G COOL DOWN: Workouts end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity level. Press the COOL
DOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cool Down mode. In this phase of a workout
the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exercise, which build up in muscles dur-
ing a workout and contribute to muscle soreness. The console automatically adjusts each workouts Cool Down level
according to the individual users performance. Each time the user presses the COOL DOWN key, the Cool Down
duration shortens by one minute.
H WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent the levels
of intensity in a workout-in-progress. The higher the column, the greater the intensity.
During a FAT BURNER, CARDIO, CARDIO HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or CARDIO ENDURANCE workout, the
bike requires the use the handpulse sensors or a telemetry heart rate chest strap to detect a heart rate signal. If the con-
sole does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt, "NEED HEART RATE - GRASP SENSORS
OR CHECK TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automati-
cally is converted to a MANUAL workout. Profiles are not available for FAT BURNER, CARDIO, CARDIO HILL, CARDIO
INTERVAL, or CARDIO ENDURANCE. In these workouts, the level is based on the heart rate. Therefore, the profile can-
not be displayed.
I TIME ARROW keys: During a workout-in-progresss, use these keys to change the duration.

J WORKOUT LED INDICATORS: A set of light emitting diodes (LEDs) is matched to a set of workout statistics that are
displayed during a workout-in-progress. See the MESSAGE CENTER description above. Each LED lights up when
the corresponding statistic, such as Calories, is being displayed.
