Top-Sports Gilles GmbH Important Recommendations and Safety Instructions

11. Wear training clothes and shoes which are suitable for fitness training

with the machine. Your clothes must be such that they cannot catch during training due to their shape (e.g. length). Your training shoes should be appropriate for the trainer, must support your feet firmly and must have non-slip soles. Our products are all TÜV-GS tested and therefore represent the highest current safety standards. However, this fact does not make it unnecessary to observe the following principles strictly.

1. Assembly the machine exactly as described in the installation instructions

and use only the enclosed, specific parts of the machine contained in the parts list. Before assembling, verify the completeness of the delivery against the delivery notice and the completeness of the carton against the parts list in the installation and operating instructions.

12. If you notice a feeling of dizziness, sickness, chest pain or other

abnormal symptoms, stop training and consult a doctor.

13. Never forget that sports machines are not toys. They must therefore

only be used according to their purpose and by suitably informed and instructed persons.

2. Check the firm seating off all screws, nuts and other connections before

using the machine for the first time and at regular intervals to ensure that the trainer is in a safe condition.

14. People such as children, invalids and handicapped persons should

only use the machine in the presence of another person who can give aid and advice. Take suitable measures to ensure that children never use the machine without supervision.

3. Set up the machine in a dry, level place and protect it from moisture and

water. Uneven parts of the floor must be compensated by suitable measures and by the provided adjustable parts of the machine if such are installed. Ensure that no contact occurs with moisture or water.

15. Ensure that the person conducting training and other people never

move or hold any parts of their body into the vicinity of moving parts.

4. Place a suitable base (e.g. rubber mat, wooden board etc.) beneath the

machine if the area of the machine must be specially protected against indentations, dirt etc.

At the end of its life span this product is not allowed to dispose over the normal household waste, but it must be given to an assembly point for the recycling of electric and electronic components. You may find the symbol on the product, on the instructions or on the packing. The materials are reusable in accordance with their marking. With the reuse, the material utilization or the protection of our environment. Please ask the local administration for the responsible disposal place.

5. Before beginning training, remove all objects within a radius of 2 metres

6. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents to clean the machine and employ

only the supplied tools or suitable tools of your own to assemble the machine and for any necessary repairs. Remove drops of sweat from the machine immediately after finishing training.

17. This machine is a speed-independant machine.

18. The unit has a resistance device with 16 levels. This makes it possible

to increase or reduce the braking resistance and thus the amount of effort required in the training. Pressing the button with an arrow pointing upwards reduces the braking resistance and thus the amount of effort required in the training. Pressing the button with an arrow pointing downwards increases the braking resistance and thus the amount of effort required in the training.

7. Your health can be impaired by incorrect or excessive training. Consult

a doctor before beginning a planned training programme. He can define the maximum exertion (pulse, Watts, duration of training etc.) to which you may expose yourself and can give you precise information on the correct posture during training, the targets of your training and your diet. Never train after eating large meals.

8. Only train on the machine when it is in correct working order. Use original

spare parts only for any necessary repairs.

19. This machine has been tested and certified in compliance with EN

957-1 and –5 “H,A”. The maximum permissible load (=body weight) is specified as 150 kg.

9. When setting the adjustable parts, observe the correct position and the

marked, maximum setting positions and ensure that the newly adjusted position is correctly secured.

10. Unless otherwise described in the instructions, the machine must only

be used for training by one person at a time.

