IMPORTANT
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of serious injury due to improper use, carefully read and adhere to the safety
precautions and information before using the device. Please also take note of the precautions in
the Indoor Cycle Manual, with which this computer is to be used.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users are informed of all warnings and
precautions for proper use, and are only authorized to use the bike independently after being
successfully briefed by a qualied trainer or instructor.
2. Keep the indoor cycle indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not place the indoor cycle
outdoors in a garage or covered patio or near water or pools. Operating temperature of the
indoor cycle has to be between 15°C ~ 40°C Celsius (59°F~104°F) at a maximum humidity of 65%.
3. Children under the age of 14 shall only be allowed to use the indoor cycle with parental
approval and supervision of a qualied Trainer or Instructor. Use of the bike by persons over
the age of 14 only to be allowed after a qualied Trainer or Instructor briefs them. Unsupervised
children should be kept away from the training device at all times.
4. All data shown on the display, especially the Watt values generated by the integrated power
sensor, serve merely as information and to help guide training. Only exercise within your physical
limitations.
5. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising, stop immediately. It is recommended that you
consult a doctor if the pain does not subside for an extended period of time.
CAUTION
If you have pre-existing health problems or a disability, it is recommended that you consult
your physician, in order to nd the training method which is best suited to you. Incorrect or
extensive training can result in serious health injuries. The manufacturer expressly assumes
no responsibility for health risks, personal injury, property damage or consequential damages
sustained by or through the use of this device, unless it is a case of consequential damage
which can be traced back to faulty material and/or manufacturing, and which come under the
responsibility of the manufacturer.

DEFINITION
TERMS & ABBREVIATIONS
Power-orientated (WattRate®) or heart rate oriented training
guidance based on individual user settings by training zones
depicted in color.
Unit of power which is calculated based on the time during which
the work is done.
The calculation is carried out using the formula:
Watts = power x speed.
With respect to cycling this means:
Watts = the pressure applied by the cyclist to the pedal
/traction x peddling frequency/cadence.
In Indoor Cycling, the power rendered is regulated using the
resistance dial. The speed is regulated by the cadence.
Direct measurement of the power rendered by the cyclist in real time.
Functional Threshold WattRate®, also termed FTW Index.
Power delivered in Watts to the functional threshold power
(FTW = 100% corresponds to the aerobic/anaerobic power threshold)
Functional Threshold WattRate® in per cent.
Information on the current power with respect to the FTW value in
per cent FTW% = (current power in Watts / FTW) x 100
Revolutions Per Minute, Cadence, pedaling frequency (PFQ),
Revolutions Per Minute (R/min)
Heart Rate
Information on the current heart rate with respect to the maximum
heart rate in percent
HR MAX % = (current HR / HR max) x 100

In this manual, this relates to the heart rate of the user.

INTEGRATED ENERGY SUPPLY
The IC7 Indoor Bike is equipped with an independent energy supply by means of an integrated
generator and a rechargeable lithium polymer (LiPo) accumulator. No additional equipment in
the form of batteries is necessary to ensure that the bike’s computer is operational.
INTEGRATED ENERGY MANAGEMENT
For low pedaling frequencies under 50 RPM, the energy is supplied by a built-in LiPo accumulator.
When the cadence exceeds around 50 RPM, enough energy is generated to supply the system
with power and if necessary charge the LiPo battery.
ACCURACY OF THE POWER DISPLAY
The power values shown on the display exceed the requirements according to DIN EN 957-5 for
Class A ergometers. The accuracy with an average deviation of just ± 1 % is maintained within a
revolution range of 40 - 120 RPM and with a braking eciency of between 50 - 900 watts.
BATTERY STATUS DISPLAY
If the charge capacity of the battery has almost been depleted, a ashing battery symbol is
shown on the left side of the display.
If you pedal with a cadence of > 50 RPM for several minutes, the ashing battery symbol
disappears. It is then possible to operate the computer in battery mode for several minutes,
during which user settings can be input.
If the battery status display is active and the cadence reduces or if you brake or stop pedaling
after a short period of time, the background lighting and the front display are switched o. This
protects the battery during this operating mode.
Please note that as long as the battery status display is active, the console may be switched o
suddenly even while a key is being pressed.

ENG
TURNING THE
COMPUTER ON AND OFF
SWITCH ON
The computer remains in deep sleep mode while the ywheel is not moving. To switch the
computer from standby mode to operational mode, simply perform one full revolution with
the pedal. After approx. 5 seconds, the computer is then switched on and the display activated.
If the computer will not switch on after one complete revolution of the pedals, this could mean
the battery is empty. In order to charge the battery or to activate the computer, you must pedal
the bike with a cadence > 50 RPM.
You can nd further INSTRUCTIONS on a battery low status in this manual.
SWITCH OFF
The computer is automatically switched o if the wheel is not moving. The switch o period is
extended if the console is operated or if you switch to pause mode.
• The console is automatically switched o after two minutes if it is not operated and
the ywheel is not moving.
• The switch o time lasts for 10 minutes if it is in pause mode and the ywheel is not
moving.
• Each time a button is pressed, the switch o time is reset to the time interval entered
here.
COACH BY COLOR® TRAINING CONCEPT
The 5 color zones used by ICG (white, blue, green, yellow, red) can be used based on the power
(watts) of every user of the bike. The training zones are based on the current power in relation
to the individual FTW (Functional Threshold WattRate®) value. The same principle of calculating
training zones applies when using the maximum heart rate (HR max) and an analogue POLAR®-
compatible chest belt. As soon as the max HR or the individual FTW value are known, the
personal training zones can be worked out accordingly and in doing so the intensity can be
displayed by the colors during the training session based on the heart rate or watts.
Using the FTW power test (ramp test integrated into the computer), the user has the option to
monitor both current performance and progress.
CAUTION
The power test should only be carried out under the supervision and guidance of a qualied
Instructor or Trainer.

MEDICAL
DISCLAIMER
CAUTION
The division of the training zones for power or heart rate oriented training is based on an average
person’s performance. The zones may sometimes vary dramatically depending on the nature of
the training, the state of your health (e.g. whether you are taking any medications) and your
physical capabilities. It is recommended to always work out sensible training parameters for your
own personal training under medical supervision, and to plan your personal training based on
this data.
WARNING
• Do not exercise beyond your ability.
• If you feel physical discomfort or dizziness, stop training and consult a physician.
• Color zones are for guidance only.
• If the user requires medication that has an eect on their performance capabilities
and/or cardio-vascular system, it is imperative that they consult a doctor in order to
adjust the personal entries accordingly.
