Quick Start - Spirit FITNESS BIKE Owner's Manual

Dot Matrix Center Display
Twenty columns of boxes (8 high) indicate each segment of a workout. The boxes only show an
approximate level (resistance) of effort. They do not necessarily indicate a specific value - only
an approximate percent to compare levels of intensity. In Manual Operation the resistance dot
matrix window will build a profile "picture" as values are changed during a workout.
The resistance profiles will display half of the program at one time (9 columns). They will both
scroll right to left. The Lap track will move in a counterclockwise direction.
1/4 Mile Track
The 1/4-mile track (one lap) will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing
segment indicates your progress. Once the 1/4-mile (Metric - 0.4k) is complete this feature will
begin again. There is a lap counter in the message window for monitoring your distance.
Pulse Grip Feature
The Pulse (Heart Rate) console window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute
during the workout. You must use both stainless steel sensors on the front cross bar or the heart
rate transmitter chest strap to display your pulse. Pulse value displays anytime the upper display
is receiving a Pulse signal. You may not use the Grip Pulse feature while in Heart Rate Programs.
Note: Refer to Important Safety Instructions (page 2) concerning Pulse Grip operation.
Calorie Display
Displays the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your workout.
Note: This is only a rough guide used for comparison of different exercise sessions, which cannot
be used for medical purposes.
Speakers
The console has built-in Speakers. You may plug an Audio Source (CD player, MP3, Computer,
etc.) into the Jack on the right side of console. There is no volume control on the console. The
volume must be controlled on the Audio Source.

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 and the
workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level Up/
Down buttons. The dot matrix display will have only the bottom row
lit at first. As you increase the work load more rows will light
indicating a harder workout. The fitness bike will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.
There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The first 5 levels are very easy
workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned
users. Levels 6-10 are more challenging, but the increases in resistance from one level to the
next remain small. Levels 11-15 start getting tough as the levels jump more dramatically. Levels
16-20 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite athletic training.
