• RPM and WAT TS, 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 motion indicator relative to your SPEED.
The icon also indicates that the program is running. The large
main area of the display shows the program profi le you are
using. Within this profi le are “bricks,” or rectangles, that are
stacked vertically and indicate the relative resistance level and
course profi le. 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
your exercise level 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 at which you are working out.
In addition, you will notice there are 12 columns of these
“bricks” lined up horizontally across the bottom of the display
center. Each profi le program is 50 columns or “intervals” long,
so each of these columns or “intervals” represents one-fi ftieth
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 fi rst 12
columns of your workout program as you progress through
the workout, the program will scroll to the left. The fl ashing
“bricks” on the left-most column let you know where you
are in your workout, and other columns to the right show the
upcoming course profi le.
The manual, heart rate control, custom, and time trial
programs will display in the 12-interval columns, as viewed
on the LCD screen, and do not scroll as you advance through
the workout.
