NOTE:
Press any key to turn on the Pilot console.•
Never disassemble the console or transmitter as it•
can not be reassembled.
e console is water resistant, not water proof. Do•
not deliberately place it in water.
To clean the console, wipe it o with a clean rag•
sprayed with diluted household cleaner.
CONTENTS

Page 6
e Pilot assembly consists of a console, a magnet, and a
transmitter. A sensor in the transmitter counts the number
of times a magnet mounted in the right crank passes the sen-
sor.
e transmitter will then send a coded RF (radio frequency)
signal to the console containing the measured values.
e console has inboard receivers that pick up RPM signals
from the transmitter and heart rate signals from a telemetry
chest strap. e heart rate is then shown in the display win-
dow. e console will track cadence (RPMs), speed (MPH/
KPH), time, distance, and caloric expenditure.
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 aer 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.
DESCRIPTION

Page 7
e 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.
To install the meter (console and the transmitter), you will
need
the following tools:
Phillips Screwdriver•
2.5-mm Hex Key (supplied)•
3-mm Hex Key (supplied)•
4-mm Hex Key (supplied)•

Checking the Installation:
Turn the console on by pressing START.1.

console is picking up the crank rotation and displaying
RPM’s in the cadence section of the display window.
If you do not see RPMs in the display window, press3.
the [CADENCE] key repeatedly until “INST” RPM
is shown in the display window. If RPM still does
not show, refer to the troubleshooting section of this

CADENCE
CADENCE
Cadence is the measurement of how fast the crank is rotat-
ing in RPM’s. e 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 ywheel.

KCAL
Kcal is the approximation of calories burned during your
workout. e calories are estimated by measuring your
instantaneous heart rate (HR) and factoring in your age,
ambient HR, and weight.
HEART RATE
is is the measurement , by telemetry (chest strap), of your
heart rate in beats per minute (BPM).
Note: 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 re-
ceived.

The Pilot also features heart zone training. After selecting
your maximum and minium heart rate limits, the console
will show flashing up or 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.

Any time you want to bypass entering your personal data
and start using the meter, simply press any key to turn on the
console. Aer you press the [START] key, the timer will start
counting and the console will start tracking usage informa-
tion.
e Pilot will calculate calories burned based on the follow-
ing default perimeters for Quick Start Workout:
Ambient Heart Rate (AHR): 70 bpm
Age: 30 Years old
Weight: 175 lbs.

CADENCE TRAINING
Denition of Cadence
How rapidly the cranks are rotated or the rhythm of the ped-
al stroke; oen referred to as RPM (revolutions per minute).
Concepts using Cadence for training
You can choose the goal of your workout in relation to
Resistance, Cadence, and Heart Rate . e intensity of your
workout is aected by pedal speed change and the resistance
applied. is is quantied as RPE - Relative Perceived Ex-
certion)
