Using the USER button, the desired or preset user can be selected.

If the machine has to be disconnected from the mains and reconnected for e.g. due to a change in location, the input personal user data will be retained when the machine is restarted (U1 to U4).

U O can be selected for a guest user.

IMPORTANT! No training data is saved using this USER setting (TIME, DISTANCE and CALORIES)! This data is only counted during a training session.

RECOVERY

The RECOVERY button can be used to activate the recovery heart rate measurement after your training session.

Heart rate measurement

The heart rate measurement can be taken in 3 ways:

  1. Hand pulse sensor (standard)
  2. Ear clip (optional) The plug is connected to a socket in the machine.
  3. Chest strap without receiver (optional) The receiver is built into this electronic unit behind the display. If an ear clip is plugged in, this must be removed. The POLAR T34 chest strap without a plug-in receiver is available as an accessory (Item no. 67002000).

Display functions

General

The display is divided into four separate display areas

  1. The top row displays information on the status or selected training program
  2. The top left zone gives information on the current user (U 0-4) and user-specific data is recorded: gender, age and weight.

Using this input data, the computer calculates data relating to heart rate and the level of intensity during training.

  1. The large screen which displays a graphic image of the training distance (course profile) offers simple user guidance during the training session. One bar = low intensity; 16 bars above one another = maximum intensity.
  2. Below the user display and in the entire bottom row of the screen, there are several adjacent symbols where the different target values and training units are displayed. When presetting these units, the functional symbol will blink > e.g. TIME.

Individual presets

User presetting

(U1 / U2 / U3 / U4 / U0)

The personal data can be saved for up to four different users and recalled when restarting the machine. The individual training program can therefore be used by four different people over a long period of time using their personal saved data.

The personal data is recalled and includes: gender, age and weight.

Guest user = U 0.

With the USER button, the desired or preset user can be selected. In the user field (top left) U1 will blink; if you press this again > U2 will appear; continue to press until reaching U0.

If you do not wish to change your preset personal data, turn the UP/DOWN control knob. This will take you directly to the program selection in the upper part of the display.

If, after selecting a user (e.g. U1) you press the control knob once (ENTER), you will be able to enter or change your personal data > gender, age and weight. U1 is located at the right of the large display screen. In the user display (top left) the symbol SEX (gender) will blink and a male or female symbol can be selected. Adjusting these settings once again takes place by turning the control knob UP/DOWN, until the desired value or symbol is displayed and confirmed by pressing the ENTER button > press the control knob once. Example: male (symbol + SEX); 25 (AGE); 65 (WEIGHT).

By pressing the ENTER button once again, this will allow you to set your training program.

If the machine is disconnected from the mains or reconnected for e.g. due to a change in location, the input user data (U1 to U4) will be retained when restarting.

U O can be selected as a guest user. For training, it is not possible to input personal data such as gender, age and weight and this data is therefore not saved. Only the training functions MANUAL and PROGRAM may be accessed by the guest user.

IMPORTANT! In the user setting (U1 to U4), only personal data is saved, not training data such as TIME, DISTANCE and CALORIES.

Training program (top display row)

The different training programs are selected with the UP/DOWN control knob and confirmed by pressing ENTER.

Detailed information is explained under "Setting the training program". The differences in programs are defined as follows:

MANUAL Manual Training

This setting is selected for an individual training session, in which the individual functions are set manually [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES and PULSE].

The course profile remains linear and runs from left to right over the set timeframe. The resistance level can be increased or decreased using the UP/DOWN control knob during the training.

FITNESS preset program for fitness training

This program setting has a fixed time and intensity setting and can not be changed. At the end of the training session the program gives an analysis of training success using the calculated pulse data. This is displayed analogously to the recovery setting with F1 corresponding to the best score and F6 the worst.

PROGRAM preset training program

There are 12 fixed training program settings available. Using the course profile you can see the level of difficulty for each setting.

