SeTTing UP and rUnning THe ProgramS
The easiest way to set up and run the programs on the display console, is to simply enter data as asked
for by the MESSAGE DISPLAY. The prompts on the MESSAGE DISPLAY will guide you through the
program setup. The following is a detailed description of the program setup prompts you will see on the
MESSAGE DISPLAY.
Select Mode:
Your
g•force UT digital
allows you to choose between two different ways to vary the exercise resis-
tance; Exercise Mode or Bike Mode.
In Exercise Mode the power level stays the same, regardless of your pedal RPM. This means
that the resistance will change automatically as you pedal faster or slower such that your power
output (watts) stays the same.
In Bike Mode the resistance stays constant, and your power output increases or decrease as you
pedal faster or slower.
You can select either mode in the Manual, Hill, or Fat Burner programs. The Heart Rate (HR) programs are
always in Exercise Mode. The LeMond Training programs are always in Bike Mode.
Select Level:
Choose a resistance level for your workout; 1 through 20. The higher the level, the greater the resistance
as you pedal. The default level is 4.
Select Time
Enter in minutes how long your want your exercise program to run, from 5 to 99 minutes long. The
default time is 30 minutes.
Select RPM / Power
Some programs set the exercise goals based on pedal RPM, others use exercise power (watts). Use the
+/ – Keys to change the default value shown in the MESSAGE DISPLAY, then press the ENTER key
Entering Age:
Your current age is used to calculate your target heart rate. Use the +/– Keys to change the default age
of 40 that is shown in the PROFILE DISPLAY. When your correct age is displayed in the MESSAGE DISPLAY,
press the ENTER key.
Choosing a Target Heart Rate:
The console automatically generates a target heart rate that is 70% of your theoretical maximum heart
rate. You may wish to increase or decrease your target heart rate. To do so, simply change your calcu-
lated target heart rate that is displayed on the MESSAGE DISPLAY, using the +/– Keys. You can increase/
decrease the peak interval value by pressing the +/- Keys. The HR can vary between 80 BPM and Max HR
(220-AGE). Once the desired target heart rate is displayed, press the ENTER key.
