FUNCTIONS
Target HR
This program allows you to set a target heart rate and the machine will automatically adjust the work
load to safely reach the target and maintain that target.
Use the Up/Down keys to select the Target HR program and press Enter. The display will show a
number and the age icon at top will be blinking. Use the Up/Down keys to adjust the age and press
Enter. The display will now show a blinking percent number or the letters THR.
You may use the Up/Down keys to choose either 55%, 75%, 90% or THR. The percentage choices
will automatically set the target to a percent of your maximum heart rate, based on your age. This is
why it is important to adjust the age properly. The console will use a formula to determine the correct
percentage: 220 – age = maximum HR. For example a 30 year old persons’ Max HR is 190 BPM
(220 – 30 = 190 BPM). If the 30 year old wants to work at 75%, their target HR will be 142BPM.
If you want to choose to work at 75% - for example - then use the Up/Down arrows to highlight 75%
and press Enter. Now the Time window will be blinking and you can program it and other data the
same as other programs. If you want to set your own custom Target HR then use the Up/Down arrow
to highlight THR and press Enter. The Pulse window will now be blinking. Use the Up/Down arrows
to set your own Target HR and press Enter to continue.
Recovery
Used to measure how fast your heart rate (HR) recovers from exercise. The faster your HR returns to
normal from exercise level, the better aerobic shape you are in. Pressing the recovery button will start
a 60 second count down. Hold the hand pulse sensors and do not exercise during the count down. At
the end of the 60 seconds a score will be displayed ranging from F1 to F6 with F1 being the highest
score and F6 being the lowest.
FUNCTIONS
TIME:
Count up: accumulates training time from zero to 99:59.
Count down: counts down from preset time to zero.
SPEED/ RPM:
Automatically toggles between SPEED and RPM every 6 seconds. Speed is in
miles per hour (or kilometers per hour)
DISTANCE:
Count up: accumulates training distance from 0.00 to 99.99 miles.
Count down: counts down from preset distance to zero.
CALORIES:
Accumulates calories burned from 0 to 9999. This is an estimated number only to
be used from workout to workout to compare your progress. Actual calorie burn
cannot be measured accurately on any consumer exercise equipment because
every individual burns calories at a different rate.
WATTS:
Indicates the amount of work being done in Watts.
PULSE:
Displays your current heart rate when you grasp the hand sensors or wear the
chest strap transmitter.
LEVEL:
Shown next to the workout profile. Indicates the level of work being done from 1
to 16.
