Directly after being switched on, an automatic test sequence is carried out (all segments are shown for two second s). After that the kilometre total is shown in the “kilojoule” field for ten seconds the display can be turned off by pressing any button or by pedalling.

If you press the SET button for longer than two seconds with the home trai- ner idle (no read-out of pedal revolutions) and swinging disc at rest, the display will be re-set and the opening display will appear. All training data will be lost.

4.4 Training parameters/ training modes

If the display is started by beginning to train (pedalling) and no person has been selected, then all data are displayed independently of persons and in “count-up mode” ( all figures are counted up from zero). Display directly after training starts, the heart symbol flashes in time with the rhythm of the pulse, if a pulse signal is connected (also ap plies for all following illustrations, where the heart symbol is shown).

Pr e ss t h e SET b u t t o n w i t h t h e h o m e t r a i n e r i d l e ( n o p e d a l l i n g ) In pre-set mode the values can be changed using the + and – buttons. If one of these two buttons is pressed for longer than two seconds the num- bers move forwards or backwards with the larger step. Simultaneous pressing of the + and - buttons cause the entry to be deleted. The SET but- ton stores the current value and the display computer jumps to the next va- lue to be entered. The parameters begin with KILOJOULE and take the following sequence: KILOJOULE>TIME>KM>PULSE>KILOJOULE ETC. (continuous sequence). You can quit pre-set mode by pedalling or pressing the SET button for more than two seconds (re-set all values to zero). All pre-set values count backwards if you pedal. Ranges without pre-set data count upwards. If zero is reached when counting backwards, all segments flash for five seconds. After that the numbers are counted upwards from the va lues at- tained.

5.2 Energy consumption

Kilometres travelled are indicated in counting-up and pre-set mode in 10m intervals from 0.00 km to 99.99 km.

5.6 Pulse-rate measurement

Measurement of pulse rate is either by the ear clip or the wrist pulse sen- sors or wi th a chest belt wi th plug-in receiver (obtai nable is speciali st sto- res). The connecting plug for wrist-pulse detection is at the back. If there is no ear clip or plug-in receiver in the pulse box on the front then wrist pulse measuring is activated. If an ear clip or plug-in receiver is connec- ted with the pulse box then wrist pulse detection is automatically deac- tivated. It is not necessary to pull out the wrist pulse sensors.

In this case the “P” is not displayed in the main display in SCA N mode. The read-out j ump s i mmed iately to the next i tem

5.6.3 Monitoring the aerobic zone

Th e a e r o b i c z o n e i s c a l c ul a t ed w i th t h e f o l l o w i n g f o r mul a : Aerobic zone = 180 minus age +/ - 10 beats If the pulse rate determined by the age and the resulting aerobic zone is not attained, the symbol “ LO” flashes. If the aerobic pulse rate is excee- ded the “HI” symbol flashes. The LO/ HI read-out is activated when the tar- get pulse rate (180-age) is reached. If no pulse rate limit is entered then this function is deactivated.

4.4.2.3 Training distance

Th e m a i n d i s- play shows “OFF”. After a value has been entered using the + and – buttons the display sho- ws the current values. They can be stored using the SET button.

If the + or – buttons are pressed for a moderately long time while pre-set- ting the data Th en th e n umb e r mo v es f o r w a r d s o r b a c k w a r d s r a p i d l y. If b o t h b u tt o n s are pressed simultaneously the display jumps to the initial value (mostly zero or OFF). The fast forward and reverse only takes place between the data-entry limits.

After switching on or resetting the display the kilometre total is displayed for ten seconds with “ KM”. In addition the word “ odo” appears. The ki- lometre total is counted in 100 metre steps upwards. The data is display- ed in whole kilometres, however.

In ad- dition, the volume and depth of oxygen that can be breathed in increa- ses (the vita l capa city). O ther posi ti ve changes take place i n the metab o- lism. In order to take advantage of these positive changes the training has to be planned according to certain guidelines. Intensity of training Intensity is regulated in training with the home trainer firstly by means of the pedalling cadence and secondly by the resistance to pedalling. The trainee determines the resistance to pedalling using a ten-speed shift. It is important never to set too severe a level of intensity and to avoid exces- si ve exer ti on. Incorrect or excessi ve trai ni ng can lea d to health prob lems. Accordingly, use your pulse rate to check while training whether you have correctly set the intensity of training. A rule of thumb for a suitable pulse rate is: 180 – age in years which means that, say, a fifty-year-old person should plan his or her sta- mina training around a pulse rate of 1 30. Re c o m m e n d a t i o n s f o r t r a i n i n g b a s e d o n t h e s e c a l c u l a t i o n s a r e r e g a r d e d as desirable by many recognised authorities on sports medicine. As such, you should set the p edalli ng cad ence and the resi stance to peda l- ling according to the rule of thumb mentioned above. Note that these recommendations apply to healthy person and not to people suffering from cardiovascular disease! Exertion Th e b e g i n n er sh o ul d i n cr e a se t he sev er i ty o f h i s o r h er t r a i n i n g o n l y g r a - dually. The first training units should be relatively short and should take the form of interval training sessions.

