Operation of Your Console
Console
Power Up
The fitness bike is supplied with an external power supply. When power is connected to
the fitness bike, the console will automatically power up. If there is no input to the console
for 30 minutes, the console will go to stand-by mode to save energy. To turn the console on
press any key.
When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time
all the lights will turn on. When the lights go off the dot matrix display will show a software
version (i.e.: VER 1.0) and the time and distance windows will display an odometer
reading. The odometer reading displays how many hours the fitness bike has been used
and how many virtual miles the fitness bike has gone.
The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the
start up display. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different workout
profiles of the programs and operating instructions. You may now begin to use the
console.

Console Operation
Quick Start Mode
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the
Start key to begin. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero and the workload may be
adjusted manually by pressing the Up or Down keys. The dot matrix display will show a work
profile with a ¼ mile track around it and a lap counter to the left. To the right of the dot matrix is
a number that indicates your work level.
Basic Information and Functions:
Data Displayed:
Pulse indicates your heart rate if you are grasping the hand pulse sensors.
Time shows elapsed time unless you set the timer to count down.
Distance displays accumulated kmage.
Calories show an accumulation of calories burned (Kcal). The number shown is just an
estimate; your actual calorie burn most likely will be different. The only way to get an
accurate calorie reading is in a laboratory setting connected to a host of machines.
Message Window:
Instructions are displayed to assist in programming the console and during a workout the Mes-
sage Window will display workout data as described below.
Speed shows shows your speed in miles per hour if there is an “KM” displayed to the left of the
track/profile window, and kilometers per hour if “Km” is displayed. Press the Enter key to
switch the display to see your Speed in RPM.
Pressing the Enter key again will switch the display to show your current Work Level.
The fitness bike has a built in Heart Rate Monitoring System. Simply grasping the hand pulse
sensors on the stationary handlebars will start the heart icon blinking (this may take a few
seconds). The Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate, or pulse, in beats per minute.
The Stop/Reset button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop/Reset key once during a
program will pause the program for 5 minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any
of the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your
workout after pausing just press the Start key. If the Stop/Reset button is pressed twice during a
workout, the program will end and a summary of your workout will be displayed. If the Stop/Reset
key is held down for 3 seconds, the console will perform a complete reset.
There is an Audio Input Jack on the front of the console, and built-in speakers. You may plug any
low-level audio source signal into this port. Audio sources include: MP3 player, iPod, portable
radio, CD player or even a TV or computer.

Programming The Console
Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to suit
your needs. Some of the information asked for during programming is necessary to ensure the
readouts are correct. You will be asked for your age and weight. Entering your age is necessary
during the Heart Rate Program to ensure the correct settings are entered in the program.
Entering your Weight aides in calculating a more correct calorie reading; although we cannot
provide an exact calorie count we do want to be as close as possible.
A message about calories: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is
in a gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide to
monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie burn
accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because every person
is different and burns calories at a different rate.
Entering a Program/Changing Settings
Press the program keys to scroll through the program selections. The profile for each program will
be displayed in the dot matrix window. Press the Enter key to select a program and begin
customizing the settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings then just press the
Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly to the start of your
workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the instructions in the
message window. If you start a program without changing the settings, the default settings
will be used.
Note: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the last
age and weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter an age and weight
the first time you use the fitness bike you will not have to enter it every time you work out unless
either your age or weight changes or someone else enters a different age and weight.

Preset Programs
The has seven different programs that have been designed to provide a variety of
workouts.These seven programs have factory preset profiles for achieving different goals.
P-1 Sunrise
The Sunrise program simulates going up and down a gentle hill early in the morning. The
resistance in the pedals will steadily increase and then decrease during the program.
RESISTANCE
P-2 Journey
The Journey program is designed to maximize the burning of fat, a lifelong journey for some
of us.There are many schools of thought on the best way to burn fat, but most experts agree
that a lower exertion level that stays at a steady workload is the best. The absolute best way
to burn fat is to keep your heart rate at around 60% to 70% of its maximum potential. This
program does not use heart rate but simulates a lower, steady exertion workout.
RESISTANCE
P-3 Wild Ride
The Wild Ride program is designed to increase your cardio vascular function; this is exercise
for your heart and lungs. It will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung
capacity. This is achieved by incorporating a higher level of exertion with slight fluctuations in
work….a real Wild Ride!
RESISTANCE

