GETTING STARTED
The "startup banner screen" appears on the display after you press the START key
or the QUICK START key, or if you start pedaling (over 30 RPM). The startup banner
shows the message "SPORTSARTC520." Once the startup banner appears, there
are two ways to start your workout. Press either QUICK START or START.
The QUICK START key allows you to begin exercising immediately without first
setting up a user ID. Using the QUICK START key is a quick and convenient way to
start exercising, but it does not convey information, such as your own age and weight,
to the display. Consequently, target heart rate and calorie count values shown
through QUICK START will not be as accurate as those shown after entering user
information.
To start exercising via QUICK START, when the startup banner appears, press the
QUICK START key. QUICK START mode uses the default assumption of a 35-year-
old, 165-lb/75-kg user to calculate calorie count and target heart rate values. Time
counts upward. Resistance starts at level one and can be adjusted during exercise.
Other characteristics of the QUICK START mode include the following:
Exercise programs can be activated through QUICK START. While exercising,
simply press EXERCISE PROGRAM keys or the ZONE TRAINER key to do so.
Time counts upward. Resistance can be adjusted at any time.
When no one pedals on the bike, the message "PEDAL TO START" will scroll
across the display every four seconds, after which the start up banner screen will
appear.
If no one pedals after 15 seconds, an energy saving mode is activated. In energy
saving mode, all LEDs extinguish except for the feedback window which shows the
following:
These lines remain lit for two minutes unless you pedal over 30 RPM. If no one
pedals for two minutes, the display automatically shuts off.
Use the START key to take advantage of user age and weight in providing more
accurate calorie count and target heart rates. Up to four user IDs can be stored in
memory and workout time, distance, and calorie expenditure values accumulate for
each user.
