DESCRIPTION
The Pilot assembly consists of a console, a magnet, and a
transmitter. Asensor in the transmitter counts the number of
times a magnet mounted in the right crank passes the sensor.
The transmitter will then send a coded RF (radio frequency)
signal to the console containing the measured values.
The console has inboard receivers that pick up the signals
from the transmitter and from telemetry (chest strap) heart rate
signals. The heart rate is then shown in the display window. The
console will track cadence (RPMs), speed (MPH/KPH), time,
distance, and caloric expenditure.
The console and the transmitter use AA batteries as a
source of power. Install the supplied batteries in the console and
in the transmitter prior to using.
Console Battery Installation:
1. Loosen the battery cover screw remove the battery
cover from the console.
2. Insert 2 AA batteries into the battery compartment
and reinstall the battery cover.

DESCRIPTION
Transmitter Battery Installation:
1. Remove the battery cover from the transmitter.
2. Install 3 AA batteries in the battery compartment
and reinstall the battery cover.
NOTE:
• Excessive use of the back light [ ]will drain
the console batteries prematurely.
• Expected life of the console batteries is 6
months to 1 year.
• If the console battery power is low, then “BATT
LOW” will be shown in the display window for
2 seconds after the display is turned on to inform
you to change the console batteries.
• Expected life of the transmitter batteries is 6
months to 1 year.

Magnet:
1. Rotate the right crank until it is at position shown.
2. Measure out 2.0” from the round end of the crank and
mark this location.
3. Firmly press the magnet into the groove on the inside
crank arm at the measured location (see picture below).
Checking the Installation:
1. Turn the console on by pressing START.
2. Rotate the cranks for 10 seconds and verify that the
console is picking up the crank rotation and displaying
RPM’s in the cadence section of the display window..
3. If you do not see RPMs in the display window,
press the [CADENCE] key repeatedly until “INST”
RPM is shown in the display window. If RPMs still do
not show, refer to the troubleshooting section of this
manual.

HEART RATE
CADENCE
Cadence is the measurement of how fast the cranks are rotating
in RPM’s. The approximate speed of the bike can also be
displayed (MPH/KPH) in this area.
TIME
Time is the length of time (min:sec) since you pressed the start
button.
DISTANCE
Distance is the measurement of the approximate distance of the
bike if the user was riding a bike with tires the same size of the
flywheel.

Page 14
KCAL
Kcal is the approximation of calories burned during your work-
out. The calories are estimated by measuring your instantaneous
heart rate (HR) and factoring in your age, ambient HR, and
weight.
HEART RATE
This is the measurement , by telemetry (chest strap), of your
heart rate in beats per minute (BPM).
You must wear a chest strap during your workout in
order to see your heart rate. The Pilot console will detect heart
rate signals from most chest straps that emit an analog signal, or
a digital Cardiosport®chest strap. An “A” (analog) or “D”
(digital) will be displayed for a few seconds in the heart rate
display section of the display window when a HR signal is
initially received, to indicate the type of signal being received.
The Pilot also features heart zone training.After selecting
your maximum and minium heart rate limits, the console will use
flashing up and down arrows over the heart icon to indicate that
you need to adjust your intensity either up or down to stay within
your selected heart rate zone. See pg. 15 for more info.
!WARNING
IFAT ANY TIME DURING YOUR WORKOUT YOU FEEL CHEST PAIN,
EXPERIENCE SEVERE MUSCULAR DISCOMFORT, FEEL FAINT, OR ARE
SHORT OF BREATH, STOP EXERCISING IMMEDIATLELY. IFTHE
CONDITION PERSISTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR MEDICAL
DOCTOR IMMEDIATLEY

Page 15
Any time you want to bypass entering your personal data and
start using the meter, simply press any key to turn on the con-
sole. After you press the [START] key, the timer will start
counting and the console will start tracking usage information.
The Pilot will calculate calories burned based on the
following default perimeters for Quick Start Workout:
Ambient Heart Rate (AHR): 70 bpm
Age: 30 Years old
Weight: 175 lbs.

• A short press (< 3 sec) of the clear key will reset the
time, distance and calorie measurements.
• Pressing and holding the clear key (> 3sec) will reset the
AVG (average) and MAX (maximum) values for
cadence and HR measurements. In addition, the calorie
calculation values will be reset to their default values
[STOP]
The stop key will stop the calculation of the time, distance and
calorie measurements without resetting the values of the
measurements. Pressing the start key again will restart the