Dyaco Canada Inc. 2014 [e-mail]
16
P-4 Xtreme
The Xtreme program is designed to increase muscular strength in your lower body with
extreme resistance. This program will steadily increase in resistance to a high level and
then keeps you there. This is designed to strengthen and tone your legs and glutes.
RESISTANCE
P-5 Canyons
The Canyons program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low
intensity. This program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by
periods of recovery to replenish oxygen. Your cardio vascular system gets programmed to
use oxygen more efficiently this way.
RESISTANCE
P-6 Thrill Hill
The Thrill Hill program combines a few types of workout in one, with variations of cardio and
strength portions to give you a thrill.
RESISTANCE
P-7 X-Country
The X-Country program simulates a cross country run across uneven terrain.

Heart Rate
The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of
exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of
heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that
their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is
much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
To determine the benefit range in which you wish to train, you must first determine your
Maximum Heart Rate. This can be accomplished by using the following formula: 220
minus your age. This will give you the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) for someone of your
age. To determine the effective heart rate range for specific goals you simply calculate a
percentage of your MHR. Your heart rate training zone is 50% to 90% of your maximum
heart rate. 60% of your MHR is the
zone that burns fat, while 80% is for strengthening the cardio vascular system. This 60% to
80% is the zone to stay in for maximum benefit.
For someone who is 40 years old
their target heart rate zone is
calculated:
220 – 40 = 180 (maximum heart rate)
180 x .6 = 108 beats per minute
(60% of
maximum)
180 X .8 = 144 beats per minute
(80% of
maximum)
So for a 40 year old the training zone would be
108 to 144 beats per minute.
If you enter your age during programming the
console will perform this calculation
automatically. After calculating your MHR you
can decide upon which goal you would like to
pursue.
The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training
for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above
represent the MHR for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column. The
training heart rate, for either cardiovascular fitness or weight loss, is represented by two
different lines that cut diagonally through the chart. A definition of the lines’ goal is in the
bottom left-hand corner of the chart. If your goal is cardiovascular fitness or if it is weight
loss, it can be achieved by training at 80% or 60%, respectively, of your MHR on a
schedule approved by your physician. Consult your physician before participating in any
exercise program.

Rate of Perceived Exertion
Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There
are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your
stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day,
the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you
should
workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of these things.
The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed
by Swedish physiologist G.A.V. Borg. This scale rates exercise intensity from 6 to 20
depending upon how you feel or the perception of your effort.
The scale is as follows:
Rating Perception of
Effort
6 Minimal
7 Very,very light
8 Very,very light +
9 Very light
10 Very light +
11 Fairly light
12 Comfortable
13 Somewhat hard
14 Somewhat hard +
15 Hard
16 Hard +
17 Very hard
18 Very hard +
19 Very,very hard
20 Maximal
You can get an approximate heart rate level for each rating by simply adding a zero to
each rating. For example a rating of 12 will result in an approximate heart rate of 120
beats per minute. Your RPE will vary depending up the factors discussed earlier. That
is the major benefit of this type of training. If your body is strong and rested, you will
feel strong and your pace will feel easier. When your body is in this condition, you are
able to train harder and the RPE will support this. If you are feeling tired and sluggish,
it is because your body needs a break. In this condition, your pace will feel harder.
Again,
this will show up in your RPE and you will train at the proper level for that day.

USING HEART RATE TRANSMITTER (Optional)
How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:
1. Attach the cycle to the elastic strap using the locking parts.
2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not
too tight to remain comfortable.
3. Position the transmitter with the centered in the middle of your
body facing away from your chest (some people must position
the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end of the
elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking
parts, secure the transmitter and strap around your chest.
4. Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.
5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat
electrical signals. However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet the
electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on the reverse side of the belt and both sides of
the transmitter). It’s also recommended that you wear the transmitter strap a few
minutes before your work out. Some users, because of body chemistry, have a
more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After
“warming up”, this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the
transmitter/strap doesn’t affect performance.
6. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to
achieve a strong steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but
generally stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable
readings. Wearing the transmitter immediately against bare skin assures you of
proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so,
moisten the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.
Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart.
Additionally, it automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the
transmitter is water resistant, moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should
take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use to prolong battery life (estimated
transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032.
