Heart Rate Monitor
The console receives heart rate data from the heart rate monitor (HRM).
The console can read heart rate data from an ANT+ 2.4GHz or Polar® compatible 5kHz wireless chest strap.
• ANT+ 2.4GHz Wireless: The ANT+ 2.4GHz Wireless Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) sends heart rate data to the console
after proximity linking automatically occurs after console startup. The console can read the HRM data to a dis-
tance of 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
• Standard EM 5kHz Pulse: The console uses the EM (electromagnetic) 5kHz pulse wireless protocol to read heart
rate data from the standard heart rate monitors (HRMs), such as a Polar® transmitter chest strap.
Workout Data Storage
The console sends workout data to the user's data storage device -- for example, a USB flash memory device or a sport
watch.
• ANT+ Sport Watch for Data Storage: During Workout Mode the console sends workout data to the ANT+ Sport
Watch. When the proximity linking is complete, the watch and console can send and read data up to 118" (3 m).

• USB Interface / Data Storage: During Workout Mode the console sends workout data to the USB device:
• Workout (total) -- Time, Distance, Calories, Power, RPM, Avg Power, Max Power, Avg
• Workout Stages -- Time, Distance, Avg Power, Max Power, MAX RPM. Consoles with firmware V1.1
and later will also report AVG and MAX heart rate for each stage.
NOTE: If you connect the USB device after the workout ends, the console only sends the Total Summary data to
the USB device. Workout Data is stored as a .csv file with the name MPOWERXX.csv, where XX is the two-digit
number from 1 to 99. The console will automatically save using the next available number on the USB device if
files are already present.
The USB port also gives access to update the console firmware by a Service Technician. There is a USB symbol that will
flash next to the RPM when the console is uploading data to the USB stick. The stick must remain in the plug as long as
the USB symbol flashes. Once the symbol stops flashing, the stick can be removed.
