Using the Wattrate LCD+ Computer
Power
Power is provided to the bike and console by pedaling. The pedaling cadence and duration will affect how long the console remains on and how long the workout details are displayed on the console, after you stop pedaling.
Charging
Pedaling the indoor cycle at > 50 RPM for 1 minute will completely charge it. When the indoor cycle is fully charged and is no longer being pedaled, the user LED will start to blink after 2.5 minutes, signaling that the console will turn off soon. Restarting pedaling will continue charging and extend power on time.
Background Brightness
If the background brightness of the console is set to medium or high in the general settings, the display will remain dim until a cadence of > 50 RPM is achieved. If the cadence drops below 50 RPM, the display will save energy and dim to low brightness until the pedaling cadence is increased.
In Power Training, the trainer facing and user facing Coach By Color LED's will be activated when > 50 RPM's are achieved. If the cadence falls below 45 RPM, the LED's will turn off and come back on once you reach > 50 RPM.
Accuracy
The average displayed values on the indoor cycle are accurate within +/- 5 % at 50 - 120 RPM's at a power of 50 - 400 watts.
