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 just the bottom row lit. As you increase the workload
more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The fitness 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, will display the workout Profile. The Message Window displays
pertinent exercise data. There is an RPM Window for pedal speed and a Level window indicating
machine resistance. A Heart Rate data window and bar graph show how hard you are working and
a lap counter provides distance information. The Message Window will initially be displaying Watts,
Time Elapsed, Calories and Distance information. On the left of the Message Window is a button
labeled Scan. When the Scan button is pressed the next set of information will appear: METs, Time
Remaining, Calories/Hour and Speed.
