DISPLAY DIAGRAM 1 4 5 6 3 2 7 8 9 10 11 12 Number Display Description 1 Message Banner Displays text messages indicating the current mode or menu option. Examples: WARM UP, STAGE #, RESULTS, RIDE. 2 AVG Displays the average values for the current stage or the entire ride. 3 MAX In the RESULTS mode and the RIDE mode, displays the maximum values. 4 WATTS* Displays power output in watts—instantaneous, average, and maximum.
DISPLAY DEFINITIONS WARM UP RIDE The console has a WARM UP mode designed to allow a user to adjust the exercise bike, to warm up, and to prepare for an actual ride. In a studio cycling class, users can use this mode to warm up before the class begins. During the ride, a user can press the AVG/END button to select the RIDE mode and view data for the entire ride. While the RIDE mode is selected, the console will show the time and distance for the entire ride.
KJ (KILOJOULES) First, the kilojoules value is converted to the kilocalories equivalent (4.186 kilojoules = 1 kilocalorie). Then, this value is divided by the standard assumption of human mechanical efficiency (22 percent). The result is the approximate amount of food energy used. IMPORTANT: The console will measure kilojoules if it is used with the power sensor. If the console is used with the RPM sensor, the console will not measure kilojoules.
SPEED DISTANCE The console will measure and show the user’s pedaling speed in miles per hour (MPH) or kilometers per hour (KMH). Note: The unit of measurement can be changed in the SETTINGS mode. The console will measure and show the distance traveled in miles (MI) or kilometers (KM). Note: The unit of measurement can be changed in the SETTINGS mode.

HOW TO USE THE STAGE MODE The STAGE mode is designed to allow you to divide your ride into specific elements that can be tracked and analyzed. For example, you can divide the high-intensity and low-intensity portions of an interval ride into separate stages. You can also save the data for each stage to a USB drive (see step 3 on page 12). 1. Activate the console. See HOW TO ACTIVATE THE CONSOLE on page 11. 2. Set up the console if desired. 6. Follow your progress with the displays.
HOW TO USE THE RIDE MODE The time and distance displays will show the elapsed time for the entire ride and the distance for the entire ride. The left displays will show the maximum values achieved for the ride and the right displays will show the average values for the ride. 1. Select the STAGE mode. See steps 1 to 4 on page 14 and select the STAGE mode. Note: When the RIDE mode is selected, you can still press the STAGE button to enter a new stage. 2. Select the RIDE mode. 4.
HOW TO USE THE AUTO PAUSE MODE HOW TO USE THE AUTO PAUSE OFF MODE The console has an Auto Pause mode that allows you to stop your ride temporarily and then resume your ride without affecting the average value data shown and saved by the console.
