A START: Press this key, while pedaling at a predefined rate, to activate the console for programming a new
workout. The activated console lights up and displays SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START. If no
key is pressed, the console shuts down again.
NOTE: The C9i model’s AutoStart feature activates the console when the user simply begins pedaling at a
predefined rate. See the topic titled Starting Up the Bike Console, which appears in Section 1.
B ENTER: Press this key after entering each value, such as weight or workout time, when prompted by console
display messages.
C ARROW keys: When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to select a workout, use these keys to scroll
through displayed choices, including HILL, RANDOM, MANUAL, SPORT TRAINING, EZ RESISTANCE, FAT
BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, EXTREME HEART RATE, and MY
WORKOUTS 1-7. When setting up a workout, use these keys to change workout parameters displayed on the
console, such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and intensity level. During a workout,
pressing the ARROW keys changes intensity levels or target heart rate.
D QUICK START: Press this key to begin a manual workout immediately, without having to select a workout
program. Once the workout is in progress, use the ARROW KEYS to change the intensity level as desired.
E CLEAR: Press this key, when programming a workout, to clear incorrect data before pressing the ENTER key.
Pressing CLEAR during a workout stops it immediately, at which point, the MESSAGE CENTER displays a
summary of the workout, including total time elapsed, total distance traveled, and total calories burned.
Pressing CLEAR a second time causes the MESSAGE CENTER to prompt the user to set up a new workout.
F PAUSE: Press this key to pause a workout. Press this key again to resume the workout.
G COOL DOWN: Press the COOL DOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cool
Down mode. In this phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-
products of exercise, which build up in muscles during a workout and contribute to muscle soreness.
H BIKE MODE: Press this key to activate the Bike workout mode in which the resistance level, calories burned,
and total distance travelled increase automatically as the user increases the pedaling speed.
I CONSTANT CAL./HOUR: Press this key to activate this alternate workout mode, which enables a user to
maintain a consistent rate of calories burned per hour.
For more information about Bike Mode and Constant Calories Per Hour Mode, see the topic titled Selecting a
Workout Mode in Section 4.2, titled, the Using the Workouts.
J
DISPLAY LOCK: During a workout, a section of the MESSAGE CENTER alternately displays the number of
CALORIES burned and the amount of TIME elapsed. Pressing the DISPLAY LOCK key when the MESSAGE
CENTER displays either statistic, forces the MESSAGE CENTER to display that statistic continuously
throughout the workout. Pressing DISPLAY LOCK again allows the MESSAGE CENTER to resume toggling
between both statistics.
K WORKOUTS PLUS (C9i only): When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to select a workout, press this key
to select WATTS, METs, AEROBICS TRAINER, INTERVAL, AROUND THE WORLD, CASCADES, FOOT
HILLS, SPEED TRAINING, KILIMANJARO, or any of the seven MY WORKOUT programs.
L CHANGE WORKOUT (C9i only): Press this key to change workout programs during a workout (on the fly).
M WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent the
levels of intensity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the column furthest the left is proportional to the level
of the intensity. During a FAT BURN or CARDIO workout, which requires the use of a Polar
®
telemetry heart
rate chest strap or the Lifepulse sensors, the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW displays a flashing heart shape
to request the user’s heart rate signal. On the C9i, if the console does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE
CENTER displays the prompt, “NEED HEART RATE - PLACE HANDS ON SENSORS." On the C7i, if the
console does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt, “NEED HEART RATE -
CHECK TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout
automatically is converted to a MANUAL program.
