K 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 column

furthest to the left is proportional to the current level of the intensity.

During a FAT BURN, CARDIO HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or

EXTREME HEART RATE workout, which requires the use of a Polar heart rate chest strap,

the WORKOUT PROFILE window displays a 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 - USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the sig-

nal within three minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a MANUAL program.

L MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a work-

out. During a workout, it displays statistics about the progress of the workout:

 Level: the selected intensity level; alternates with Heart Rate.

 Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the Polar heart rate chest

strap; alternates with Level.

 Distance: the total distance traveled.

 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute): the pedaling speed or rate.

 Calories: the number of calories burned since beginning the workout; alternates with

Time.

 Time: the number of time elapsed since beginning the workout; alternates with Calories.

If programmed 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.

 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 metabolic equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabo-

lism of a person at rest.

See Chapter 5, titled Optional Settings for information about enabling the MESSAGE CENTER

to display these additional settings.

M BIKE MODE: Press this key to activate the Bike workout mode in which the rate of calories

burned and the total distance travelled increase automatically as the user increases the

pedaling speed.

N 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.

For more information about Bike Mode and Constant Calories Per Hour Mode, see the topic

Selecting a Workout Mode in Section 4.2, titled, the Using the Workouts.
