K 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 to the left is proportional to the current level of the intensity.
During a FAT BURN, CARDIO HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or
EXTREME HEART RATE workout, which requires the use of a Polar heart rate chest strap,
the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a heart shape to request the user’s heart rate
signal. If the console does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt,
“NEED HEART RATE - USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the sig-
nal within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a MANUAL program.
L MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a work-
out. During a workout, it displays statistics about the progress of the workout:
•
Level: the selected intensity level; alternates with Heart Rate.
• Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the Polar heart rate chest
strap; alternates with Level.
• Distance: the total distance traveled.
• RPM (Revolutions Per Minute): the pedaling speed or rate.
• Calories: the number of calories burned since beginning the workout; alternates with
Time.
• Time: the number of time elapsed since beginning the workout; alternates with Calories.
If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays other values each time the intensity
level changes during the workout:
• Calories per Hour: the rate of calories burned per hour.
OR
• Watts: effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the
mechanical rate of work.
• METs: effort level in METs. The MET is an expression of the rate of work for the human
body at rest, or a metabolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabo-
lism of a person at rest.
See Chapter 5, titled Optional Settings for information about enabling the MESSAGE CENTER
to display these additional settings.
M BIKE MODE: Press this key to activate the Bike workout mode in which the rate of calories
burned and the total distance travelled increase automatically as the user increases the
pedaling speed.
N 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
Selecting a Workout Mode in Section 4.2, titled, the Using the Workouts.