H.R.C. Training using a target heart rate (THR)

In this program setting, the intensity is set according to the preset heart rate. It is therefore necessary that the heart rate is recorded during training.

See > Pulse recording options.

The program offers 3 preset target values: 55, 75 and 90% of the heart rate.

Heart rate = 220 minus your age.

A further variable target value is also possible: "day"

You can personally define the target value using this setting. When reaching the set heart rate during the training session, the machine will emit a signal.

USER training program with user settings

This program allows for an individual adjustment of the course profile. At least one default value must be selected. > [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE].

Target values and training units

In the bottom display row, there are several segment symbols displayed with the different target values and training units.

PULSE Pulse / Heart rate

If the pulse is recorded during the training session, the heart symbol will blink in this segment and the pulse value will be displayed as heart beats per minute. Display area: min. 30 to a max. 240.

Once the target pulse value has been achieved during the training session, the computer will emit an alarm signal.

TIME Training time

The training time is measured in minutes and seconds in this display. Display area: min. 00:00 to a max. 99:00

RPM /SPEED Speed

In this display area, the RPM (Rounds per minute) and SPEED are displayed in km/h at 6 second intervals. Display area: min. 0.0 to max. 99.9 km/h

DISTANCE Training course

The distance covered is measured in km. The calculation of distance covered begins at >0< and can be displayed to a maximum of 99.99km . This calculation takes place at distances of 0.01km = 10 metres.

CALORIES Calories burnt, energy consumption

In this display, the calculated number of burnt calories is displayed. The value is determined in training using the resistance and time measurements. Display area: min. 0 to a max. of 990. However, the data merely serves as a rough estimate by comparison to the different exercises and can not be used for medical purposes.

Personal training settings

General

  • Without configuring particular presets, the values for the individual settings [TIME; DISTANCE, CALORIES and PULSE] are counted upwards from >0< .

  • The set target values for TIME; DISTANCE, CALORIES and PULSE are retained every time the machine is restarted and are counted down to >0< during the workout. However, these target values can be reset at any time.

  • For a meaningful workout, it is sufficient to enter just one target value for one setting [TIME; DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE].

If a personal target value is set as a training value, the computer will begin counting down from this value. When the target value has reached >0 < signal will sound. If the workout is continued without setting a new target value, the

computer will begin counting down from the preset value in this mode after pressing the START button.

Once target values have been set, the workout can not be changed unless the STOP button is pressed.

Target values

The setting of target values is the same for all default settings:

e.g. DISTANCE

  1. Press the ENTER button until the >DISTANCE< symbol blinks in the display area.
  2. By turning the control knob in an UPWARDS direction you can increase the value, e.g. increase the DISTANCE in stages of 0.1km
  3. If you would like to further reduce the target value, you must turn the knob DOWNWARDs. The computer will continue to count down from the previous value.
  4. Once you have set the target value, press the ENTER button. The value is then saved in this function and this will take you to the next function e.g. CALORIES.
  5. If possible, only one default value should be entered. Otherwise the training targets will overlap for e.g. if you would like to reach the preset target value before the preset course target.
  6. The other default values [TIME, CALORIES or PULSE] are also entered using the UP, DOWN and ENTER buttons as described under points 1-4.

After entering all default values, press the START button and begin your workout.

During the training session, all current values can be read beside one another. The preset value is counted down to >0< .

SLEEP MODE

If no RPM or PULSE values are recorded or no manual settings are carried out within 4 minutes, the machine will switch to sleep mode. The time and room temperature are displayed in the TIME and DISTANCE segments respectively. After a few seconds, the machine will switch to energy-saving mode meaning that the values will only be faintly visible.

By pressing the START key, it is also possible to continue your training.

Training > H.R.C.

Training via target heart rate (THR

In this training mode the route profile is automatically adapted to the user's input values (U 1-4) as well as the measured heart rate.

