Schwinn 126 Treadmill User Manual


 
Computer Console Design
Before we discuss using the specific functions of the computer, let’s get
familiar with the display, the different features, and various buttons located
on the console.
Computer Features
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. The highest value displayed is the resistance level you are working
out in.
In addition, you will notice that there are 12 columns of these “bricks” lined
up horizontally across the bottom of the center of the display. Each Profile
Program is 50 columns or “intervals” long so each of these columns or
“intervals” represents one fiftieth of your workout time. For example, if you
enter a workout time of 25 minutes, each column or “interval” time will last
a duration of 30 seconds. Since the display shows the first 12 columns of
your workout program, as you progress through the workout, the program
will scroll to the left. The flashing “bricks” on the leftmost column let you
know where you are in your workout and other columns to the right show
the upcoming course profile.
The Manual program will display in the 12 interval columns as viewed on the
LCD screen and do not scroll as you advance through the workout.
Alphanumeric Display
Within the LCD display the computer features a “message center” that
prompts you to input specific data and values to make the bike easy to oper
-
ate and gets you to your workout quickly.
