TARTING P THE
When a user begins pedaling on the Lifecycle exercise bike, the unit's Auto-Start feature powers up the console, causing
the console display to light up and the MESSAGE CENTER to flash a prompt: "SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK
START." If the user does not make a selection in 20 seconds, the console automatically starts a MANUAL workout. For
information on setting up a workout, see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts. If the user stops pedaling for more than 15
seconds, the console shuts down.
Alternately, the user may begin pedaling at a predetermined rate and press the START key to power up the console.

The Lifecycle exercise bike's optional Power Assist feature makes it possible for the console to be powered by an exter-
nal electrical source, eliminating the need to pedal at a minimum speed to supply constant power to the console. With
this option, users who wish to ride the bike for rehabilitative exercise may pedal at a rate below the minimum without los-
ing console power.
Enabling the Power Assist option requires an optional kit. To order the kit, contact Life Fitness Customer Service. See
section 6.5, titled How to Obtain Product Service, for more information.
The power connector is located in front of the rear stabilizer bar, in the shroud opening, on the underside of the bike.

ITNESS AND NTERTAINMENT
Two interchangeable network ports allow the Lifecycle exercise bike to be connected to a fitness entertainment system
and/or a network, such as FitLinxx
• Fitness network: The network connection enables the console to upload user workout statistics to a fitness net-
work database or to download remotely stored information, such a pre-set workout program. See Section 4.2,
titled Using the Workouts, for information on logging onto a network.
• Entertainment: The network connection enables the console to power a third-party receiver for use with a ser-
vice such as the Cardio Theater
These ports are located on the back of the bike console and are enclosed by a removable cover. Any use of the ports for
other than their intended purpose could void the product warranty.
