  • Page 7 Echelon2 Features and Functionality The Echelon2 provides riders with real-time user metrics that can be used to improve the current and future workouts. Watts, time, kcal, distance, RPMs, speed, distance, and heartrate are displayed on an intuitive display that allows for ease of use during high intensity rides.
  • Page 8 118” (3 m) during Workout Mode. If you have a compatible paired ANT+ Sport Watch and ANT+ HRM, the console links with the Sport Watch and reads the heart rate data from it, if the watch is compatible. The Schwinn console uses the ANT+ Fitness Profile. Visit www.thisisant.com for a directory of compatible devices •...

  • Page 9: Heart Rate

    Power The power display field shows the Power in Watts that you are producing at the current resistance level (1 horsepower = 746 Watts). Power data only shows if there is a power sensor installed on the bike. The RPM display field shows the current pedal revolutions per minute (RPM). Heart Rate The Heart Rate display field shows the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the heart rate monitor (HRM).

  • Page 10: Battery Level

    Please consult with your physician prior to engaging in any strenuous physical activity. Schwinn does not warranty the heart rate system performance on this product, as the heart rate system performance various based on a user’s physiology, fitness level, age, method of use, and other factors.

  • Page 11: Pause Mode
