How To Use The Airdyne Windjammer Computer - Schwinn Airdyne Windjammer Owner's Manual

HOW TO USE THE AIRDYNE
The on-board computer features multi-feedback functions and
easy-to-read LCD to keep track of your workout performance
and progress (Fig. 7). By taking a few moments to fully under-
stand the computer operation and functions, you will get more
pleasure, motivation and value from your Windjammer upper
body exerciser workouts. It's really very easy.
Remember, entering the correct elevation will enable the most
accurate display of power (WATTS). Review the Getting Started
sequence described on Page 5.
You will select either MANUAL mode or one of three other
programs - INTERVAL, PYRAMID or RACE. The INTERVAL and
PYRAMID programs provide a varied speed workout. The left, or
the Pacer sail on the boat icon, will raise to represent TARGET
WATTS. The right, or the User sail on the boat icon, will raise to
display your WATTS. The computer will also show TARGET WATTS
in the numerical display, for use as an additional pace gauge. In
the RACE program, the Pacer becomes your opponent. The
Pacer will fill up or raise one sail every two minutes; multiple
sails if the race is longer than two minutes. The goal is to fill up
the User's sail faster than the Pacer.
The Windjammer computer keeps track of a variety of feedback
functions. When the SCAN mode is on, the computer will
continuously scan through TIME, CALORIES, CALORIES/HOUR,
DISTANCE, WATTS, TARGET WATTS and RPMs. When the SCAN
mode is turned off, the computer will show the current display
continuously until SCAN is turned back on.
