To edit the file and reload it:

Note: You will need a UTF-8 capable editor program to open the channel-list.ini file. Such programs are available free on the internet.

1.Using the editor, open the channel_list.ini file and edit the channel names on the right side of the equal sign. Do not change the information on the left side of the equal sign, or the equal sign itself.

2.Save the file and close the editor. This prevents read or write errors to the USB drive.

3.Remove the USB drive from your computer and reinsert it into the same console you used for your initial export.

4.On the System Settings menu, touch TV Settings, then Export/Import Channel Names.

5.Touch Import from USB. The updated channel-list.ini file is loaded and the Chanel Guide displays the updated channel names.

The updated .ini file and channel configurations can be exported to a USB drive along with other equipment settings and uploaded to other P80 consoles mounted on the same type of fitness equipment.

For more information, refer to Manage Settings.

Workout Limits

The Workout Limit settings give you control over how the equipment is used. Use these settings to create reasonable limitations for equipment usage including speed, incline, resistance, and duration.

In general, fitness equipment use is based on its popularity with users, and its availability during a site’s busiest times of day. Settings to enforce time limits will help locations restrict user usage during the busiest hours to provide more access to equipment for more users.

Workout Limit settings are not associated with or saved as part of a user profile and users do not have access to them. Both administrators and service technicians have view and modify access rights.
