The Speed display eld shows the estimated speed of the bike in kilometers per hour (KM/H) or miles per hour (MPH).
To view the average speed during Workout Mode, tap the AVG/END button.
:DWWV
The WATTS display eld shows the power that you are producing at the current resistance level (1 horsepower = 746 watts).
WATTS data only shows if there is a power sensor installed on the bike.
To see the average watts during Workout Mode, tap the AVG/END button.
+HDUW 5DWH
The Heart Rate display eld shows the heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) from the heart rate monitor (HRM). The heart icon
ashes when the console receiver senses the HRM signal. If the console receiver does not sense the HRM, the center of the
heart icon is on solid.
If the console receiver senses an Ant+ HRM signal, there is an outline around the heart icon. The outline does not ash. If the HRM
signal is a standard EM 5kHz pulse signal, there is not an outline around the icon.
To see your average heart rate during Workout Mode, tap the AVG/END button.
Consult a physician before you start an exercise program. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest,
become short of breath, or feel faint. Contact your doctor before you use the machine again. Use the values calculated or
measured by the machine’s computer for reference purposes only.
&DORULHV
The Calories display eld shows the estimated calories that you have burned during the exercise.
If the bike does not have a Power Sensor, the console calculates the calories from the heart rate data from the HRM.
530
The RPM display eld shows the current pedal revolutions per minute (RPM).
To see the average RPM during Workout Mode, tap the AVG/END button.
For bikes that do not have a Power Sensor installed, the RPM eld is also the user weight input eld during User Setup Mode. The
console will show error messages in this eld if an error occurs.
:RUNRXW 6WDJH
The STAGE display eld shows the time and distance in the current Stage of the workout. The display values start at zero and
count forward until the end of the Stage. At each Stage in the workout, the Stage icon shows the Stage number with the number of
segments that are on:


Workout Totals
The TOTAL display field shows the total time and distance results at the end of the workout. The Total icon is lit during Workout Mode.
LCD + and – Icons
The + and – (plus and minus) icons on the LCD flash to prompt the user to enter their weight during User Setup Mode. The
icons turn off when not in use.
Keypad
The multi-function keypad lets you set the console measurements for your workout, see and update your workout data, and
examine the console diagnostic messages. Tap any button to activate the console from Sleep Mode. The Operations section of
this manual gives the procedures for using the buttons in each Operations mode. The Backlight button sets your selections in
User Setup Mode and Service Mode.
Alerts
The Console icons and LCD display messages show the status of the console and sensor operations.
Battery Level
The Battery Level icon show the battery level for each component of the console-sensor system. All 4 segments of the icon are on when
the battery level is high. When the battery level is low, only the bottom segment is on. The bottom segment flashes when battery
level is very low.

If the battery level is too low to continue operation, the console display flashes the message "LO batt" and the console goes into Sleep Mode.
If this occurs during a workout, the workout stops and the console display shows the workout results for 10 second. Then the "LO batt" message
shows and the console goes into Sleep Mode.


Error messages tell you when there is a problem in the bike's operation:
Errors

Operations
Sleep Mode
The console automatically goes into Sleep Mode to conserve the battery:
••
•if there is no activity for 45 seconds after User Setup.
••
•after Display Results.
••
•if Workout Mode pauses and there is no activity for 5 minutes.
Push any button to activate the console from Sleep Mode.
User Setup
When the console is in Sleep Mode, push any button to go to User Setup mode.
During User Setup Mode the console collects the necessary user data to calculate and record your workout data. Proximity linking
to the user’s HRM or Ant+ watch occurs while in User Setup.
If the console does not find a USB storage device or Ant+ watch, the arrow icons on the console blink. Use the appropriate
instruction for your monitoring equipment.
••
•USB storage device—install the device in the USB port. When the console senses the device, the USB arrow indicator
stays on.
ss
sAnt+ watch—link to the console. Move the watch to 2–4" (5–10 cm) or less from the Ant+ Link Here logo on the console and
hold it there until the arrow stays on. The Ant+ arrow and watch indicators come on when proximity linking is complete.
ss
sAnt+ HRM—link to the console. Lean into the console so that the HRM is 7.5–31" (20–80 cm) from the Ant+ Link Here logo,
until the arrow stays on. The Ant+ arrow indicator comes on when proximity linking is complete. If the Ant+ indicator is not
on, the console uses EM 5kHz signal to calculate HRM.
Note: If you have an Ant+ Sport Watch and paired Ant+ HRM, it is only necessary for the the console to link
with the sport watch. However, if you have an Ant+ Sport Watch and EM 5kHz HRM, the console links to
the watch and the HRM.

When the Cadence decreases to less than 5 RPM for 3 seconds or more, the console pauses and the LCD Display shows the last workout
data values. If you stay paused for more than 5 minutes, the workout stops and the console goes to Display Results mode.
To set the STAGE time and STAGE distance back to zero for a new stage in the workout, tap the STAGE button. The TOTAL time and TOTAL
distance continue the total measurement for the workout.
To end the workout, push the AVG/END button and hold for 3 seconds. The console goes to Display Results mode.

For bikes that do not have a Power Sensor installed, user weight data is necessary to calculate the Calories during the workout. If
the console does not get the weight data from a device, you must manually set the weight value. The + and – icons on the LCD flash,
and the RPM field displays 170 lbs. (80 kg). Use the STAGE (–) and AVG/END (+) buttons to adjust the number to your weight.
Note: To change the weight units to English Imperial or metric:
••
•Push the STAGE and AVG/END buttons for 5 seconds to go to Service Mode.
••
•Tap the AVG/END button until you see the UN menu option, and push the Backlight button.
••
•Push the STAGE or AVG/END button to see the UN menu options—UN0 (metric) and UN1
(Imperial). Push the Backlight button to set the units measure.
••
•The console goes back to the Service Mode menu and the UN menu option appears. Tap the
STAGE or AVG/END button until you see the “– –” (exit) option in the Service Menu.
••
•Push the Backlight button to go back to User Setup Mode.
Push the Backlight button to record your weight.
During User Setup (while RPM is less than 80), it is possible to lose the proximity linking to an Ant+ watch or Ant+ HRM if you move
too far away from the Console. If this occurs for the Ant+ watch, the Ant+ watch indicator flashes. If this occurs for the Ant+ HRM,
the HR display field shows 0 (zero). You must do the proximity linking procedure again.
If Workout Mode does not start in 45 seconds, there is no keypad activity and RPM is less than 5, the console returns to Sleep Mode.
Workout Mode
After User Setup is complete, start pedaling the bike. When the Cadence RPM increases to 80 RPM or more, the console goes into
Workout Mode. The Workout STAGE and TOTAL icons come on and the workout measurements start.

11. Tap the STAGE or AVG/END button until you see the “– – –” (exit) option in the Service Menu, and push the Backlight button.
12. Install the console and sensors on the bike. Refer to the MPower™ installation guides.
Device Pairing for Multiple Bikes
For Schwinn A.C.™ bikes with MPower™ Consoles in a group setting, make sure to set up Device Pairing for only one bike at a time
to prevent crosstalk between the devices on different bikes.
NOTICE: When you remove the handlebars (with console) to clean them, make sure that you install them again
on the same bike to keep the Device Pairing correct. If you install the handlebars and console on a
different bike, the console does not read data from the correct sensors.
Recommendation: You can put number labels on the bikes and handlebars to make sure that the Device Pairing stays
correct.
