2.2CONSOLE OVERLAY DESCRIPTIONS

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:

•Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the chest strap or grasping the Lifepulse system sen- sors.

•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.

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.

C.ARROW keys: A pair of UP and DOWN arrows is located on either side of the TIME/LEVEL window. When setting up a workout, use either set of arrows to change workout parameters displayed on the console, such as length of work- out, weight, age, target heart rate, and intensity level. During a workout, pressing the ARROWS on the right (LEVEL) side of the display changes the target heart rate for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE IN- TERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE workouts or the intensity level for other workouts.

Pressing the ARROWS on the left (TIME) side increases or decreases the workout duration. Pressing the arrows on the right (LEVEL) side increases or decreases the intensity level.

Note: Whenever an arrow key is pressed during a workout, an increase (up arrow key) or decrease (down arrow key) is made to the corresponding parameter (level). The number that appears reflects that change. For example, if the user is at level 6 and presses the right up arrow key, the number 7 will appear, reflecting that the user has chosen a new level. If the change is desired, press ENTER to accept. If the change is not desired, the user has ten seconds to reset the level to the desired parameter, before the unit accepts the changed value and makes the appropriate adjust- ments.

D.NUMERIC keypad: Use these keys to enter values, such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and in- tensity level. While a workout is in progress, numeric keys can be used to set new intensity levels or change the target heart rate in the FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE and workouts. The ARROW keys have a similar function, except that they change workout parameters by sin- gle increments.

E.WORKOUT SELECTION keys: Press any of these keys to select the program identified on the given key’s label.

These programs include: FAT BURN, CARDIO, RANDOM, MANUAL, ZONE TRAINING +, PERSONAL TRAINER, and HILL PLUS.

F.QUICK START key: Press this key to begin a manual workout immediately, without having to select a workout pro- gram. Once the workout is in progress, use the ARROW keys or the NUMERIC KEYPAD to change the intensity level or workout duration as desired.

G.ENTER WEIGHT key: Press this key to enter a user weight during a workout. Use the TIME ARROW keys or the NUMERIC keypad to enter a weight value.

H.ENTER PIN key: Log on to the FitLinxx Interactive Fitness Network using a dedicated PIN Number. A FitLinxx Interac- tive Fitness Network shall be supported through the CSAFE console port connector as a CSAFE Compatible Device.
