The Stop key button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop key once during a program
will pause 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, this is a
great feature. To resume your workout during Pause just press the Start key or start pedaling. If
the Stop key is pressed twice during a workout, the program will end and the console will return
to the start-up screen. If the Stop key button is held down for 3 seconds, the console will perform
a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop key performs a Previous Screen
function. This allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the Stop
key button.
The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on, you
may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that
you want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to
select the program and enter into the data set-up mode.
NUMBER KEY PAD
When you are in the data set-up mode setting new data such as age, weight etc., you can use
these keys to enter the numbers quickly.
The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, press the key on the
upper right side of the console. This is a 3-speed fan and each time you press the key the airflow
will increase accordingly. After the third setting the fan will turn off when the key is pressed again.
PROGRAMMING THE CONSOLE
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit
your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct.
You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age ensures that the Heart Rate bar
graph shows the correct number. Your Age is also necessary during the Heart Rate control
program to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work
settings could be too high or low for you; entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct
Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as
possible.
NOTE ON CALORIES VALUE: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in
a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor
your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a
clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is different and burns
calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn calories at an accelerated
rate for at least an hour after you have finished exercising!