I. KJOULE/WATT/BMR Display: Indicates only one value of KJOULE,

WATT, or BMR displayed depending on the programs. Computer instruction for 9805 The monitor is designed for programmable magnetic bikes and introduced with the following categories: Key Functions about Displays; Operating Ranges; Things You Should Know Before Exercising; Operation Instructions J. TARGET H.R./BMI/AGE Display: Indicates only one value of TARGET HEART RATE, BMI, or AGE displayed depending on the programs. KEY FUNCTIONS There are total 6 keys: START/STOP (S), ENTER (E), MODE (F), UP (+), DOWN (-), and RECOVERY (Test). „S“ -key: Starts or stops the chosen program and resets the monitor by pressing and holding for 2 seconds. „E“ -key: Chooses the functions from PROGRAMS, GENDER, TIME, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, DISTANCE, WATT, TARGET HEART RATE, AGE, and 10 columns. The chosen function shall flash. Please note that not all the functions can be selected in every program according to the types of each program. „F“ -key: Changes the displays of the values between RPM or SPEED, and KJOULE/CAL or WATT. The values of RPM and WATT show at the same time, or the values of SPEED and KJOULE/CAL do by pressing it. „+“ (up)-key: Selects or increases the values of PROGRAMS, GENDER, TIME, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, DISTANCE, WATT, TARGET HEART RATE, AGE, and 10 columns. „-“ (down)-key: Selects or decreases the values of PROGRAMS, GENDER, TIME, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, DISTANCE, WATT, TARGET HEART RATE, AGE, and 10 columns. „Test“ -key: Starts the function of PULSE RECOVERY. K. HEART RATE/BODY TYPE Display: Indicates only one value of HEART RATE or BODY TYPE displayed depending on the programs. L. LOADING Profiles: There are 10 columns of loading bars, and 8 bars in each column. Each column represents 3 minutes workout (without the change of TIME value), and each bar represents 2 levels of loading.

Operating Ranges Please note that only 1 value of TIME or DISTANCE can be adjusted. Both adjustments do not exist at the same time. For example, the value of DISTANCE is „0.0“ while the value of TIME is adjusted to be any number except „00:00“. D. Program Graph: Each graph shown is the profile of the loading in each interval (column). With the value of TIME counting up, each interval is 3 minutes that all the columns make up 30 minutes. With the value of TIME counting down, each interval is the value of setup TIME divided by 10. For example, if the time value is setup to 40 minutes, each interval will be 40 minutes divided by 10 intervals (40/10=4). Then, each interval will be 4 minutes. Things You Should Know Before Exercising A. The values calculated or measured by the computer are for exercise purpose only, not for medical purpose. B. The Variables May Need To Change In The Programs: The following graphs are all the profiles in the monitor.

Programs Selection: There are 15 programs with 1 Recovery including 1 Manual Program, 6 Preset Programs, 1 Speed Independent Program, 4 Heart Rate Control Programs, 1 Body Fat Program, 2 User Setting Programs, and 1 Pulse Recovery Measuring. certain distance. In Program 10 to Program 12, press „E“ key to select TIME, DISTANCE, and AGE. Then, press „+“ or „-“ key to adjust the values. Users may exercise in a period of time or a certain distance with 60% Max Heart Rate in Program10, 75% Max Heart Rate in Program 11, and 85% Max Heart Rate in Program 12. After pressing „S“ key to exercise, please also apply the heart rate detector appropriately. In these programs, the computer will adjust the level of loading according to the heart rate detected. For example, the level of loading may increase while the heart rate detected is lower than TARGET H.R. Also, the level of loading may decrease while the heart rate detected is higher than TARGET H.R. As a result, the user’s heart rate will be adjusted to close the TARGET H.R. in the range of TARGET H.R. –5 and TARGET H.R. +5. E. Body Types: There are 9 body types divided according to the FAT% calculated. Type 1 is from 5% to 9%. Type 2 is from 10% to 14%. Type 3 is from 15% to 19%. Type 4 is from 20% to 24%. Type 5 is from 25% to 29%. Type 6 is from 30% to 34%. Type 7 is from 35% to 39%. Type 8 is from 40% to 44%. Type 9 is from 45% to 50%. F. BMR: Basal Metabolism Ratio G. BMI: Body Mass Index = Bodyweight : bodyheight² Operation Instructions A. Exercising with a Specific Goal:

