2THE ACHIEVE DISPLAY CONSOLE

2.1 ACHIEVE DISPLAY CONSOLE OVERVIEW

The Achieve LED display console allows the user to tailor a workout to personal fitness abilities and goals and to monitor
progress. With this easy-to-use console, the user can track fitness improvement from one workout to the next.

2.2 ACHIEVE DISPLAY CONSOLE DESCRIPTIONS

This section lists and describes the functions for the keys and display windows on the Achieve console. See Section 4, titled
The Workouts, for detailed information on using the console to set up workouts.

A QUICK START:

Non-treadmill products: Press this key to activate the console for programming a new workout. The activated console
lights up and displays “SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START”. If no key is pressed for 15 seconds and the
user stops pedaling the console shuts down again. The Life Fitness AutoStart feature also activates the Achieve con­sole when the user steps on a product’s pedals and begins pedaling.

On treadmills: When the user presses QUICK START, the belt starts moving at 0.5 mph (0.8 kph) and 0% incline.

B ENTER: Press this key after entering each value, such as weight or workout time, when prompted by console dis-

play messages.

C LEVEL UP/DOWN ARROW keys (non-treadmill products): Pressing the LEVEL ARROW keys increases or decreas-

es the resistance level.
INCLINE UP/DOWN ARROW keys (treadmills only): Pressing the INCLINE ARROW keys increases or decreases

the incline on the treadmill as well as the level in Hill and Random workouts.

D TIME UP/DOWN ARROW keys: When setting up a workout, use the TIME ARROW keys to change workout para-

meters displayed on the console, such as length of workout, weight, and age.

E SPEED UP/DOWN ARROW keys (treadmills only): During a workout, pressing the SPEED ARROW keys changes

the speed of the belt.

NOTE: Whenever an arrow key is pressed during a workout, an increase (up arrow key) or decrease (down arrow
key) is made to the corresponding parameter (level). The number that appears reflects that change. For example, if
the user is at level 6 and presses the right up arrow key, the number 7 will appear, reflecting that the user has cho­sen a new level.

F CLEAR (non-treadmill products): Pressing the CLEAR key once transitions the system to the Workout Summary mode.

Pressing CLEAR during the data entry phase of the workout program will return the entry to the system default (i.e. press­ing CLEAR while entering your weight will return the weight value to 150 lbs).

CLEAR (treadmills): Pressing the CLEAR key once causes the system to go into Pause Mode. Pressing the CLEAR key
twice transitions the system to the Workout Summary mode. Pressing CLEAR during the data entry phase of the workout
program will return the entry to the system default (i.e. pressing CLEAR while entering your weight will return the weight
value to 150 lbs).

G CHANGE WORKOUT

MANUAL: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until MANUAL appears and select the MANUAL program, in which the
intensity level remains the same unless it is manually changed.

RANDOM: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until RANDOM appears and select the RANDOM program, which is a
workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no regular pattern or progression.

HILL: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until HILL appears and select the HILL program, in which periods of intense
aerobic exercise are separated by regular periods of lower-intensity exercise.

FAT BURN: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until FAT BURN appears and select the FAT BURN program, which is a
low-intensity workout for burning fat.

CARDIO: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until CARDIO appears and select the CARDIO program, which is a higher
intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits and maximum fat burning.

FIT TEST: Press the CHANGE WORKOUT key until FIT TEST appears and select the FIT TEST program, in which cardio­vascular fitness is measured and can be used to monitor improvements in endurance every four to six weeks.

H COOL DOWN: Workout programs end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity level. Press the

Cool Down key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately into Cool Down mode. In this phase of a workout
the body begins to remove lactic acid and other accumulated by-products of exercise, which build up in muscles during a
workout and contribute to muscle soreness. The console automatically adjusts each workout’s Cool Down level according
to the individual user’s performance.

I PAUSE: Press the PAUSE key at any point during a workout to go immediately into Pause Mode. The workout is temporar-

ily inactive and saved for a default time of 1 minute. Once the pause time reaches 1 minute, the workout summary
appears.

NOTE: During the Pause Mode, the resistance level drops to Level 1 on non-treadmill products. The belt comes slowly to
a stop on treadmills.

J WORKOUT PROFILE window: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights, that represent the levels of inten-

sity in a workout-in-progress. The height of the first column on the left side of the window is proportional to the current
level of intensity.

During a Fat Burn or Cardio workout, which requires the use of a Polar® heart rate chest strap or the Lifepulse system
sensors, the Workout Profile window displays a flashing heart shape while detecting the user’s heart rate signal. If the con­sole does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt “NEED HEART RATE - PLACE HANDS ON
SENSORS OR USE TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the signal within three minutes, the workout
automatically is converted to a Manual program.

K MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a workout. During a workout, it displays

statistics about the progress of the workout:

• Distance: the total distance traveled in miles (or kilometers if enabled).

• Heart Rate: the detected heart rate if the user is wearing the chest strap or grasping the Lifepulse system sensors.

• Calories: the number of calories burned since beginning the workout.

• Cal/HR: the number of calories burned per hour.
If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays any or all of these values each time the intensity level changes

during the workout:

• Watts: effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the mechanical rate of work.

• METs: effort level in METs. The MET is an expression of the rate of work for the human body at rest, or a metabolic

equivalent; one MET is approximately equal to the metabolism of a person at rest.

L DATA DISPLAY WINDOW: This window displays the following information:

• Incline (treadmills) / Level (non-treadmill products)

• Time

• Speed
