total time is neither known nor calculable and
the distance and calories are also unknown,
(e.g. Quick Start), a column lights up every

the TGS key, the LEDs will all light up and the
LED corresponding to the user’s theoretical
maximum heart rate will blink.
The first two LEDs, coloured orange, signal a heart rate less than 60% of the theoretical
maximum heart rate; the four central LEDs, coloured green, signal values between 60% and
90%; the two red LEDs signal a heart rate greater than 90%.

At the end of each workout there is a cool down stage, at half the effort level of the exercise
just completed.
For workouts lasting less than a minute, on the other hand, at the end of the exercise the
equipment goes straight into standby.
During the cool down, the only key enabled is the one for going into standby.
The profile LED columns are blocked, showing the gradient for the exercise just ended.
Everything switches off in the goal arc; the goal dial will either show the total time of the
exercise just ended, the total distance covered or the total calories burned.
The workout results alternate on the alphanumeric display:
