DOWN downward setting of default values. By slowly turning the turning knob downwards to the left = DOWN, you will reduce the setting values of the various func- tions > [TIME; DISTANCE, CALORIES and PULSE]. RECOVERY With the RECOVERY key, you reach a recovery pulse measu- rement at the end of the exercise session.10 Functions and Operation of the Training Computer

General The display consists of four display areas

1. In the top line, the status or selection of the training program

2. In the field at the top left the current user is displayed (U 0-

4) and the user-specific data are registered: Sex, age,

weight. From these input data the computer will calculate the pulse and performance data during the training.

3. The large display area represents the graphic display of the

performance range (route profile) and serves for simple ori- entation within the training sequence. One bar segment = low performance; 16 bar segments on top of each other = maximum performance.

4. Below the user field and in the entire bottom display line you

will find several segment display fields next to each other, where the different training functions are shown. If these fun- ctions are preset, the respective function designation will blink > e.g. TIME. After finishing your training, the training data is stored and can be retrieved when starting a new training sequence. The new data is then added. Training program (top display line The different training programs are selected using the keys UP or DOWN and then confirmed with ENTER. MANUAL Manual training This setting can be selected for an individual training sequence by setting the individual functions [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES and PULSE] by hand. (setting see > functions). The route profile remains linear and is executed from the left to the right over the set time period. The resistance value can be increased or decreased during the training with UP / DOWN. FITNESS Preset program for your fitness training This program setting has a fixed default time and performance and cannot be changed. At the end of the training sequence the program will offer you an evaluation of the training success on the basis of the calculated pulse data. It will be displayed analog to the recovery setting with F1 being the best value and F6 the worst. PROGRAM Preset programs for training You have 12 fixed training programs at your disposal. By means of the route profile you can see which difficulty levels apply to the respective settings. H.R.C. Training on the basis of a target heart rate (THR) In this program setting your performance is controlled by means of the preset heart rate. To this end, it is necessary to register your pulse during the training. see > Possibilities of pulse measurement. The program offers 3 preset target values: 55, 75 and 90% of the measured pulse. Pulse = 220 minus age. In addition, another variable target value is possible: “Tag” You can set the target value for this setting yourself. As soon as the pulse is reached during your training, the device will emit an acoustic signal. USER training program via user setting (User This program selection allows to you set your individual route profile. At least one default value must be selected > [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE]. Default values (bottom display line The bottom display line includes individual segment displays with various default values and units. PULSE Pulse / heart rate If the pulse is measured during training, the heart symbol in this segment display will blink and the pulse rate displayed as heartbeats per minute. Display range: min. 30 to max. 240. If the target pulse rate is reached during your training, the computer will send an alarm signal. TIME Training period In this display, the training period is mea- sured in minutes and seconds. Display range: min. 00:00 to max. 99:0011 RPM / SPEED Speed This alternating display (display interval of 6 seconds presents the step frequency as RPM (Round per minute = revolution per minute and the speed as SPEED in km/h. Display range: min. 0.0 to max. 99.9 km/h DISTANCE Training distance The covered distance is measured in km. The counting of the distance starts with >0< and can be continued up to a maximum of 99.99 km. Gradation for counting is effected in intervals of 0.01 km = 10 m. CALORIES Calorie and energy consumption This display shows the calculated calorie consumption. The value is established during the training by means of the resistance and time measurements. Display range: min. 0 to max. 990 The data only serves as a rough guideline when comparing the different exercises and cannot be used for medical purposes. Sleep Enter (empty) If no RPM or PULSE is registered or if no manual settings are made within 4 minutes, the unit will switch to sleep enter.

4. Personal Training Defaults

General – Without any special pre-settings, the values in the individual defaults [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES and PULSE] count upwards, starting from >0<. – For effective training it is sufficient to only set one target value in one of the defaults [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE]. – If a personal target value is set as a training default, the com- puter will count downwards from this value. When reaching the target value >0<, an audible signal will sound. If the training is continued after this -without setting a new target value - the computer will again count downwards from the pre-set value in this enter on the pressing of the START key. – Once set, target values cannot be changed during your training. They can only be changed if you press the STOP key first. Target default value Setting a target value is identical for all defaults: e.g. DISTANCE

1. Press the ENTER key until the designation >DISTANCE< is

blinking in the display segment.

