D

Program Profile Window

PROGRAM PROFILE WINDOW: Displays a matrix of lights showing the present position and upcoming terrain. The higher the column of lights the greater the resistance. The left- most column of lights represent the current position. The remaining columns show the upcoming terrain. As the workout progresses, the lights move across the screen from right to left. When at the Program Select stage, graphical depictions of each program appear in the Program Profile Window as that program’s LED is lit.

In the Fat Burn and Cardio programs, a heart shape ( ) will be displayed in the window; this is your prompt to grasp the Lifepulse sensors (if so equipped) so that the on-board computer can obtain your heart rate. When your heart rate has been read, the heart will disappear and you may remove your hands. If you have a telemetry equipped model and are not wearing an optional heart rate monitor chest strap or it is not detected, the heart will flash (the exercise bike will switch to the Manual program at half the selected level if no heart rate is detected during the first three minutes of the warm-up). A flashing heart will also appear at the conclusion of the Fit Test if you are not wearing a heart rate monitor chest strap.

SPEED WINDOW: The Lifecycle exercise bike can display speed in revolutions per minute (RPMs) or miles or kilometers per hour (MPH / KPH) when in the Race mode. In the Hill, Random and Manual programs, you may switch in and out of the Race mode whenever you wish. When in the Race mode, the Speed Window will toggle between RPMs and MPH or KPH every five seconds.

Feedback Window

FEEDBACK WINDOW: Displays the number of calories burned per hour, total distance traveled (in miles or kilometers), total calories, or Watts or METS if you have selected one of these options. The readout automatically displays these forms of feedback in 10-second intervals, except when in the Hill program for a duration of less than six minutes when it changes every five seconds.
