The computer offers the standard functions necessary to control your easily control your training and design your work outs. The various values collected during exercise are being scanned through on the display. You can also choose to see a specific value individually at any time during exercise. Especially the measurement and display of your current heart rate offers you the possibility to gear your work out toward important fundamentals for ef- fective training as determined by sports science. Before you start your workout please read the computer manual carefully. We wish you success and continued enjoyment using your ENERGETICS Fitness Equipment.

Not all models are equipped with hand pulse sensors, in this case there will be no hand pulse cable!

If the computer does not receive a signal for more then 4 minutes the sleep mode is activated. Assembly and activation Connecting the computer Data cable: Connect the data cable coming from the equipment with the one coming from the computer [1]. Mounting: Attach the computer to the mount on the equipment. Carefully slide the insert sleeve on the back of the computer over the mount on the centre post [2]. Pay attention not do damage the data cable when sliding the computer housing over the mount. Hand pulse sensors: Plug the hand pulse cable into the connector on the back of the computer [3]. Computer activation The computer can be activated by pressing the MODE-key or when the user starts to pedal. The computer will display the training time. Sleep mode Should the E-201 not receive a signal for more than 4 minutes it changes into the sleep mode. The display turns dark. To start again press any key or start to pedal. All values are reset. Power supply: The computer is powered with two batteries. Make certain that the batteries are inserted correctly (polarity +/–). 1 2 33User Manual >> quick start | measured values >> 04

Reset all settings – RESET To return the computer to its original settings press the function key MODE 2 seconds. The display will show the original values.

The computer uses kilojoules as unit to measure energy used. Calories and kilojoules are terms that are sometimes confused or wrongly interpreted. Conversion: 1 kilojoule = 0,239 kilocalories 1 kilocalorie = 4,189 kilojoule Quick start Press the MODE-key or start to pedal. The computer starts automatically. The display will scan through the current values of the various read outs (workout time, calories used, travelled total kilometres, speed, workout dis- tance and your current heart rate while holding the hand pulse sensors. Please read this manual carefully before you start your training. Explanation Workout time Shows workout time in minutes. Workout distance Shows workout distance in kilometres. Calories used Shows calories used during workout in kilojoules. Heart rate Shows current heart rate in beats per minute. Speed Shows speed in kilometres per hour (kph). ODO Shows total kilometres travelled. Measured valuesEN >> displays and key functions >> 05 The values of the different functions are constantly read and processed by the E-201. The read out on the main display alternates every 6 seconds among the various values. To see a specific value press the MODE-key. The values are displayed in this order. Workout time Calories used Total kilometres travelled Displays and key functions Heart rate Speed Workout distance Reset Keep the MODE-key pressed for a minimum of 2 seconds to reset all values, except ODO value. The computer starts over.

KUser Manual >> training – functions and settings >> 06 Not every type of tness equipment has hand pulse sensors available. Hand pulse sensors record the variation in resistance, which is created by the pulsation of the blood owing through the palms. Movement on the handgrips, friction, moisture and perspiration will inuence the transmission. There are among people appreci- able physiological dierences in the characteristics of the resist- ance change. For some people the resistance is to weak to even be measured. In this case the computer will show no heart rate. All these factors inuence the measurement, which makes it imprecise and it should only be used for orientation. If the hands are dry at the beginning of the workout the hand pulse sensors might not pick up a signal at all or register a faulty one. Usually it is sucient to moisten the palms to correct this. The values that are measured and calculated here are not based on medically valid measuring methods. The values therefore might not be accurate. Please contact your physician for a medi- cally valid measurement. The heart rate measurement using the hand pulse sensors is not t for medical purposes! Training – functions and settings Endurance training on this trainer using the E-201 computer, which offers heart rate monitoring, is easy on your heart and joints. It is sensible basic training to increase fitness. This happens with regular exercise – the body becomes slowly adjusted to the first unusual strain. The E-201 allows you complete freedom in the design of your work out. Monitor your current heart rate while training and adjust the effort accord- ingly. The effort can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the resistance or changing the cadence. Heart rate and heart rate monitoring The computer monitors the heart rate via the hand pulse sensors. The heart rate is displayed in beats per minute. Measurement via hand pulse sensors: Sensors to record heart rate from the palms are located on the handlebars. For recording to take place both palms have to be in contact with the sensors simultane- ously [1]. 1EN >> training – functions and settings | frequently asked questions >> 07

If the training is interrupted for more than 4 minutes the compu- ter stops and all values recorded so far are lost. Pause/interrupt exercise and reset To interrupt the workout for a short period it is not necessary to press a key. When the unit is idle there are no values recorded. Safety Our recommendation: Get a physician’s advice before you start your training.

• Train regularly and over an extended period of time.

• Wear comfortable, breathable clothing.

• Wear non-sliding sneakers. Never train bare footed, this could result in injury, especially to your toes.

• Do not consume a heavy meal within one hour prior or after your workout.

• Drink plenty of fluids. Frequently asked questions How are the computer settings reset?

1. Reset: Hold the MODE-key for a minimum of 2 seconds and all functions

will be reset. Information not saved will be lost except ODO value.

2. Power supply: If removing the batteries from the back of the computer

disconnects the power supply, all functions are reset and information not saved it lost. Can the workout/program be interrupted? The training is interrupted when the computer no longer receives a signal from the unit, the values will no longer be recorded. You can resume training and the values continue counting. Heart rate monitoring – can chest strap and hand pulse sensors be used at the same time The E-201 has no receiver for a chest strap signal.User Manual >> service >> 08 Service Troubleshooting Computer display is not working

• The computer might not be getting power. Check if the batteries are inserted properly.

• The batteries might need to be replaced.

• Contact your local ENERGETICS-dealer if you have checked all connections and the display is still not working. The computer does not show values during the workout

• Check if the data cable is connected properly. Heart rate (PULSE) shows no or incorrect read out

• Check if your palms have proper contact with the sensors. Both palms have to be in contact with the sensors simultaneously. The display may be on a slight delay.

• Check all cable connections.
