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.