If you have selected the training mode H.R.C. using the keys START/STOP, UP/DOWN and ENTER, the bottom heart symbol will blink in the PULSE segment with the value 55% . You can select 55, 75 or 90% using the turning knob and set the individual target heart rate "date".

The percentage defaults 55% 75% and 90% refer to the maximum pulse rate (220 - age) and predetermine 3 general training intensities for the fitness training.

  • 55% of the max. heart rate (220 - age) corresponds to the starting phase of the general fat burning trainings. This default can then also be increased manually to 65% .
  • 75% of the max. heart rate (220 - age) corresponds to the phase for a general fitness training.
  • 90% of the max. heart rate (220 - age) is only suited for shorter sub-maximum exertion intervals for performance increase in interval training.
  • The setting "Tag" allows you to enter an individual pulse value as your training target. If this set value is exceeded, a signal will sound.

In this training mode it is not possible to set an additional PULSE value. All other default values can be set as desired. [TIME, DISTANCE or CALORIES] After selecting your THR value, confirm it via ENTER. You then reach the default setting.

In this training enter it is not possible to set a PULSE value. All other default values can be set freely. [TIME, DISTANCE or CALORIES]

Training start by pressing the START key and active training.

The computer compares your currently measured heart rate with the pre-set target value and accordingly adapts the braking level during your training.
If the current heart rate is lower than the target value, the braking level will be increased by one step every 30 seconds, until the maximum value of the resistance or the set heart rate is reached.
If the current heart rate is above the target value, the braking level is automatically reduced. It will be reduced by one step every 15 seconds until the set heart rate is reached.

General information

Calculation of fitness score

The computer calculates and assess the difference between the training and recovery heart rate and the resulting "fitness score" according to the following formula:

$$ \text {N o t e} (F) = 6 - \left(\frac {1 0 \times (P 1 - P 2)}{P 1}\right) ^ {2} $$

P1 = Training pulse P2 = Recovery pulse

Score 1 = very good Score 6 = poor

A comparison of the training and recovery heart rate is a quick and easy way in which to determine physical fitness. The fitness score is an orientation value to asses your recovering ability after physical exercise. Before pressing the recovery heart rate button and determining your fitness score, you should train at your own level of intensity for a significant period of time e.g. 10 minutes. For regular cardiovascular training you will discover that your "fitness score" improves.

Possibilities 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

The internal pulse receiver is compatible to un-coded POLAR chest strap transmitters. For coded systems, wrong pulse values may be displayed. We recommend T34 by POLAR. Please observe the corresponding instructions.

A plug-in receiver is not necessary and should not be used for technical reasons.

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 is located in the pulse plug, hand pulse measurement is activated. If you insert an ear clip in the pulse plug, hand pulse measurement is automatically deactivated. It is not necessary to disconnect the plug of the hand pulse measurement.

Faults in the Training Computer

If the computer display is not functioning correctly, please remove the power supply and switch off the machine.

For Your Safety:

Before beginning your program of exercise, consult your doctor to ensure that you are fit enough to use the equipment. Base your program of exercise on the advice given by your doctor. Incorrect or excessive exercise may damage your health.

Training Instructions

This device has particularly been designed and developed for leisure time sportsmen. It is excellently suited for cardiovascular training.

The training methodically has to be organised on the principles 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 metabolic 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 personal 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 overstrainng 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 exceeded. 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 empirical formula (220 - age) × 0.65

Advice: fat burning for energy supply only gains significance after a minimum training period of 30 minutes.

Training target cardio-vascular fitness:

The optimum pulse frequency is calculated using the empirical formula (220 - age) × 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 whether 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:

FrequencyDuration
daily10 min
2-3 times weekly20-30min
1-2 times weekly30-60min

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:

Training frequency, PART of training session

1st week
3 times a week2 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
2nd week

4th week
3 times a week5 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

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 cooling down. There should be a day without training between two training units, if you later on prefer to train three