2. Turning the knob in the direction UP will increase the value,

e.g. DISTANCE in 0.1 km steps.

3. If you want to reduce the target value again, turn the knob

in the direction DOWN. The countdown will then start from the previously set value.

4. If you have set the target value, press the ENTER key. The

value is then stored in this function and you reach the next function, e.g. CALORIES.

5. If possible, enter only one default value, as otherwise the

training targets will overlap. For example, you might reach the pre-set target time earlier than the pre-set target distance.

6. The other defaults [TIME, CALORIES or PULSE] are also

entered as described in items 1-4 via the keys UP, DOWN and ENTER. After having finished setting your defaults, you can start your training. During the training, all current values are displayed in parallel next to each other. The pre-set value is counted down- wards until >0< is reached.

After switching on the device (see Chapter 1) and after selecting the user (U 0–4), the program line in the top display field will blink. You also reach the program line in the top display field by pressing the START key for a short time – without restarting the computer. – Select the training program (MANUAL, PROGRAM, H.R.C. or USER) with the turning knob UP or DOWN and confirm with ENTER. – If the training enter you select is MANUAL, PROGRAM or USER and you pre-set a target value for your heart rate, the computer will activate an optical and acoustic alarm as soon as the current heart rate value reaches the target value. Training > MANUAL The route profile is represented evenly as a line. All default set- tings can be made individually [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE]. Training start pressing the START key and active training. Via the UP and DOWN turning knob, the entire route profile can be increased or reduced either prior to the start of or during the training. By means of the set training period (TIME, the computer counts the training progress in the route profile (bar graph) from left to Functions and Operation of the Training Computer GB12 Functions and Operation of the Training Computer

right with a blinking bar. If the pre-set value [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE] is reached, an acoustic signal will sound for 8 seconds. The training data is not counted further. You have reached your training target! By pressing the START key, it is also possible to continue your training. FITNESS Preset program for your fitness training This program setting has a fixed default time and performance and cannot be changed. At the end of the training sequence the program will offer you an evaluation of the training success on the basis of the calculated pulse data. It will be displayed analog to the recovery setting with F1 being the best value and F6 the worst. Training > PROGRAM Preset programs for your training In the training enter PROGRAM you can select one of 12 dif- ferent factory-pre-set training programs: By turning the turning knob upwards or downwards, you can move from one program to the next. The alternating display shows the program number (P1-12) for about 1 second and then the route profile in blinking form. Via the ENTER key you confirm your selection, or select another program via UP and/or DOWN. If you have selected your program, you can additionally enter a default value [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE]. Press the ENTER key to reach the respective next setting possi- bility. Training start by pressing the START key and active training. Via the UP and DOWN turning knob, the entire route profile can be increased or reduced either prior to the start of or during the training. By means of the set training period (TIME), the com- puter counts the training progress in the route profile (bar graph from left to right with a blinking bar. If the pre-set value [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE] is reached, an acoustic signal will sound for 8 seconds. The training data is not counted further. You have reached your training target! 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 pre-determine 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]13 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. – If the braking level has been reduced to 1, but the value for the heart rate still exceeds the target value for 1 minute, the computer will stop and an acoustic alarm signal will sound as a warning. – Over the set training period [TIME] the computer counts the training progress in the route profile (bar graph) from left to right with a blinking bar. – If the pre-set value [TIME, DISTANCE or CALORIES] is reached, an acoustic signal will sound for 8 seconds. The training data is not counted further. You have reached your training target! By pressing the START key, it is also possible to continue your training. Training > USER Training program via user setting (User) In the training enter USER you can design your individual route profile. The setting is made via the turning knob UP / DOWN in order to adjust the profile height. Your reach the next bar via the ENTER key; then UP or DOWN again for height, etc. Program all 16 bars. Training start by pressing the START key and active training. If you have designed your individual route profile, you can additionally set the default values. To this end, press the START STOP key. To this end, press and hold the ENTER key for 2 seconds. The TIME segment is blinking. Turn the UP / DOWN knob to enter any training time value (TIME), then confirm with ENTER. You will thus reach the distance setting (DISTANCE), etc. All default values can be set individually [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE]. At least one default value must be selected. After completing the setting of the default values, you can start your training by pressing the START key and start your active training. The entire route profile can be increased or reduced via the UP and DOWN keys either prior to the start of or during the training. By means of the set training period (TIME), the computer counts the training progress in the route profile (bar graph from left to right with a blinking bar. If the pre-set value [TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES or PULSE] is reached, an acoustic signal will sound for 8 seconds. The training data is not counted further. You have reached your training target! By pressing the START key, it is also possible to continue your training. RECOVERY Recovery pulse phase The RECOVERY function can be selected after any training program. With the RECOVERY key, you reach a recovery pulse measurement at the end of the exercise session. From the beginning and ending pulse of one minute, the deviation and the fitness grade is determined. With the same exercise session, the impro- vement of this grade is a measurement of the increased fitness. If you have reached the target value, end the exercise session, press the RECOVERY KEY and then lay your hands on the hand pulse sensors. With a previous pulse measurement in the display 00:60 appears for the time and in the PULSE display the current pulse value blinks. The time begins to count from 00:60 backwards. Keep your hands on the hand pulse sensors until >0< is reached. Right in the display a value between F1 and F6 is shown. F1 is the best and F6 the worse status. By pressing RECOVERY again, the function is ended. Functions and Operation of the Training Computer GB14 Functions and Operation of the Training Computer

