LCD Display Data RESULTS TIME SPEED DISTANCE RPM KCAL LEVEL HR Program Display The Program Display shows the name of the program selection and the grid area shows the course profile for the program. Each column in the profile shows one interval (workout segment). The higher the column, the higher the resistance level for that interval. The flashing column shows your current interval. Time The TIME display field shows the time count in the workout. If no preset time is set up for the current workout program, the display value starts at zero and counts forward until the end of the workout. Maximum time is 99:59. If the workout has a preset time, the display starts at the preset value and counts down to zero. The display shows the total time count for the workout. Speed / Distance The SPEED/DISTANCE display field shows the machine speed in kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph) for 6 seconds, then the Distance for 6 seconds. The Distance display shows the distance count (miles or km) in the workout. Note: To change the measurement units to English Imperial or metric, refer to the "Console Setup Mode" section in this manual. RPM / KCAL (Calories) The RPM/KCAL display field shows the machine revolutions per minute (RPM) for 6 seconds, then the KCAL display shows the estimated calories that you have burned during the exercise for 6 seconds. Level / HR (Heart Rate) The LEVEL/HR display field shows the current resistance level (1-16) for 6 seconds, then your Heart Rate for 6 seconds. The HR display shows the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the Contact Heart Rate sensors. Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest, become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or measured by the machine's computer for reference purposes only. Contact Heart Rate Sensors Contact Heart Rate (CHR) sensors send your heart rate signals to the Console. The CHR sensors are the stainless steel parts of the Handlebars. To use, put your hands comfortably around the sensors. Be sure that your hands touch both the top and the bottom of the sensors. Hold firm, but not too tight or loose. Both hands must make contact with the sensors for the Console to detect a pulse. After the Console detects four stable pulse signals, your initial pulse rate will be shown. Once the Console has your initial heart rate, do not move or shift your hands for 10 to 15 seconds. The Console will now validate the heart rate. Many factors influence the ability of the sensors to detect your heart rate signal: • Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with pulse detection. Slight hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference. • Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength. • Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors. 20
