If the stage 1 remains unchanged for 30 seconds, brief signal tones are output and the display shows interruption to training with flashing STOP Comment: Training and Operating Instructions

GBRECOVERY Recovery pulse stage The RECOVERY function can be used after each exercise program. The RECOVERY button is used to initiate recovery pulse measurement at the end of exercising. Initial and final pulse during one minute are used to calculate deviation and a fit- ness score. In case of equal exercising, improvement of such score is a measurement for increase of fitness. When reaching the target values, end exercising and press the RECOVERY button; then, leave your hands at the hand pulse sensors. In case of previous pulse measurement, the display shows 00:60 for time, and the PULSE display shows the current pulse value (flashing). The countdown starts at 00:60. Leave your hands at the hand pulse sensors until the countdown reaches >0<. The display will show on its right a value between F1 and F6. F1 is the best status; F6 is the worst status. The function can be ended by pressing again RECOVERY. If no pulse is recorded during the time delay, the error message “Err” appears. End of Training and Standby Mode The display switches to standby mode with temperature display 4 minutes after training if there are no longer any buttons being pressed, no pulses arise owing to pedalling and no pulse is acti- ve. It is possible to continue the last training session if the display is reactivated by pressing a button or pedalling.

UM6786/UM6787Training and Operating Instructions

• Attach the ear clip properly to your earlobe and lookfor the best point for the measurement (heart symbolblinks 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 earsensor and the cable. Always attach the cable with aclip at your clothing or, even better, at your headband. With breast clip The internal pulse receiver is compatible to un-codedPOLAR chest strap transmitters. For coded systems, wrongpulse values may be displayed. We recommend T34 byPOLAR. Please observe the corresponding instructions.A plug-in receiver is not necessary and should not be usedfor technical reasons. Comment: Only one way of pulse measurement is possible: eitherwith ear clip or with hand pulse or with breast belt. If noear clip is located in the pulse plug, hand pulse measure-ment is activated. If you insert an ear clip in the pulseplug, hand pulse measurement is automatically deactivat-ed. It is not necessary to disconnect the plug of the handpulse measurement. Faults in the Training Computer If the computer display is not functioning correctly, pleaseremove the power supply and switch off the machine. General information System signals Activation of the device If you activate the device, a signal is emitted during the seg-ment test.Presetting A short signal is emitted, if you reach a presetting like time,distance and KJoule/kcal.Exceeding of maximum pulseIf the set maximum pulse is exceeded by one pulse beat, twoshort signals are emitted for the time of exceedance. Calculation of fitness score The computer calculates and assess the difference bet-ween the training and recovery heart rate and the resul-ting "fitness score" according to the following formula:P1 = Training pulse P2 = Recovery pulseScore 1 = very good Score 6 = poorA comparison of the training and recovery heart rate is aquick and easy way in which to determine physical fit-ness. The fitness score is an orientation value to assesyour recovering ability after physical exercise. Beforepressing the recovery heart rate button and determiningyour fitness score, you should train at your own level ofintensity for a significant period of time e.g. 10 minutes.For regular cardiovascular training you will discover thatyour "fitness score" improves. Possibilities for Pulse Measurement The pulse measurement starts as soon as the heart in thedisplay blinks in time with your pulse beat. With hand pulse An extra-low voltage caused by the contractions of yourheart is registered by the hand sensors and evaluated bythe electronics assembly of the device.• Always grab the contact faces with both hands.• Avoid jerky grasping.• Hold your hands calmly and avoid contractions andrubbing on the contact faces. With ear clip The pulse sensor works with infrared light and measuresthe variations in translucence in your skin, which are pro-duced by your pulse beat. Rub your ear ten times stronglyto activate the blood circulation before attaching thepulse sensor to your earlobe.Avoid disturbing pulses.Score (F) = 6 – 10 x (P1 – P2)

optional optional For Your Safety: Before beginning your program of exercise, consult yourdoctor to ensure that you are fit enough to use the equip-ment. Base your program of exercise on the advice givenby your doctor. Incorrect or excessive exercise may dama-ge your health.25

UM6786/UM6787 Beginners should not start with training units of 30 to 60 minutes. A beginner training could be organised as follows during the first four weeks: In order to have a personal training documentation, you can enter the training values achieved in the performance table. Prior to and after every training unit gymnastic exercises lasting approx. 5 minutes serve the warming up and/or coo- ling down. There should be a day without training between two training units, if you later on prefer to train three times a week for 20 - 30 minutes each. Otherwise nothing can be said against a daily training. PulsediagrammFitness and Fat Burner

Training Instructions This device has particularly been designed and developed for leisure time sportsmen. It is excellently suited for cardio- vascular training. The training methodically has to be organised on the princi- ples of stamina training. This will predominantly cause changes and adaptations of the cardiovascular system. This includes the reduction of the resting pulse frequency and of the load pulse. This gives the heart more time for filling the ventricles and for the blood circulation of the cardiac musculature (through the coronary vessels . Moreover, depth of breathing and the volume of air that can be breathed in (vital capacity) are increased. Further positive changes take place in the metabo- lic system. In order to achieve these positive changes, the training has to be planned according to certain guidelines. Planning and control of your training The basis for your training planning is your current physical fitness condition. Your family doctor can diagnose your per- sonal fitness by means of an exercise tolerance test, which will constitute the basis for your training planning. If you have not undergone an exercise tolerance test, high training exertion and/or overstraining must be avoided in all cases. The following rule should be considered in your planning: stamina training is controlled via the scope of exertion as well as via the level / intensity of exertion. Regarding exertion intensity The intensity of exertion should preferably be checked in your fitness training via your heart’s pulse rate. The maximum heart rate per minute of > 220 minus age must not be excee- ded. The optimum training pulse is determined by age and training target. Training target: fat burning/weight reduction The optimum pulse frequency is calculated using the empi- rical formula (220 – age) x 0.65. Advice: fat burning for energy supply only gains signifi- cance after a minimum training period of 30 minutes. Training target cardio-vascular fitness: The optimum pulse frequency is calculated using the empiri- cal formula (220 – age) x 0.75. The intensity is predetermined in your training by means of the braking levels, ranging from 1-16. As a beginner, you should avoid too high braking level settings for your training, as this will quickly lead to exceeding the recommended pulse rate range. Start by using a low braking level setting and then approach your optimum training pulse step by step. Do not forget to regularly check during your fitness training whet- her you still range within the intensity area according to the above stated recommendations. Sports physicians consider the following load factors to be positive for fitness: Frequency Duration daily 10 min 2-3 times weekly 20-30 min 1-2 times weekly 30-60 min Training frequency Extent of training session 3 times a week 2 minutes of training Break of 1 minute for physical exercises 2 minutes of training Break of 1 minute for physical exercises 2 minutes of training 3 times a week 3 minutes of training Break of 1 minute for physical exercises 3 minutes of training Break of 1 minute for physical exercises 2 minutes of training 3 times a week 4 minutes of training Break of 1 minute for physical exercises 4 minutes of training Break of 1 minute for physical exercises 3 minutes of training 3 times a week 5 minutes of training Break of 1 minute for physical exercises 4 minutes of training Break of 1 minute for physical exercises 4 minutes of training 4th week 3rd week 2nd week 1st weekMode d’emploi et instructions d‘entraînement
