LMESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a work- out. When a workout is in progress, it displays statistics about the progress of the workout, as seen below:

Time: time elapsed since the start of the workout.

Level: programmed intensity level.

Floors/Minute: rate of floors climbed per minute.

Calories: number of calories burned since beginning the workout; based on a calcula- tion involving the entered weight of the user and the step rate. If the user does not enter weight during the workout setup, the computer does not make this calculation.

Heart Rate: detected heart rate if the user is gripping the Lifepulse System Sensors or wearing the chest strap.

Floors Climbed: number of floors climbed since the start of the workout, based on a calculation involving the step rate.

The MESSAGE CENTER also can be programmed to display any of the following three values each time the intensity level changes during the workout. See Section 5, titled Optional Settings, for more information.

Calories per Hour: 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, or a metabolic 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.
