Introduction
Your unit is equipped with a programmable
computer to help you track your progress and
motivate you to reach your fitness goals.
This computer provides different programs designed
to tailor to your fitness goals. Simply choose the
program you like, set the time limit and begin
exercising.Your monitor will then show your
approximate pulse, approximate calories burned,
elapsed time, speed and distance traveled.
Functions and Features
TIME: Shows your elapsed workout time in minutes
and seconds. Your computer will automatically count
up from 0:00 to 99:59 in one second intervals. You may
also program your computer to count down from a
set value by using the UP and DOWN buttons. If
you continue exercising once the time has reached
0:00, the computer will begin beeping, and reset itself
to the original time set, letting you know your
workout is done.
SPEED: Displays your workout speed in miles per hour.
DISTANCE: Displays the accumulative distance
traveled during each workout up to a maximum
of 99.9 miles. The distance will be displayed in tenths
of a mile.
CALORIES (approximate): Your computer will estimate
the cumulative calories burned at any given time
during your workout. Calorie expenditure on your
computer is based on realistic expectations; however,
your computer is not individually programmable for
all necessary variables to accurately monitor actual
calories burned.
The computer will count up in 0.1 increments. After the
display value reaches 999, it will reset to “0” and begin
counting from 0.1 again.
AGE: Your computer is age-programmable from
1 to 99 years when you choose Program 11 or
Program 12. The default age is 25 years.
Note: This unit is not recommended for children.
If you do not set an age, this function will always
default to age 30.
PULSE (approximate): Your computer displays your
pulse rate in beats per minute during your workout.
Pulse sensors, located on the Rear Handlebar
enable the user to read his/her pulse rate. By
grasping the sensors and holding firmly, the display
will read your pulse rate in the display window. Your
pulse will continue to read as long as your hands
stay on the pulse sensors.
When used properly, the heart rate pulse
sensors and display monitor provide a
reasonably accurate estimate of your actual
heart rate. This estimate is not exact and
persons with medical conditions and/or a
specific need for accurate heart rate monitoring
should not rely on the estimations provided.

Graphic LCD Display Description and
Function (LARGE window)
This system offers 12 programs that you can
preset the workout time and will divide the

for over 2 seconds. This will clear any other
chosen function.
STEP 2 – Next press the UP or DOWN button

UP or the DOWN button. To PAUSE your
exercising program, press the STOP button, then
to resume press the START button.
Programs 11 and 12:
These unique programs allow the monitor to adjust
the workout resistance according to your heart rate
automatically. Grasp the pulse sensors and hold
with a firm grip. If the current Heart Rate is greater
than the Target Heart Rate, the computer will
decrease the workout resistance automatically. If
your current Heart Rate is less than your Target
Heart Rate it will increase your resistance. By the
resistance changing, the machine will be able
to keep your heart rate at its target beats
per minute.
When used properly, the heart rate pulse
sensors and display monitor provide a reason-
ably accurate estimate of your actual heart
rate. This estimate is not exact and persons with
medical conditions and/or a specific need for
accurate heart rate monitoring should not rely
on the estimations provided.
Important: You must keep your hands on the
pulse sensors throughout the entire workout
when using Programs 11 and 12.
