Safety instructions

Please observe the following instructions for your own safety:

The training device must be set up on an appropriate and firm surface.
- Inspect the connections for firm fitting before initial operation and additionally after approximately six operation days.
- In order to prevent injuries caused by wrong stress or over-stress, the training device may only be used in accordance with the instructions.
It is not recommended to permanently set up the device in humid rooms due to the resulting corrosion development.
Assure yourself regularly that the training device functions properly and that it is in duly condition.
The operator is responsible for the safety controls, which have to be carried out on a regular and proper basis.
Defective or damaged parts must be exchanged immediately. Only use original KETTLER spare parts.
The device may not be used until after repairs are completed.
- The safety level of the device can only be maintained provi

ded that it is regularly inspected for damage and wear and tear.

For your safety:

• Please clarify with your general practitioner before you start with the training, whether or not your health condition allows you to train with this device. The diagnostic findings should be the basis for the determination of your training programme. Wrong or excessive training can cause damage to your health.

Training interruption/end of training

With less than 14 pedal rotations per minute, the electronics assembly of the device identifies a training interruption. The achieved training data are displayed. Rotations, pulse, speed and brake level are displayed as average values with the symbol

You can switch to the current display using "Plus" or "Minus".

The training data are displayed for four minutes. If you do not press any key nor train during this period of time, the electronics assembly of the device switches to sleep mode.

Resumption of training

If you resume training within four minutes, the last values continue to be increased or decreased.

RECOVERY function

Recovery pulse measurement

Press "RECOVERY" at the end of training.

Display

RECOVERY

The electronics assembly of the device measures your pulse 60 seconds in reverse.

The current pulse value is saved under "DISTANCE"; the pulse value after 60 seconds is saved under "KM/H". Next to % Puls, the difference between the two values is displayed. From this difference, a fitness mark (in this example F 1.6) is calculated. The display switches off after 20 seconds.

"RECOVERY" interrupts the recovery pulse function or the fitness mark display.

If no pulse is measured in the beginning or at the end of the reverse counting, the error message "E" is displayed

General instructions

System signals

Activation of the device

If you activate the device, a signal is emitted during the segment test.

Presetting

A short signal is emitted, if you reach a presetting like time, distance and KJoule/kcal.

Exceeding of maximum pulse

If the set maximum pulse is exceeded by one pulse beat, two short signals are emitted for the time of exceedance.

Recovery

Calculation of the fitness mark (F):

$$ \operatorname {m a r k} (F) = 6. 0 - \left(\frac {1 0 \times (P 1 - P 2)}{P 1}\right) ^ {2} $$

P1 stress pulse P2 = recovery pulse

F1.0 = very good F6.0 = insufficient

Calculation of average value

The calculations of the average values refer to training units in the past until a reset or the sleep mode.

Instructions for pulse measurement

The pulse measurement starts as soon as the heart in the display blinks in time with your pulse beat.

With ear clip

The pulse sensor works with infrared light and measures the variations in translucence in your skin, which are produced by your pulse beat. Rub your ear ten times strongly to activate the blood circulation before attaching the pulse sensor to your earlobe.

Avoid disturbing pulses.

• Attach the ear clip properly to your earlobe and look for the best point for the measurement (heart symbol blinks without interruption).
• Do not train directly under strong incidence of light, e.g. neon light, halogen light, spotlight, sun light.
• Completely eliminate any shocks or bounces of the ear sensor and the cable. Always attach the cable with a clip at your clothing or, even better, at your headband.

With breast clip

Please observe the corresponding instructions.

With hand pulse

An extra-low voltage caused by the contractions of your heart is registered by the hand sensors and evaluated by the electronics assembly of the device.

Always grab the contact faces with both hands.
- Avoid jerky grasping.
- Hold your hands calmly and avoid contractions and rubbing on the contact faces.

Comment:

Only one way of pulse measurement is possible: either with ear clip or with hand pulse or with breast belt. If no ear clip or plug recipient is located in the pulse plug, hand pulse measurement is activated. If you insert an ear clip or a plug recipient in the pulse plug, hand pulse measurement is automatically deactivated. It is not necessary to disconnect the plug of the hand pulse

measurement.

Failures with the training computer

Press the "SET" key for a longer period of time (reset).

Brake level display

The brake setting is divided into levels 1-10. If this division is deranged or lost, you can reset it in the following way:

• Insert batteries and press the "SET" key until the segment test is completed.
• Turn hand wheel back to the minimum setting and press the "SET" key when "LO" 0% , BRAKE 0 is displayed.
• Turn hand wheel forward to the maximum setting and press the "SET" key when "HI" 100% , BRAKE 10 is displayed.

Process completed.

Training Instructions

Sports medicine and training science use ergometry, among other things, for the examination of the functional capability of heart, circulation and respiratory system.

You can find out whether or not you have achieved the desired effect from your training after several weeks using the following method:

1. You manage a particular endurance performance with less heart / circulation performance than previously
2. You sustain a particular endurance performance with the same heart / circulation performance over a longer period.
3. You recover more quickly than previously after a particular heart / circulation performance.

Guide values for the endurance training

Maximum pulse: maximum strain means the reaching of the individual maximum pulse. The maximum achievable heart rate is dependant on age.

Here, the following empirical formula applies: the maximum heart rate per minute corresponds to 220 heart beats minus age in years.

Example: age 50 years 220 - 50 = 170 pulse / min.

Load Intensity

Load pulse: the optimum intensity of load is reached at 65 - 75% (see also diagram) of the maximum pulse. This value changes depending on age.

Extent Of Load

Duration of a training unit and its frequency per week:

The optimum extent of load is attained, if 65 - 75% of the individual heart / circulation performance is achieved over a longer period.

Training and Operating Instructions

Empirical Formula:

Either 10 min / training unit in daily training or approx. 30 min / training unit with 2-3x / week. or approx. 60 min / training unit with 1-2x / week

Beginners should not begin with training units of 30-60 minutes. The beginner's training can be planned as follows in the first 4 weeks:

Training frequency Extent of training session

3 times a week 2 minutes of training

Break of 1 minute for physical exercises

Break of 1 minute for physical exercises

4 minutes of training

It is recommended that you perform approx. 5 minutes of exercises before and after every training unit, in order to warm up and cool down. There should be a training-free day between each two consecutive training units, if you prefer training sessions of 20-30 minutes 3 times a week later on in your training. Otherwise, there is no reason why you should not train daily.

Glossary

An accumulation of attempts at explanation.

HI symbol

If "HI" is displayed, the target pulse is too high by 11 beats. If "HI" blinks, the maximum pulse is exceeded. "HI" monitoring is always activated.

LO symbol

IF "LO" is displayed, the target pulse is too low by 11 beats. "LO" monitoring is activated, if the target pulse is reached during training.

Maximum pulse(s)

Value calculated from 220 minus age.

Menu

Display, in which values can be entered or selected.

Pulse

Registration of the heart beat per minute.

Recovery

Recovery pulse measurement at the end of training. The difference between start pulse and end pulse of a minute is calculated. With the help of this difference, a fitness mark is determined. If you train regularly, the improvement of this mark is an indication for your fitness progression.
