Feedback Displays:  

These displays show you physiological information such as heart rate and the 

calories you are expending, as well as physical information such as the time you have spent working out 
& the number of miles you have traveled in your living room.

•  [TIME/INTERVAL]—switches between time left on the program and time left in the specifi c program 

segment in the dedicated display above the button

•  [HR/DISTANCE]—switches between HR and DISTANCE in the dedicated display above the button.

Note:

  The heart rate function of the g•force RT is intended only for use as an exercise aide. Various factors 

can aff ect the accuracy of your heart rate reading.  The heart rate function of the g•force RT should not 
be considered or used as a medical devise.

•  [LEVEL/RPM]—switches between RPM and LEVEL in the dedicated LED display above the button.

•  [KCAL/WATTS]—switches between KCAL and WATTS in the dedicated LED displays above the button.

Note:

  The WATT is a measurement of workload. It is aff ected by both resistance and pedal speed.  Increased 

resistance and increased pedal rate increases the WATTS expended. This information can be used to 
evaluate your fi tness progress over time.

•  Wrong Battery Message:  The g•force RT uses rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.  If the user installs alkaline 

AA batteries by mistake, the power button will not turn on and a “wrong battery” message will be 
displayed if the bike is pedaled.

Note: 

The use of alkaline batteries will void the warranty, damage the electronics and potentially be a fi re 
hazard.

User Port:

  Your 

g•force RT digital

 is equipped with a USB port on the side of the console, near the 

power button.  When a USB Flash Drive is installed into this port, the console will be able to download 
your workout data for future reference.

Note: 

Pull back, but do not remove the USB Port cover to access the USB port.

Defi ned Programs:  

A variety of workouts that allow you to keep your exercise program varied and 

interesting, including some of Greg LeMond’s favorite workouts, located in the LEMOND TRAINING 
program group.
