
-
Total ride average power
-
Max power, RPM, and heart rate can also be displayed by pressing the AVG/MAX button twice
• In RIDE mode, without the optional power sensor installed, the console will display the following metrics:
-
RPM
-
Heart rate (If the console is paired with a compatible heart rate monitor)
-
Total ride time
-
Max RPM and heart rate can also be displayed by pressing the AVG/MAX button twice
• The console will remain in RIDE mode as long as you continue pedaling.
• If you stop pedaling, the RIDE mode will continue for 10 seconds, at which point it will go into PAUSE MODE.
• You will know the console is in PAUSE mode when the numbers start flashing on the screen.
Using the Stage Timer
• While in RIDE mode, you may use the Stage timer at any point to do timed stages (a.k.a. intervals).
• To activate the Stage timer, press and release the
button.
• When the Stage timer is activated it will do the following:
-
Measure the stage time
-
Measure the stage distance (with optional power sensor installed)
-
Measure the stage average power (with the optional power sensor installed)
• To stop timing a stage, press and release the
button.
• At this point the stage timer will stop timing and the stage metrics will be displayed until a new stage is started.
• To clear the metrics for the previous stage and begin a new stage, press and release the
button again to
begin a new stage.
Using the Light Button
• During a ride, the rider can activate the light by pressing and releasing the button.
• The light will stay on for 10 seconds, which is the default setting.
• There are multiple optional settings for the backlight that can be set in the Service menu (see the section on
Service menu operation for details):
-
Stay on for 10 seconds
-
Stay on for 15 seconds
-
Stay on for 20 seconds
-
Stay on for the entire ride
-
Stay on indefinitely by pressing and holding the button for 3-5 seconds. The light will remain on until
the rider presses and holds the button again for 3-5 seconds.
-
Light can be turned off so that riders cannot turn on the light. This is a good feature for studios that have
good illumination or that do not want riders using the backlight.
Going into PAUSE Mode
• If during the ride, you stop pedaling, and/or get off the bike, the following will happen:
• The console will enter PAUSE mode after 10 seconds.
• The numbers on the screen will flash.
• The timers will continue timing—including the Total and Stage timers—for 5 minutes. Schwinn added this
functionality to allow instructors to get off the bike and coach off the bike while trusting their timers will remain
in sync with all the riders in the room. It also allows a rider to stop for a brief point of time and begin riding
again without losing sync with the class. GOOD NEWS: While your timers continue timing, your average power
calculation will pause while you are not pedaling so that you will not get penalized for brief moments of not
pedaling.
• To exit PAUSE mode and return to RIDE mode, just begin pedaling before 5 minutes have elapsed.
