5.2 RUN TIME PROGRAM SCREENS DESCRIPTIONS
STARTING 3.2.1 SCREEN
This screen is the countdown screen for starting a program.
DOT MATRIX Countdown text STARTING “3…2…1” is displayed in the dot matrix. A beep
is produced for every change in count. The belt will start moving a few seconds after the “1”

the un-used in red and the current segment blinks in amber. Every _ mile the current mileage
is displayed on the dot matrix and the segment that the _ mile change took place remains
solid amber.
RUN TIME SCREEN – LEVEL BASED PROGRAMS (INTERVAL, ROLLING INTERVAL, FAT BURN AND RANDOM)
Level based programs have similar functions excepts for the program in use. Level based
programs take the number of LED’s illuminated in a column of the current graphic and trans-
late them to an elevation based upon the current level. When changing between programs the
elevation will change to the current programs elevation after five seconds or when the seg-
ment changes whichever is first.
DOT MATRIX Level based graphics consist of expired columns (green), current column
(flashing amber) and pending columns (r
ed). Each column height cor
r
esponds to a potential
change in elevation depending upon the level setting.

pre-program section the user will be prompted to increase the alternate variable. A prompt
will indicate the user is approaching the target heart rate.
