Getting Started
The first step to operate the computer is to set-up the calendar mode, which is only
displayed in the sleep mode. The sleep mode will be turned on if the unit has not been
used for four minutes, or if no RPM’s have been recorded. When the computer is first
plugged in to a power source the computer will activate and all of the numbers associated
with the computer will briefly flash. The calendar setting will be the first adjustment that
needs to be changed. The year will be shown in the upper right hand corner. Use the
center dial to change the year, and then press the center dial inward to select next
function. Repeat the same steps for month, day, and time. The time will be a 24 hour clock
or military time. Once all of the information is entered, the computer will be selected to
manual mode (Man.). If the computer is left inactive, it will divert to sleep mode, where the
temperature, time, and calendar will be shown. If the time or date needs to be adjusted
unplug power source or remove batteries and re-insert power sources to enter into this
mode. Note: There is no way to adjust a brightness of the sleep mode as the purpose for
the sleep mode is to save energy and to act as a quick guide for time and temperature.
ENTER
The enter button is used to select an entry; for example, if the computer flashed (MAN.) for
manual mode and the enter button was pressed, it would select the manual mode (MAN.) and
the load/watt would flash asking if the resistance wanted to be changed. If no resistance is
added and the enter button is pressed it would go to the next value which is time distance,
calories, pulse, load watt, and time. The center dial can also be used as an enter button.
RESET
The reset button is used to cycle back to the last function. If the reset button is held down for 4
seconds, the computer will beep and will completely reset going back to the original start-up
window. An example of how the reset button works is if the manual mode (MAN.) is selected
with the enter button and this function is not desired, by pressing the reset once it will eliminate
this function and then it will return to the last menu or function.
RECOVERY
The recovery program is designed to evaluate a user’s fitness immediately after a
workout. The computer must be provided a pulse from the hand pulse sensors. If the
hand pulse sensors are used, they must be held firmly during the 60 second countdown
while it evaluates your pulse. When the 60 seconds are finished, a F1, F2… to F6 result will
be displayed. The primary purpose for this function is to be used as a guide to assist with
evaluated levels of heart recovery. The healthier or more athletic a person, the sooner
the heart will go back to resting rate, which will result in a lower score. The less athletic,
the longer it will take the heart to reach resting rate. The recovery button is not a cool
down program and is only designed to help evaluate a user’s heart recovery.
How to use the recovery function:
1)
Once a workout is completed, stop working out immediately.
2)
Press the recovery button.
3)
The computer will need a signal from the heart rate contacts.
4)
Once the time has counted down, a result will be displayed. When finished
using this function, press recovery button to exit.
