Quick Start
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start
key to begin. This will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero,
all workout data will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the
Up and Down buttons. The dot matrix display will show a ¼ mile track display or just the bottom
row lit at first, depending on how the display button has been set (see Basic information below). As
you increase the workload more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The bike will get harder
to pedal as the rows increase. The dot matrix has 24 columns of lights and each column
represents 1 minute. At the end of the 24th column (or 24 minutes of work) the display will wrap
around and start at the first column again.
There are 40 levels of resistance displayed as 10 rows of lights - available for plenty of variety.
The first 10 levels are very easy workloads, and the changes between levels are set to a good
progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 10-20 are more challenging but the increases from
one level to the next remain small. Levels 20-30 start getting tough as the levels jump more
dramatically. Levels 30-40 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite
athletic training.
Basic information
The Dot Matrix, or Profile Window, has two display modes. When you begin a program the dot
matrix will display the workout Profile. To the left of the dot matrix there is a button labeled Display.
Pressing this button once will switch the display to show a quarter mile track. If the Display button
is pressed again the dot matrix will switch back and forth between Track and Profile mode every
few seconds. To turn off the scan mode press the Display key again. This will return you to the
profile display mode.
The Message Window will initially be displaying Time and Distance information. On the bottom
left of the message window is a button labeled Display. Each time this Display button is pressed
the next set of information will appear, four windows in all. In order: Time and Distance, Pulse and
Kcal (Calories), Speed in RPM and MPH, Work Level and Watts, then METs. If the Display button
is pressed during the METs display the Scan light will come on and the message window will show
each set of data for four seconds then switch to the next set of data in a continuous loop. Pressing
the Display button again will bring you back to the beginning.
Below the Dot matrix display is a Heart Icon and a Bar Graph.The Bike has a built in heart rate
monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors, or wearing a heart rate chest belt
transmitter, will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Message Window
will display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute. The Bar Graph represents the
percentage of your maximum heart rate you are currently achieving. NOTE: You must enter your
age during program setup for the Bar Graph to be accurate. Refer to Heart Rate section for details
about these features and how they can help you work out more efficiently.
The Stop/Reset button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset key once during a
program willPause the program for 5 minutes (when you stop pedaling without AC power the
display will turn off but the memory will be saved for 5 minutes just like the pause mode). If you
need to get a drink, answer the phone, or any of the many things that could interrupt your workout,