5. Possibilities for Pulse Measurement

• The computer has two different sensors for heart-rate mea- surement: hand puls and chest strap (optional accessory). Detection priority is as follows: chest strap and hand pulse.
• If you want to measure the hand pulse, do not apply the chest strap.
• If you want to measure the pulse using the chest strap, apply the chest strap.
• 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 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 varia- tions 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 thebest point for the measurement (heart symbol blinks withoutinterruption).• Do not train directly under strong incidence of light, e.g. neonlight, halogen light, spotlight, sun light.• Completely eliminate any shocks or bounces of the ear sensorand the cable. Always attach the cable with a clip at your clo-thing 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 isregistered by the hand sensors and evaluated by the electronicsassembly of the device.• Always grab the contact faces with both hands.• Avoid jerky grasping.• Hold your hands calmly and avoid contractions and rubbingon the contact faces. Comment: Only one way of pulse measurement is possible: either with earclip or with hand pulse or with breast belt. If no ear clip islocated in the pulse plug, hand pulse measurement is activated. Ifyou insert an ear clip in the pulse plug, hand pulse measurementis automatically deactivated. It is not necessary to disconnect theplug of the hand pulse measurement. Notes – If no signal is transmitted to the computer for 4 minutes, the LCD will shut off automatically and all existing training data will be stored. You can then press any button to reactivate the computer. – If the computer is not displaying correctly, disconnect and then reconnect the power supply.

6. Disposal of used batteries and storage batteries

This symbol tells you that batteries and storage batteries must not be disposed of with the normal household waste. The symbols Hg (mercury) and Pb (lead) underneath the crossed-out rubbish bin also tell you that the battery or storage battery contains more than 0.0005% mercury or more than 0.004% lead. Improper disposal damages the environment and can damage people’s health. Recycling of materials conserves precious raw materials. When disposing of the appliance, remove all batteries and storage batteries from the product and hand them over to the collection point for the recycling of batteries or electrical or electronic appliances. Information about the appropriate collection points can be obtained from your local authorities, your waste disposal team or in the outlet where this appliance was sold.

7. Training Instructions

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. 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 over- straining 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) x 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) 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 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: 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 cooling 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.
