ADJUSTMENT AND OPERATION
DESCRIPTION OF THE MONITOR
The monitor offers five modes to provide you with
instant exercise feedback:
• Time—Displays
the length of
time you have
exercised. Note:
If you stop exer-
cising for ten
seconds or
longer, the time
mode will pause
until you
resume.
• Reps/Min—Displays your repetitions per minute.
• Reps—Displays the total number of repetitions you
have completed, up to 3999. The display will then
reset to zero and continue counting.
• Calories—Displays the approximate number of
Calories you have burned.
• Scan—Displays all of the above modes, for approxi-
mately 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
