If the Stop/Reset button is pressed twice during a workout the program will end and the console will return to the start up screen. If the Stop/Reset key is held down for 5 seconds the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop/Reset key performs a Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the Stop/Reset key. The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on you may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you decide that you want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to select the program and enter into the data-setting mode. The program keys also act as a Number Key Pad when you are in the data-setting mode. Under each program key is a number. If you are setting new data, such as Age, weight etc., you can use these keys to enter the numbers quickly. The console includes a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, flip the switch on the right side of the console case. Programming the console Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during the Heart Rate control programs to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the work settings could be too high or low for you. Entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible. A message about Calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you will continue to burn calories at about the same rate as during exercise for up to an hour after you have finished exercising! Entering/Changing Settings When you enter a program (by pressing a program key, then enter key) you have the option of entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the message window. If you start a program without changing the settings the default (pre-saved) settings will be used. The default computer settings are: Age = 35, Weight = 155 Lbs., Time = 30:00, Max Level: each program has a different maximum work level: Hill = 14, Fatburn = 10, Cardio = 14, Strength = 16, Interval = 14. NOTE: Changing Age and Weight settings will also change these settings in all other programs except the User 1&2 programs. The last Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age and Weight the first time you use the Bike you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless either your Age or Weight changes or someone else enters a different Age and Weight.