Tr aining for the beginner should be planned along the following lines: To document your personal training you can enter the training data you have achieved in the performance table. Before and after each training unit a five-minute session of callisthenics serves as a warm-up or cool down. One day should be left free between every two training sessions if later you prefer to train three times weekly for 20-30 minutes. Otherwise there is nothing against daily training.

After the recovery button has been pressed the automatic measurement of pulse rate recovery is started. The current pulse rate is indicated on the lower right hand side. In the main display the numbers count down from

0.60 to 0.00.. All other read-outs are switched off.

Tw o values are calculated for the pulse rate, P1 at the beginning of mea- suri ng and P2 after one minute. To obtain the fitness mark the following conditions must be met

1. P1 is less than P2 (P1-P2 is negative)

2. The value in the bracket is greater than 5.0

If at the end of measuring there is no pulse signal [P2 measurement) then a flashing “E” appears in the central display. If the signal drops out at the beginning of counting back (P1 measurement) then the countdown is not started. 6 Training

6.1 Display during training

During training the data of the lower displays in scan mode (automatic change of read-out) are shown for five seconds each in the central dis- play. The data is shown in the following order DISTAN CE > KILOJO ULES> TIME > KM >KM/ H >PULSE >RPM . etc. (continuous) If the SET button is pressed the “ ?” display goes out and the user can call up the other read-outs in the main display by pressing the + or – button.

6.2 Interruption of training/ end of training

Tr aining comes to an end when no revolutions are counted or the “reco- very” button is pressed. After four minutes without any button being pressed and without any re- volutions being detected the display switches off. All training data is lost. 7 Training instruction Th i s h o me t r a i n e r h a s b e en sp e ci a l l y d e ve l o p e d f o r t he a ma t eu r sp o r t s- man or woman. It is particularly well-suited to cardiovascular training. Training should be planned methodically according to the principles of training for stamina. This produces alterations and adaptations of the car- diovascular system. Among these are the lowering of resting pulse rate and pulse rate under exertion.

The com- puter is fitted with two batteries. Change the batteries like this: ■ Take off the battery cover and replace the old batteries with two new AA 1.5 V batteries. ■ Make sure you follow the identification on the bottom of the battery compartment to put the batteries in the right way round. ■ If the computer doesn‘t work properly when you switch on again take the batteries out for a moment and then put them back in. Important: The guarantee does not cover worn-out batteries. You should no longer put used batteries in domestic w aste. Plea se do y our bit for the environment a nd return y our ba t- teries to the trade or to the local authority pick -up point so tha t the collected ba tteries ca n be properly disposed of or re- cy cl e d in a n en v ir o n m en t- f r ie n d ly w a y.

Handling the equipment ? Before using the equipment for exercise, check carefully to en- sure that it has been correctly assembled. ? Before beginning your first training session, familiarize yourself thoroughly with all the functions and settings of the unit. ? It is not recommended to use or store the apparatus in a damp room as this may cause it to rust. Please ensure that no part of the machine comes in contact with liquids (drinks, perspiration etc.). This may cause corrosion. ? The machine is designed for use by adults and children should not be allowed to play with it. Children at play behave unpre- dictably and dangerous situations may occur for which the ma- nufacturer cannot be held liable. If, in spite of this, children are allowed to use the equipment, ensure that they are instructed in its proper use and supervised accordingly. ? The exercise cycle complies with the DIN EN 957 - 1/5, class HB. It is therefore unsuitable for therapeutic use. ? A slight production of noise at the bearing of the centrifugal mass is due to the construction and has no negative effect upon operation. Possibly occurring noise during reverse pedalling re- sult from engineering and are absolutely safe. ? Do not use corrosive or abrasive materials to clean the equip- ment. Ensure that such materials are not allowed to pollute the environment. ? The exercise cycle has a magnetic brake system. ? To operate correctly, the pulse function requires a minimum vol- tage of 2,7 volts (only for computers working with batteries). ? The equipment is dependent of revolutions per minute. ? Please ensure that liquids or perspiration never enter the ma- chine or the electronics. ? Before use, always check all screws and plug-in connections as well as respective safety devices fit correctly. ? Always wear suitable shoes when using. ? All electric appliances emit electromagnetic radiation when in operation. Please do not leave especially radiation-intensive appliances (e.g. mobile telephones) directly next to the cockpit or the electronic controlsystem as otherwise values displayed might be distorted (e.g. pulse measurement). ? The product is not suitable for use by persons weighing over 150 kg. Assembly Instructions GB5 Instructions de montage
