This section lists and describes the functions for the keys and display windows on the Lifecycle
recumbent bike console. See Section 4, titled The Workouts, for detailed information on using
the console to set up workouts.
A START: Press this key while pedaling to activate the console for programming a new work-
out. The activated console lights up and displays “SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW
KEYS OR PRESS QUICK START”.
NOTE: The AutoStart feature on the 9100 activates the console when the user begins pedaling
at a predefined rate. See the topic titled Starting Up the Bike Console 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: Use these keys, when setting up a workout, to select a workout and to
change workout parameters displayed on the console, such as length of workout, weight,
age, target heart rate, and intensity level. During a workout, press, these keys to change
intensity levels.
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 or workout duration as desired.
E CLEAR: Press this key, when programming a workout, to clear incorrect data, such as weight or
age, 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 caus-
es the MESSAGE CENTER to prompt the user for a new workout setup.
F WORKOUTS PLUS (9100 only): Press this key during the workout setup to select WATTS,
METS, AEROBICS TRAINER, or one of the six pre-configured hill workouts, such as
KILIMANJARO.
G PAUSE: Press this key to pause the current workout. Continue the workout by pressing the
PAUSE key again. For more information, see the topic titled Pausing a Workout in Section
4.2, titled Using the Workouts.
H DISPLAY LOCK : During a workout, one section of the MESSAGE CENTER alternately dis-
plays the number of CALORIES burned and the amount of TIME elapsed. Pressing the DIS-
PLAY LOCK key when the MESSAGE CENTER displays one of the alternate statistics,
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 in each pair.
I CHANGE WORKOUT (9100 only): Press this key to switch to another workout program
while a workout is in progress.
J COOL DOWN: Workout programs end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the
intensity level. In this phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accu-
mulated by-products of exercise, which build up in muscles during a workout and contribute to
muscle soreness. Press the COOL DOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go
immediately into Cool Down mode. The console automatically adjusts each workout’s Cool
Down level according to the individual user’s performance.
