Yup, it can be disabled and I can adjust the delay time. 10 to 40 minutes in 10 minute increments. I just thought it was strange that it would shut off with the trainer cord hooked up!!! You'd think that function would be shut off when using the trainer function. Just a word to the wise....

Nat, you're just jealous because I beat you to it!! Now you will have to find another excuse;>)