1. TIME Control: Sets up a period of time to exercise. (Except in Program 8)

G. Body Fat Program: Program 13 is a special program designed to calculate users’ body fat ratio and to design a specific loading profile for users. With 9 different body types, the computer can generate 9 different profiles for each. Press „E“ key to select GENDER, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, and AGE. Then, press „+“ or „-“ key to adjust the values. After pressing „S“ key to calculate body fat, please also apply the heart rate detector appropriately. If the detector cannot pick up any signals, an error message „E3“ will show up in the profile display. If it happens, press „S“ key to calculate again. Then, the calculation values of FAT%, BMR, BMI, BODY TYPE, and a designed profile will show up shortly. After the values and profile show up, they will be stored in PROGRAM 14 (U1). And the next user calculation will be stored in PROGRAM 15 (U2). Press „+“ or „-“ key to select PROGRAM 14 or PROGRAM 15. Press „S“ key to exercise. The profile shown in the display is specially designed for your body type.

3. BODY FAT Control: Computer designs various programs for different

people with different body fat ratio.

4. WATT Control: Keeps different bodies burning in desire WATT

5. Heart Rate Control: Keeps users to exercise under a safe heartbeating condition

B. Pulse Rate: The whole set of heart rate detector include 2 sensors each side. Each sensor has 2 pieces of metal parts. The correct way to get detected is to gently hold both metal parts each hand. With the good signals picked up by the computer, the heart mark in the HEART RATE/BODY TYPE Display shall flash. (You can also use a pulse belt which is not codified and has got a frequency of 5.0 – 5,5 KHz) H. User Setting Programs: Program 14 to Program 15 are the user-setting programs that store the calculated values from Program 13. Users are also free to edit the values in the order of TIME, DISTANCE, AGE, and the level of loading in 10 intervals. The values and profiles will be stored in the memory after setup. After pressing „S“ key to exercise, please also apply the heart rate detector appropriately. Users may also change the ongoing loading in each interval by pressing „+“ or „-“ key, and they will not change the level of loading stored in the memory. With the input of age, the computer may suggest a target heart rate to exercise. The suggested heart rate is 85% (220 – age). So, if the heart rate detected equals to or greater than the TARGET H.R., the value of HEART RATE will keep flashing. Please note that it is a warning for users to speed down or to lower the level of loading. C. Manual Program: PROGRAM 1 is a manual program. Press „ENTER“ key to select TIME, DISTANCE, and AGE. Then, press „+“ or „-“ key to adjust the values. The default level of loading is 6. After pressing „S“ key to exercise, please also apply the heart rate detector appropriately. Users may exercise in any desire level (by pressing „+“ or „-“ during the workout) with a period of time or a certain distance. With the input of age, the computer may suggest a target heart rate to exercise. The suggested heart rate is 85%(220 – age). So, if the heart rate detected equals to or greater than the TARGET H.R., the value of HEART RATE will keep flashing. Please note that it is a warning for users to slow down or to lower the level of loading.

