Console Operation
Quick Start
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start
key to begin. This will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero,
all workout data will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the
Up or Down buttons. The dot matrix display will show only the bottom row lit at first. As you
increase the workload, more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The bike will get harder to
pedal as the rows increase. The dot matrix has 24 columns of lights and each column represents 1
minute. At the end of the 24
th
column (or 24 minutes of work) the display will wrap around and start
at the first column again.
There are 40 levels of resistance displayed as 10 rows of lights - available for plenty of variety.
The first 10 levels are very easy workloads, and the changes between levels are set to a good
progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 10-20 are more challenging but the increases from
one level to the next remain small. Levels 20-30 start getting tough as the levels jump more
dramatically. Levels 30-40 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite
athletic training.
Basic information
The Dot Matrix, or Profile window, has two display modes. When you begin a program the dot
matrix will display the workout Profile. To the left of the dot matrix there is a button labeled Display.
Pressing this button once will switch the display to show a quarter mile track. If the Display button
is pressed again the dot matrix will switch back and forth between Track and Profile mode every
few seconds. To turn off the scan mode press the Display key again. This will return you to the
profile display mode. The workout profile for the preset programs are basically pictures of what the
workout looks like. During programming you can adjust the peak resistance level of the program.
What this does is sets the peak resistance that the program will hit at the very top of the profile. It
also scales the entire profile based on the peak setting so that the lower levels have the same
percentage of change in relation to the peak setting. When the program is running, you may press
the up and down buttons to change the peak setting. The rest of the program will automatically be
scaled properly, but the profile picture will not change. The message window will show two
different levels as you press the up and down buttons. The number on the left is the level of the
current column of the profile and the number on the right is the peak resistance setting for the
whole profile.
The Message Window will initially be displaying Time and Distance information. On the bottom
left of the message window is a button labeled Display. Each time this Display button is pressed
the next set of information will appear, four windows in all. In order: Time and Distance, Pulse and
Calories, Speed in RPM and MPH, Work Level and Watts. If the Display button is pressed during
the Level and Watts display the Scan light will come on and the message window will show each
set of data for four seconds then switch to the next set of data in a continuous loop. Pressing the
Display button again will bring you back to the beginning.
To the right of the Dot matrix display is a Heart Icon and a Bar Graph. The Bike has a built in
heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse sensors, or wearing the Polar
