Introduction
Your unit is equipped with a programmable
computer to help you track your progress and
motivate you to reach your fitness goals.
This computer provides different programs
designed to tailor to your fitness goals. Simply
choose the program you like, set the time limit and
begin exercising. Your computer will then show your
approximate pulse, approximate calories burned,
elapsed time, speed and distance traveled.
Functions and Features
QUICK START BUTTON: Allows you to start the
computer without selecting a program. TIME
automatically begins to count up from zero.
Use the ▲ UP and ▼ DOWN buttons to adjust
the resistance.
TIME: Shows your elapsed workout time in minutes
and seconds. Your computer will automatically
count up from 0:00 to 99:59 in one second
intervals. You may also program your computer to
count down from a set value by using the ▲ UP
and ▼ DOWN buttons. If you continue exercising
once the time has reached 0:00, the computer
will begin beeping, and reset itself to the original
time set, letting you know your workout is done.
SPEED: Displays your workout speed in miles
per hour.
DISTANCE: Displays the accumulative distance
traveled during each workout up to a maximum of
99.9 miles. The distance will be displayed in tenths
of a mile.
CALORIES (approximate): Your computer will
estimate the cumulative calories burned at any
given time during your workout. Calorie expenditure
on your computer is based on realistic expecta-
tions; however, your computer is not individually
programmable for all necessary variables to
accurately monitor actual calories burned.
The computer will count up in 0.1 increments. After
the display value reaches 999, it will reset to "0" and
begin counting from 0.1 again.
AGE: Your computer is age-programmable from
10 to 99 years when you choose Program 11 or
Program 12.
Note: This unit is not recommended for children.
The age function is only adaptable to Program 11
or Program 12.
If you do not set an age, this function will always
default to age 25.
PULSE (approximate): Your computer displays your
pulse rate in beats per minute during your workout.
Pulse sensors, located on the dual-action handle-
bars enable the user to read his/her pulse rate. By
grasping the sensors and holding firmly, the display
will read your pulse rate in the display window. Your
pulse will continue to read as long as your hands
stay on the pulse sensors.
When used properly, the heart rate pulse
sensors and display monitor provide a
reasonably accurate estimate of your actual
heart rate. This estimate is not exact and
persons with medical conditions and/or a
specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring
should not rely on the estimations provided.
