Console Operation

Quick Start

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key to
begin. This will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero, all
workout data will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Up or
Down buttons. The dot matrix display will show only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the
workload, more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The bike will get harder to pedal as the
rows increase. The dot matrix has 24 columns of lights and each column represents 1 minute. At the
th
end of the 24 column (or 24 minutes of work) the display will wrap around and start at the first
column again.
There are 40 levels of resistance – displayed as 10 rows of lights - available for plenty of variety. The
first 10 levels are very easy workloads, and the changes between levels are set to a good
progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 10-20 are more challenging but the increases from one
level to the next remain small. Levels 20-30 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically.
Levels 30-40 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.
Basic information
The Dot Matrix, or Profile window, has two display modes. When you begin a program the dot
matrix will display the workout Profile. To the left of the dot matrix there is a button labeled Display.
Pressing this button once will switch the display to show a quarter mile track. If the Display button is
pressed again the dot matrix will switch back and forth between Track and Profile mode every few
seconds. To turn off the scan mode press the Display key again. This will return you to the profile
display mode. The workout profile for the preset programs are basically pictures of what the workout
looks like. During programming you can adjust the peak resistance level of the program. What this
does is sets the peak resistance that the program will hit at the very top of the profile. It also scales
the entire profile based on the peak setting so that the lower levels have the same percentage of
change in relation to the peak setting. When the program is running, you may press the up and down
buttons to change the peak setting. The rest of the program will automatically be scaled properly, but
the profile picture will not change. The message window will show two different levels as you press
the up and down buttons. The number on the left is the level of the current column of the profile and
the number on the right is the peak resistance setting for the whole profile.
The Message Window will initially be displaying Time and Distance information. On the bottom left of
the message window is a button labeled Display. Each time this Display button is pressed the next
set of information will appear, four windows in all. In order: Time and Distance, Pulse and Calories,
Speed in RPM and MPH, Work Level and Watts. If the Display button is pressed during the Level and
Watts display the Scan light will come on and the message window will show each set of data for four
seconds then switch to the next set of data in a continuous loop. Pressing the Display button again
will bring you back to the beginning.
To the right of the Dot matrix display is a Heart Icon and a Bar Graph. The Bike has a built in heart
rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors, or wearing the Polar
chest strap heart rate transmitter, will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds).
The Message Window will display your heart rate, or Pulse, in beats per minute. The Bar Graph
represents the percentage of your maximum heart rate you are currently achieving. NOTE: You must
enter your age for the Bar Graph to be accurate. Refer to Heart Rate section for details about these
features and how they can help you work out more efficiently.
