POWER
The recumbent has a built-in generator for power and do not need to be plugged into an AC outlet. To
power up the recumbent simply start to pedal, the console will turn on automatically.
When initially powered on, the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time the display may
not light up for a few seconds. Continue pedaling and the display will light up. Once powered on, the Dot
Matrix Message Center will be scrolling the start-up message. You may now begin your workout program.
CSAFE FEATURE
Your console is equipped with a CSAFE feature. The Power (POWER) port can be used for powering a re-
mote controlled audio-visual system by connecting a cable from the remote to the Power port at the back of
the console. The Communication port (COMM) can be used to interact with tness software applications.

QUICK START
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console powers up you just press the Start key
to begin. This will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero,
all workout data will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the
Level Up and Down buttons. The Dot Matrix Message Center display will show just the bottom
row lit. As you increase the workload more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The bike
will get harder to pedal as the rows increase. The Dot Matrix Message Center has 24 columns
of lights and each column represents 1 minute. At the end of the 24th column (or 24 minutes of
work) the display will wrap around and start at the rst column again.
There are 40 levels of resistance – displayed as 10 rows of lights – available for plenty of
variety. The rst 10 levels are very easy workloads, and the changes between levels are set to a
good progression for de-conditioned users. Levels 10-20 are more challenging but the increases
from one level to the next remain small. Levels 20-30 start getting tough as the levels jump more
dramatically. Levels 30-40 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks and elite
athletic training.
1/4 MILE TRACK
The 1/4-mile track (0.4 km) will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The ashing dot indicates
your progress. In the center of the track there is a lap counter for reference.
HEART RATE WINDOW
The Pulse (Heart Rate) window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute during the workout.
You must use both left and right stainless steel sensors to pick up your pulse. Pulse values are displayed

16
Spirit Fitness
anytime the computer is receiving a Grip Pulse signal. You may use the Grip Pulse feature while in Heart Rate
Control. The CR800 will also pick up wireless heart rate transmitters that are Polar compatible, including coded
transmissions.
TO TURN BIKE OFF
The display will automatically turn off (go to sleep) after 30 minutes of inactivity. This function is called sleep
mode. In sleep mode, the bike will power down most everything except for a minimum of circuitry for detecting
button presses and the safety button so it will start up again if these are activated. There is only a tiny amount
of current used in sleep mode (about the same as your TV when it is turned off) and it is perfectly ne to leave
the main power switch on in sleep mode. Of course you may also remove the safety button or turn off the main
power switch to power down the bike.
BASIC INFORMATION
The Dot Matrix Message Center, or Prole Window, will display the workout Prole. The LED Data
Display Window displays pertinent exercise data. There is a RPM window for pedal speed and a
Level window indicating machine resistance.
The LED Data Display Windows will initially be displaying Distance, Calories,Pulse and Time
Elapsed information. When the Up/Down Scan key is pressed the next set of information will appear:
Speed, Watts, METs, Time Remaining. Pressing the Up/Down Scan button, the Scan mode is activat-
ed and the LED Data Display Window will show each set of data for four seconds then switch to the
next set of data in a continuous loop. Pressing the Up/Down Scan button again will bring you back to
the beginning.

The Stop key button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop 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
during Pause just press the Start key. If the Stop key is pressed twice during a workout, the pro-
gram will end and the console will return to the start-up screen. If the Stop key button is held down
for 3 seconds, the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the
Stop key performs a Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back one step in the pro-
gramming each time you press the Stop key button.
The Program Key is used to preview each program. When you rst turn the console on, you may
press Program key to preview what the program prole looks like. If you decide that you want to
try a program, press the Enter key to select the program and enter into the data set-up mode.

Spirit Fitness
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 is necessary to ensure the readouts are correct.
You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Your Age is also necessary during the Heart Rate
control program to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age. Otherwise the
work settings could be too high or low for you; 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.
CALORIE NOTE: 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 & CHANGING SETTINGS
When you enter a program, you have the option of entering your own personal settings. If you
want to work out 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 Dot Matrix Message Center. If you start a
program without changing the settings, the default, or pre-saved settings will be used.
