working out in minutes and seconds (Fig. 6).
Speed — The SPEED feedback function displays your
current workout pace by calculating and averaging
your approximate miles or kilometers per hour (Fig. 7).

Distance — The DISTANCE feedback function starts
at zero and continuously counts the total number of
miles accumulated during your workout. To set a

target, stop pedaling and press the ENTER key three
times. The computer will show 0 in the CALORIES display.

When the PULSE option is used,
Pulse (optional) —
the heart icon will turn on whenever a heart beat is

computer will show the word OFF in the PULSE display.
Use the (+) and (–) keys to set the desired pulse rate
for the exercise.
If the user's actual heartbeat deviates from the selected
pulse rate by 10 or more beats per minute, the comput-
er will display "LO" or "HI" in the pulse rate display. If
the limit is turned OFF, the user's heart rate will be

displayed without regard to any limits.
Note: The PULSE function will operate only when the
optional Pulse Receiver Module is installed. This plug-in
cartridge is available in either telemetric chest strap
or ear clip versions and can be purchased from an
authorized Schwinn dealer.
