You can increase or decrease the resistance by turning the adjustment knob in the front tube. Turning clockwise (+ direction) increases, turning anti-clockwise (-) direction) decreases the resistance. Console display will show the selected resistance setting (scale 1-16).

EXERCISE LEVEL

Working out using a crosstrainer is excellent aerobic exercise, the principle being that the exercise should be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving the body's maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fitness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on its oxygen uptake capacity. Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You should perspire, but you should not get out of breath during the workout. You must, for example, be able to speak and not just pant while exercising. You should exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level. Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once the basic condition has been reached, it is easily improved, simply by increasing the number of exercise sessions. Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss, because it is the only way of increasing the energy spent by the body. This is why it is always worthwhile to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A dieter should exercise daily

• at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour.

Start your workout with slow tempo and low resistance. Gradually increase tempo and resistance according to your own condition. Keep your head up and neck long in order to avoid stress on your neck, shoulders and back. Keep also your back straight. Make sure that your feet are centered on the foot pedals and that your hips, knees, ankles and toes are facing forward. Keep your body weight centered over your lower body regardless of whether you lean forward or stand upright. Stop your workout by gradually decreasing tempo and resistance.

If you wish to strengthen your upper body muscles, lean slightly forward and focus on working with your arms. Grab the handles somewhat higher than normally to enhance the movement, but avoid getting your shoulders sore. For dual training, set the resistance sufficiently high and focus on actively using upper and lower body muscles simultaneously. You should feel the effects of training in whole body.

HEART RATE

No matter what your goal, you'll get the best results by training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is your own heart rate.

First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate doesn't increase with added effort. If you don't know your maximum heart rate, please use the following formula as a guide:

220-AGE

The maximum varies from person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for you.

We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help you with targeted training.

BEGINNER 50 - 60% of maximum heart-rate.

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents and those who haven't exercised for a long time. Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves beginners' respiratory and circulatory performance and you will quickly feel your improvement.

TRAINER 60 - 70% of maximum heart-rate.

Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness.

Even reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three times a week. To improve your condition still further, increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the same time!

ACTIVE TRAINER 70 - 80% of maximum heartrate.

Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes long-endurance workouts.

EAR PULSE MEASUREMENT

1. Fit the ear sensor wire plug into the connecting point of the meter.
2. Attach the ear sensor to the earlobe.

If the sensor does not immediately start measuring your pulse or if the earlobe is cold, rub the earlobe with the fingers to speed up circulation. Physiological differences between different people may also cause disturbances in pulse measurement. In these cases, try measuring on the inside surface of the ear or on the tip of your finger. If measuring disturbances appear while training, test the functioning of the sensor while stationary. Strong, unintentional swaying while training may also disturb measurement. If pulse values rise above 150 beats/min., earlobe measurement may be affected by the speeding up of circulation. Sometimes a strong light source, e.g. a fluorescent tube, in the immediate vicinity of the user may cause disturbances in pulse measurement. In this case, test the functioning of the sensor by turning the ear sensor the other way round on the earlobe. Pulse reading can also be affected, if the battery power of the meter is too low. Clean the ear sensor after use with a damp cloth.

TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT

This equipment has a built in pulse receiver, which is compatible with a telemetric Bremshey Pro Check pulse transmitter.

NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please consult a physician before using a wireless heart rate monitor.

If you want to measure your heart rate this way during your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes on the transmitter belt with water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the electrodes remain in contact with the skin while training, but not so tight that normal breathing is prevented. If you wear the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the shirt. The transmitter automatically transmits the heart-rate reading to the meter up to a distance of about 1 meter. The

heart-rate value is displayed in the meter. Follow your heart rate during the training.

REMARKS ON TELEMETRIC MEASUREMENT

If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart rate reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the electrodes to warm up properly to ensure accurate heart-rate measurement. If there are several telemetric heart rate measurement equipments next to each other, the distance between them should be at least 1,5m . Similarly, if there is only one receiver and several transmitters in use, only one person with a transmitter should be within transmission range. The transmitter is switched to an active state only when it is being used for measurement. Sweat and other moisture can, however, keep the transmitter in an active state and waste battery energy. Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes carefully after use. When selecting training attire, please note that some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate measurement.

