M. 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
level of the intensity. During a Heart Rate Zone Training workout (FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL,
HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE), which requires the use of the Lifepulse sensors
(R9i only) or a Polar telemetry heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW displays a flashing
heart shape to request the user’s heart rate signal. On the R9i, if the console does not detect a signal, the
MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt, “NEED HEART RATE – PLACE HANDS ON SENSORS OR CHECK
TELEMETRY STRAP.” On the R7i, if the console does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays
the prompt, “NEED HEART RATE – CHECK TELEMETRY STRAP”. If the console does not receive the signal
within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a MANUAL program. Profiles are not available
for Heart Rate Zone Training programs. In these workouts, the level is based on the heart rate. Therefore, the
profile cannot be displayed.
N. MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a workout. During a
workout, it displays statistics about the progress of the workout:
•
Level: the programmed intensity level. It is displayed continuously unless the heart rate is being measured,
in which case, Heart Rate is displayed.
•
Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is grasping the Lifepulse sensors (R9i only) or wearing the
chest strap. If the heart rate is not being measured during a workout, then Level is displayed instead.
•
Distance: the total distance traveled.
•
RPM (Revolutions Per Minute): the pedaling speed or rate.
•
Calories: the number of calories burned since the beginning of the workout, alternates with Time.
•
Time: the time elapsed since the beginning of the workout; alternates with Calories.
If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER briefly 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 metabolism of a person at rest.
See Chapter 5, titled Internal Settings for information about enabling the MESSAGE CENTER to display
these additional settings.
