PROGRAM PROFILE WINDOW: Displays a matrix of lights showing the present position
and upcoming terrain. The higher the column of lights the greater the resistance. The left-
most column of lights represent the current position. The remaining columns show the
upcoming terrain. As the workout progresses, the lights move across the screen from right
to left. When at the Program Select stage, graphical depictions of each program appear in
the Program Profile Window as that program’s LED is lit.
In the Fat Burn and Cardio programs, a heart shape ( ) will be displayed in the window; this
is your prompt to grasp the Lifepulse sensors (if so equipped) so that the on-board computer
can obtain your heart rate. When your heart rate has been read, the heart will disappear and
you may remove your hands. If you have a telemetry equipped model and are not wearing an
optional heart rate monitor chest strap or it is not detected, the heart will flash (the exercise bike
will switch to the Manual program at half the selected level if no heart rate is detected during
the first three minutes of the warm-up). A flashing heart will also appear at the conclusion of the
Fit Test if you are not wearing a heart rate monitor chest strap.
SUMMARY INSTRUCTIONS: An abbreviated version of the steps required to begin a
workout on the Lifecycle exercise bike. This is a summary of the information presented in
greater detail throughout this manual.
SPEED WINDOW: The Lifecycle exercise bike can display speed in revolutions per minute
(RPMs) or miles or kilometers per hour (MPH / KPH) when in the Race mode. In the Hill,
Random and Manual programs, you may switch in and out of the Race mode whenever you
wish. When in the Race mode, the Speed Window will toggle between RPMs and MPH or
KPH every five seconds.
FEEDBACK WINDOW: Displays the number of calories burned per hour, total distance
traveled (in miles or kilometers), total calories, or Watts or METS if you have selected one
of these options. The readout automatically displays these forms of feedback in 10-second
intervals, except when in the Hill program for a duration of less than six minutes when it
changes every five seconds.