Please note that a mobile phone, television and other electrical appliances form an electro-magnetic field around them, which will cause problems in heart rate measurement.

The Set key changes the setting. Press this key to change the setting in increments of one. If you hold down the key for longer than two seconds, the values change more quickly. Press the Set key when the correct value is reached.

MODE KEY

Press the Mode key to switch the display mode.

CONSOLE APPLICATION

1. Speed

During the workout, the display alternates between revolutions per minute and the speed in km / h

1. Time (countup)

The display shows the time since the start of the workout. The time separator (:) flashes every

second while the time is being measured during the workout.

1. Time (countdown)

The display shows the remaining workout time.

The time separator (:) flashes every second while the time is being measured during the workout.

When the time reaches "00:00", there is an audible signal.

The time can be set up to a maximum of 99 minutes. Use the Set key to adjust the values.

1. Distance (km/countup)

The display shows the distance covered during the workout. Distances of 0 - 999 kilometres are measured in increments of 100 metres.

1. Distance (km/county)

This function displays the remaining distance. Use the Set key to change the setting.

1. Calories

The amount of energy you burn during a workout is displayed in kcal.

You can use the following formula to convert the values into joules: 1kcal = 4.187kJ

ABOUT MEASURING CALORIES:

This device uses average values to calculate energy consumption. However, each individual has differing capacity for producing energy (known as their efficiency), so the energy consumption displayed can only be an approximation.

1. Heart rate

You can measure your heart rate using the ear sensor or chest strap (optional). The heart symbol flashes in time with the heart rate (40 - 239 heart beats per minute). The display only flashes while the heart rate is being measured. Please note that the heart rate measurement takes about 30 seconds in order to calculate an accurate average. The heart rate function switches off automatically if there is no heart rate signal for more than 16 seconds. The warning signal for maximum heart rate is also disabled.

1. Maximum heart rate

The display shows the specified maximum heart rate. To set the maximum heart rate, use the Set key. Press the Set key to enable the maximum heart rate function. If you enter a maximum value, and there is an audible signal if the limit is exceeded. Press the + key to increase the maximum heart rate, and press the Reset key to set it to zero. You can set a maximum heart rate of 40 to 239 beats per minute.

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

Please follow these instructions when carrying and moving the equipment about, because lifting it incorrectly may strain your back or risk other accidents:

The device is easy to move by pushing along on the integrated transport wheels. Tilt the device from the front and push along the floor on the wheels at the front support. We recommend that you use a protective base when transporting the equipment.

To prevent the equipment malfunctioning, store in a dry place with as little temperature variation as possible and protected from dust.

MAINTENANCE

The equipment requires very little maintenance. Check, however, from time-to-time that all screws and nuts are tight.

After exercising, clean the equipment with a soft, absorbent cloth. Do not use solvents. Sweat may cause corrosion: we recommend therefore that you protect all metal surfaces outside the plastic covers with teflon.
- Never remove the equipment's protective casing.
- If the equipment is not used for a period of time, the transmission belt may become temporarily distorted. This can lead to a sensation of slightly uneven pedaling. However, after a few minutes of use the effect disappears as the belt returns to its original form.

CHANGING BATTERIES

If the console display fades or disappears, change the batteries. Detach the lid of the battery casing at the back of the meter and remove the old batteries. Place the new batteries in the holder (2× 1.5V AA) and push the battery casing lid back into place.

MALFUNCTIONS

NOTE! Despite continuous quality control, defects and malfunctions caused by individual components may occur in the equipment. In most cases it's unnecessary to take the whole device in for repair, as it's usually sufficient to replace the defective part. Always give the model, serial number of your equipment and in case of malfunctions also conditions of use, nature of malfunction and any error code.

When you encounter unusual behavior from the device, contact your local Bremshey dealer for service.

If you require spare parts, always give the model,

serial number of your equipment and the spare part number for the part you need. The spare part list is at the back of this manual. Use only spare parts mentioned in the spare part list.
