OPERATING THE
ELECTRONICS
11
Introduction
Your unit is equipped with a programmable
computer to help you track your progress and
motivate you to reach your fitness goals.
This computer provides different programs
designed to tailor to your fitness goals. Simply
choose the program you like, set the time limit and
begin exercising - your computer will then show your
pulse, approximate calories burned, elapsed time,
speed and distance traveled.
Functions and Features
QUICK START BUTTON: Allows you to start the
console without selecting a program. TIME
automatically begins to count up from zero.
Use the
▲ UP and ▼ DOWN buttons to adjust
the resistance.
TIME: Shows your elapsed workout time in minutes
and seconds. Your computer will automatically
count up from 0:00 to 99:59 in one second
intervals. You may also program your computer to
count down from a set value by using the
▲ UP
and ▼ DOWN buttons. If you continue exercising
once the time has reached 0:00, the computer
will begin beeping, and reset itself to the original
time set, letting you know your workout is done.
SPEED: Displays your workout speed in miles
per hour.
DISTANCE: Displays the accumulative distance
traveled during each workout up to a maximum of
99.9 miles. The distance will be displayed in tenths
of a mile.
CALORIES (approximate): Your computer will
estimate the cumulative calories burned at any
given time during your workout. Calorie expenditure
on your computer is based on realistic expectations;
however, your computer is not individually
programmable for all necessary variables to
accurately monitor actual calories burned.
The computer will count up in 0.1 increments. After
the display value reaches 999, it will reset to “0” and
begin counting from 0.1 again.
AGE: Your computer is age-programmable from
10 to 99 years when you choose Program 11 or
Program 12.
Note: This unit is not recommended for children.
The age function is only adaptable to Program 11
or Program 12.
If you do not set an age, this function will always
default to age 25.
PULSE: Your computer displays your pulse rate in
beats per minute during your workout.
Pulse sensors, located on the handlebars enable
the user to read his/her pulse rate. By grasping the
sensors and holding firmly, the display will read your
pulse rate in the display window. Your pulse will
continue to read as long as your hands stay on
the pulse sensors.
When used properly, the heart rate pulse
sensors and display monitor provide a
reasonably accurate estimate of your actual
heart rate. This estimate is not exact and
persons with medical conditions and/or a
specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring
should not rely on the estimations provided.
WARNING
The batteries must be installed as instructed
on page 8. Do not carry batteries loosely,
such as in a purse or pocket. The batteries
may explode or leak and cause injury if
installed improperly, misused, disposed
of in a fire or recharged.
