COMPUTER INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Your bike 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 pulse, approximate calories burned, elapsed time, speed and distance traveled.

IMPORTANT: Always consult with your physician before beginning any exercise program. If you are taking medication which may affect your heart rate, a physician's advise is abso- lutely essential.

WARNING: The batteries must be installed as instructed in this manual. Do not carry batteries loosely, such as in a purse or pocket. The batteries may explode or leak and cause injury if installed improperly, misused, disposed of in a fire or recharged.

FUNCTIONS and FEATURES:

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 counting at the programmed time setting. Example: If your time setting was 30 minutes and the computer has reached 0:00, the computer will stop tracking time after four seconds of inactivity and will continue once you resume exercising.

SPEED: Displays your workout speed in miles per hour.

DISTANCE: Displays the cumulative distance traveled during each workout up to a maximum of 99.9 miles. The distance will be displayed in hundredths of a mile until you reach 10 miles. Then distance will be displayed in tenths of a mile. Example: 00.00-9.99 miles, then 10.0-99.9 miles.

CALORIES: 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.

AGE: Your computer is age-programmable from 16 to 99 years when you choose program 11 or program 12. The default age is 25 years.

PULSE: Your computer displays your pulse rate in beats per minute during your workout. After your workout, the computer will display your average heart rate covering your entire exercise session.

Pulse handgrips, located on the handlebars enable the user to read his/her pulse rate. By grasping the grips and holding firmly the display will read your pulse rate in the display window. This can be read at any time in any program.
