Before you begin your exercise routine, you must set up some specific goals for each of the settings. Each of these settings will be discussed in detail below. Part of this setup is making selections for the time of the session, distance to travel, calories to burn during the session, and the pulse and heart rate to name a few.

Each of these modes can be useful in monitoring any weight loss for your exercise workout. It is highly recommended that prior to using the Slim Cycle Bike, determine beforehand what each of the modes should be. Determine how many miles a day for the workout, calories to burn, and time on the bike etcetera.

Display Screen Flutters or Does Not Work

There may be times when you see the display screen starting to flutter. Or may not even come on. This could be a sign that the batteries need to be changed.

Before calling customer service at 1-888-784-2835, try installing fresh batteries. The unit requires 2 AA batteries which were included with the unit. They do wear out over time. The battery life will vary depending upon the use of the bike. I would use alkaline batteries for longer life. If the screen comes on as normal after installing fresh batteries, your problem is solved. If not, then call customer service for assistance as there may be some other issue. At least, you can inform customer service that you replaced the batteries, and the problem still exists.