It is a function to check the condition of pulse recovery that is scaled from 1.0 to 6.0 while 1.0 means the best and 6.0 means the worst and the increment is 0.1. In order to get rated correctly, users must test it right after the workout finished by pressing „Test“ key and then stop exercising. After the key is pressed, please also apply the heart rate detector appropriately. The test will last for 1 minute and the result will show in the display. D. Preset Programs: PROGRAM 2 to PROGRAM 7 are the preset programs. Press „E“ key to select TIME, DISTANCE, and AGE. Then, press „+“ or „-“ key to adjust the values. Users may exercise with different level of loading in different intervals as the profiles show. After pressing „START/STOP“ key to exercise, please also apply the heart rate detector appropriately. Users may also exercise in any desire level (by pressing „+“ or „-“ during the workout) with a period of time or a certain distance. With the input of age, the computer may suggest a target heart rate to exercise. The suggested heart rate is 85%(220 – age). So, if the heart rate detected equals to or greater than the TARGET H.R., the value of HEART RATE will keep flashing. Please note that it is a warning for users to speed down or to lower the level of loading. E. Speed Independent Program: Program 8 is a Speed Independent Program. Press „E“ key to select the values of TIME, DISTANCE, WATT, and AGE. Then, press „+“ or „-“ key to adjust the values. After pressing „S“ key to exercise, please also apply the heart rate detector appropriately. During the exercise, the level of loading is not adjustable. In this program, computer will adjust the level of loading according to the value of WATT setup. For example, the level of loading may increase while the speed is too slow. Also, the level of loading may decrease while the speed is too fast. As a result, the calculated value of WATT will close to the value of WATT setup by users. With the input of age, the computer may suggest a target heart rate to exercise. The suggested heart rate is 85%(220 – age). So, if the heart rate detected equals to or greater than the TARGET H.R., the value of HEART RATE will keep flashing. Please note that it is a warning for users to speed down or to lower the level of loading. F. Heart Rate Control Programs: Program 9 to Program 12 are the Heart Rate Control Programs. In program 9, press „E“ key to select TIME, DISTANCE, and TARGET H.R. Users may setup a target heart rate to exercise in a period of time or a

Training instructions You must consider the following factors in determining the amount of training effort required in order to attain tangible physical and health benefits:

The level of physical exertion in training must exceed the level of normal exertion without reaching the point of breathlessness and / or exhaustion. A suitable guideline for effective training can be taken from the pulse rate. During training this should rise to the region of between 70% to 85% of the maximum pulse rate (see the table and formular for determination and calculation of this). During the first weeks, the pulse rate should remain at the lower end of this region, at around 70% of the maximum pulse rate. In the course of the following weeks and months, the pulse rate should be slowly raised to the upper limit of 85% of the maximum pulse rate. The better the physical condition of the person doing the exercise, the more the level of training should be encreased to remain in the region of between 70% to 85% of the maximum pulse rate. This should be done by lengthening the time for the training and / or encreasing the level of difficulty. If the pulse rate is not shown on the computer display or if for safety reasons you wish to check your pulse rate, which could have been displayed wrongly due to error in use, etc., you can do the following: a. Pulse rate measurement in the conventional way (feeling the pulse at the wrist, for example, and counting the number of beats in one minute). b. Pulse rate measurement with a suitable specialised device (available from dealers specialising in health-related equipment).

85% of the maximum pulse rate

2.Frequency Most experts recommend a combination of health-conscious nutrition, which must be determined on the basis of your training goal, and physical training three times a week. A normal adult must train twice a week to maintain his current level of condition. At least three training sessions a week are required to improve one’s condition and reduce one’s weight. Of course the ideal frequency of training is five sessions a week. Maximalpuls (220-Alter) Maximum pulse rate (220-age) 200 ■

3. Planning the training

Each training session should consist of three phases: the warm-up phase, the training phase, and the cool-down phase. The body temperature and oxygen intake should be raised slowly in the warm-up phase. This can be done with gymnastic exercises lasting five to ten minutes. Then the actual training (training phase) should begin. The training exertion should be relatively low for the first few minutes and then raised over a period of 15 to 30 minutes such that the pulse rate reaches the region of between 70% to 85% of the maximum pulse rate. In order to support the circulation after the training phase and to prevent aching or strained muscles later, it is necessary to follow the training phase with a cool-down phase. This should be consist of stretching exercises and / or light gymnastic exercises for a period of five to ten minutes. 90% of the maximum pulse rate 85% of the maximum pulse rate 70% of the maximum pulse rate

The key to a successful program is regular training. You should set a fixed time and place for each day of training and prepare yourself mentally for the training. Only train when you are in the mood for it and always have your goal in view. With continuous training you will be able to see how you are progressing day by day and are approaching your personal training goal bit by bit.
