Has anyone had the monitor shut off after 4 minutes, while exercising instead of at the end of the time period you have programmed?

Yes-although mine shut off about 18 minutes in to my workout. I called the company and they made several attempts to fix the elliptical but after exhausting all options (this took about 8 months!) they sent me a new one. The new one doesn't shut off in the middle of my workouts.

When you setup the timer you can adjust the "exercise" time and the "rest" time. That gives you two different time intervals that will run/alternate continuously. I hope that answers your question!

It's not a defect, it's to save energy. You can go to Settings--&#12299;Screen and find where adjust the of inactivitie, starts with 15 seconds. Regards!

No. My last one did and it turned out to be more annoying than useful. It beeped continously until i was warmed up and started beeping again towards the end of the workout as i got tired. However, this monitor links up to treadmills and ellipticals at the gym I use ... Much more useful

I've used mine for 20 minutes, only once or twice a day and haven't had any problems. But I'm not an exercise buff. I would never use it to replace an hour on a treadmill. I think the tension that you set it on might have something to do with breakage. I use it gently as opposed to really "running" on it. So far it works well.

I have mine set to run one hour at 5pm and cool at 6PM. Screen one is the clock, Mode 1 is set at 5pm as well as mode 2. Mode 3 is stop time at 6pm and mode 4 is cool down mode at 6pm, but the unit keeps running. What am I doing wrong?

When it is on and you're using it, you will get 4:58 with this. I used it for my long training run and for my first marathon. It shut off both times at 4:58, saving what was there. If you plan on taking longer than a 5 hour run, get a different watch.

My old one used to pause every thirty seconds - this replacement just runs for 2 minutes and I have to keep an eye on my watch. I am very frustrated by this.

I haven't actually timed it but my guess is that it shuts itself off in about two hours. For my use in walking the dog and having it on at the fitness center I don't find this to be a problem and actually a good feature in the event you forget to turn it off. There is no warning and I don't know if this feature can be turned off. Ooooops, I learned something from the response by Walter.

didn't you get them with the bike?there is a white piece of paper with the instructions on it.if you want,I can write them down for you.first you have to put in a 9 volt battery in the little door.the monitor will turn on when the wheel is in motion.or by pressing the button.if there is no signal for 4 min.,the power will turn off automatically.the monitor will keep the values of Time,Distance,Calories,Odometer,andPulse until the values have been cleared or reset.**if you press any key for 2 seconds,all the values will reset to zero,except Odometer Auto scan./reset. Everytime i go on the bike i press the button down,it will first read 5-8's across the board,then turn to 5-0's.keep both your hands around the handle bars on the piece of metal on each bar.if you don't your pulse won't show.i hope I helped you and didn't confuse you instead.it would be easier to show you. To get the instructions,i don't know.i wish I could send you a copy.it is really not difficult.you can contact me again if you need to.

I mainly use the manual program for a 45 minute workout. I can't say I experienced any sort of failure. Hopefully its under warranty. Good luck.

YES. The display does shut off after a preset amount of time. You can select the number of minutes in the menu. Or you can select to have it never turn off.You people saying it never shuts off are smoking crack.YES THE DISPLAY/SCREEN SHUTS OFF.

Unless your hitting a button your not doing anything wrong.the whole system Turning completely off? Or just the screen. If it's the screen go to your settings and fix sleep timer. If the whole system is shutting down send it back. You've figured out that it's junk. I bought my daughter this for her birthday and 2 weeks later it started having problems. Screen going out. Running slow etc. Mine was refurbished though. So I thought that was the problem but apparently not. Because many are complaining about the same problem you are having and I had. Good luck to you.

hi Vicki, I have not been able to get it to do this. I don't even remember reading that this was possible in the instruction manual but granted I don't have the instruction manual anymore. But after looking at the timer itself -there are a total of 8 timer settings. So you could in essence run it for 1 minute starting at lets say midnight, then it would turn off, then start it again for a minute 15 minutes later, and so on for a total of 8 cycles. But that's really the extent of the extendable programming.

It does stop automatically after so many minutes. I have never timed it. I just turn it back on if I want it to run longer

I never had a chance to try; mine stopped working after 4 workouts. The on/off button stopped working.

I have not tried to do this although I don't see why you couldn't. It is not meant as a continuous monitor as you would find on a treadmill, though.
