2.2 CONSOLE OVERLAY DESCRIPTIONS
A. WORKOUT PROFILE window: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent the levels of
intensity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the first column on the left side of the window is proportional to the
current level of intensity.
During a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME HEART RATE work-
out, which requires the use of a Polar
®
telemetry heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system sensors, the WORK-
OUT PROFILE window displays a flashing heart shape to request the user’s heart rate signal. If the console does not
detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt “NEED HEART RATE - PLACE HANDS ON SENSORS
OR USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout automati-
cally is converted to a MANUAL program.
B. MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a workout. During a workout, it dis-
plays statistics about the progress of the workout:
• Level: the programmed intensity level. It is displayed continuously unless the heart rate is being measured, in
which case, Heart Rate is displayed.
• Heart Rate:the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the chest strap or grasping the Lifepulse system sen-
sors. If the heart rate is not being measured during a workout, then Level is displayed instead.
• Distance:the total distance traveled in miles (or kilometers if enabled).
• RPM (Revolutions per Minute):the pedaling speed or rate.
• Calories:the number of calories burned since beginning the workout, alternates with Time.
• Time: the time elapsed since the beginning of the workout; alternates with Calories.
If configured to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays other values each time the intensity level changes during the
workout:
• Calories per Hour:the rate of calories burned per hour.
OR
• Watts: effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the mechanical rate of work.
• METs: effort level in METs. The MET is an expression of the rate of work for the human body at rest, or a meta-
bolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at rest.
C. DISPLAY LOCK: During a workout, the MESSAGE CENTER alternately displays TIME and CALORIES. Pressing the
DISPLAY LOCK key when the MESSAGE CENTER displays one of these statistics forces the MESSAGE CENTER to
display that statistic throughout the workout. Pressing DISPLAY LOCK again allows the MESSAGE CENTER to re-
sume toggling between both statistics.
D. WORKOUTS PLUS: When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to select a workout, press this key to select WATTS
(when enabled), METs (when enabled), LIFE FITNESS FIT TEST, MILITARY FIT TEST (when enabled), AEROBICS
TRAINER, INTERVAL, AROUND THE WORLD, CASCADES, FOOTHILLS, SPEED TRAINING, or KILIMANJARO
programs.
E. CHANGE WORKOUTS: Press this key to change workout programs during a workout (on the fly).
F. BIKE MODE: Press this key to activate the Bike workout mode in which the rate of calories burned and total distance
traveled increase automatically as the user increases the pedaling speed.
G. ARROW keys: When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to select a workout, use these keys to scroll through dis-
played choices. When setting up a workout, use these keys to change workout parameters displayed on the console,
such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and intensity level. During a workout, pressing the ARROW
keys changes intensity levels or target heart rate.
H. CONSTANT CAL./HOUR: Press this key to activate this alternate workout mode, which enables a user to maintain a
consistent rate of calories burned per hour.
I. ENTER key: Press this key to confirm entries of workout setup values, as displayed in the MESSAGE CENTER.
J. QUICK START key: Press this key to begin a manual workout immediately, without having to select a workout pro-
gram. Once the workout is in progress, use the ARROW keys to change the intensity level or workout duration as de-
sired.
