DATA ENTRY ZONE: Allows information pertinent to the program selected to be entered.
PROGRAM SELECT: This is where to select the workout program. Each time
you press the PROGRAM SELECT key, an LED light will move from left to right
to the next program option. When the program you want is displayed press
ENTER or wait 10 seconds and your choice will be automatically entered.
START: Activates the display console once you begin pedaling and is then

This key will also put your workout program on hold or restart it. To put a workout
on hold, press the key once and continue pedaling (remember, pedaling powers
the machine; if you stop pedaling, all power is lost and the display will go blank).
Pedal resistance drops to the minimum when the Lifecycle exercise bike is
paused and the stopwatch function is activated and the elapsed time window
begins counting up from zero. Use this as a brief rest period if you feel fatigued
or to take your heart rate. Resume the workout by pressing ENTER once, or end
the workout by pressing CLEAR/PAUSE twice.
NUMERIC KEYS: Use these keys to enter riding time, level of difficulty and
Heart Rate or Fit Test data. You can select a workout duration of anywhere from
1 to 99
† minutes. You also enter a different resistance level than your current
level, a different target heart rate for the Fat Burn and Cardio programs, or Fit
Test data such as age, gender or weight via the numeric keypad.
WATTS (0) and METS (8): This key allows you to view your workout results in
Watts or METS. (For more information on Watts and METS please see Watts /
METS Programmability Option.)
† 60 minutes is the factory setting for the Maximum Program Duration. To increase or decrease the Maximum Program
Duration see the Optional Settings for the Lifecycle exercise bike section.
