Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the Personal Data Settings for use at HOME and in a CLUB?
• HOME setting should be followed using the procedures indicated starting
on page 23. Imputing you AGE, AHR and WT will give you the most accu-
rate estimate of caloric expenditure on the bike.
• CLUB setting could either be done buy entering your own personal data as
indicated in the instructions on page 23 or by using the DEFAULT settings
within the bikes computer.
NOTE: Using the computers default setting may not accurately represent your
own caloric expenditure.
What are the Group Cycle Computers Default Settings?
When the rider does not enter their own personal data for calculation of caloric
expenditure, the computer will use its preprogrammed Default settings.
The three Default setting are: Age (AGE): 30, Ambient Heart Rate (AHR): 70
bpm, Weight (WT) Kg/lb): 70 kg (154 lbs).
What if I Do Not want other riders to know my Personal Data Settings?
Inputting your personal data is the most accurate method for calculating an esti-
mate of caloric expenditure. This information will NOT be stored and the Group
Cycle Computer will revert back to the Default setting when it turns off, 5 min-
utes after the riding session or when left alone for 5 minutes.
What is Ambient Heart Rate (AHR)?
Ambient Heart Rate (AHR) is your normal heart rate during the day when you
are going about your day-to-day activities, but not exercising. You can calculate
your AHR while you are sitting and reading a book, watching TV, working on the
computer, etc. Take your Ambient Heart Rate for 3 days to determine your
average AHR.
How does Ambient Heart Rate (AHR) differ from Resting Heart Rate
(RHR)?
Resting Heart Rate (RHR) is your heart rate when you are in a complete state
of rest. It is usually taken in the morning after awaking and before arising from
bed. Whereas Ambient Heart Rate (AHR) is your normal heart rate during the
day as you are going about your normal day-to-day activities. AHR for the gen-
eral population is generally in the 70's. World class athletes AHRs are in the
40's and 50's.
In the Heart Rate display, what does the %MHR mean and what is that
number?
The Group Cycle Computer will automatically determine your predicted Maximal
Heart Rate (MHR) when you input your personal data during the setup. The %
of MHR display indicates exercise intensity using the formula 220-age to repre-
sent 100%, and then current heart rate as a percentage of the maximum.
