Computer Features n LCD Display The large LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen located in the center of the console is your information center. This display is divided into sections that provide information about your workout and any preset information you may have input into the computer. The display provides a large main window that indicates the PROGRAM selection and RESISTANCE LEVEL. The smaller windows across the bottom show INTERVAL TIME and TIME, RPM and WATTS, DISTANCE, and HEART (PULSE) RATE. The next larger window on the right side of the display shows SPEED and CALORIES, ENGLISH or METRIC operating mode, and the CYCLIST ICON with spinning wheels relative to your SPEED. The icon also indicates that the program is running. The large main area of the display shows the program profile you are using. Within this profile are "bricks", or rectangles, that are stacked vertically and indicate the relative resistance level and course profile. The computer is capable of offering 16 different levels of resistance. One "brick" represents the lowest level and eight "bricks" represent the highest level. You can view the level you are exercising in by referencing the Level numbers displayed on the left and right side of the "brick" display. Levels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15 display on the left side and Levels 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 display on the right.
