ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE

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: Trend-s.indd 6Trend-s.indd 6 27.9.2005 15:55:4827.9.2005 15:55:48GB

TREND–S 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 heart- rate. Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes long-endurance workouts.

MEASURING PULSE WITH HAND SENSORS

Explorer measures pulse with sensors which are located in the hand supports and which measure the pulse each time the user touches both sensors simultaneously. For reliable pulse measurement, the skin must be in continuous contact with the sensors and the skin in contact with the sensors should be slightly moist. Too dry or too moist skin will impair hand pulse measurement. Please note also that active use of the upper body muscles during exercise may interfere with hand pulse measurement: active muscles transmit similar electronic signals as the heart muscle. Therefore, we recommend that arms be kept relaxed during pulse measurement.

EAR PULSE MEASUREMENT

1. Fit the ear sensor wire plug into the connecting

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 1,5 m. 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 Trend-s.indd 7Trend-s.indd 7 27.9.2005 15:55:5027.9.2005 15:55:508 OWNER'S MANUAL

TREND–S 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. CONSOLE The console switches on automatically after you insert the batteries. At other times, you can switch on the console by pressing any key. You can now start entering the data for you workout. If the unit is not used for a period of time, the console automatically switches mode to display the time and the temperature. KEY FUNCTIONS

To adjust individual values MODE If you press this key once briefly, the console switches to the next function. If you press and hold down the key, the console skips the previous functions and switches directly to the user memory. P1 - P9 appear in the display. RECOVERY To enable or disable recovery heart rate measurement (fitness index). RESET If you press this key once briefly, the current function is deleted. If you press and hold down the key, all functions are deleted. The data in the user memory is retained. NOTE: If the batteries are removed, all data is deleted, including memory data and the time. FOLLOW THESE STEPS: Press and hold the Reset key until all values are deleted and the hour starts flashing. There is an audible signal. If necessary use the +/- keys to set the hour (1-24). Press the Mode key and adjust the minutes if necessary. Press the Mode key. "ALM", short for alarm, starts flashing in the display. Use the +/- key to enable/disable the alarm. If the alarm is enabled, a bell appears in the display. Press the Mode key. You can change the alarm time as described above. Press the Mode key. P1, short for Person 1, appears in the display. Use the +/- keys to select user 1 - 9. Press the Mode key. Use the +/- keys to choose male or female (gender). Press the Mode key. Use the +/- keys to select the user’s age. Press the Mode key. Now enter the user's weight. If you now press the Mode key, the values are saved. To enter data for other users, you can access the user memory directly by pressing and holding down the Mode key for five seconds. This skips the time input and "4P" appears in the display. Now follow the steps described above. When you have entered the user's weight, confirm by pressing Mode. The display now switches to workout mode. If you now start your workout immediately, timing starts and the current countup values appear in the display. To exercise in training mode while counting down (towards zero) the time, calories or distance, do not start your workout after entering the weight, but press the Mode key twice instead. The time field starts flashing in the display, and the bottom left of the display alternates between RPM (revolutions per minute), CAL (calories) and Distance. The rectangular bar indicates the function currently being displayed). Use the +/- keys to enter the workout time. Select the other functions as required in the same way. If more than one countdown function is used, the audible signal is sounded for the function that reaches zero first. If you carry on with the workout, the relevant counter automatically starts counting up again from zero. To display heart rate ranges during the workout, press the Mode key again after the "Distance" function. The display shows the age entered for the selected user program P1 - P9. Without altering the user memory, you can use the +/- keys to change the age, and therefore also the age-based heart rate. Start your workout without pressing any other keys. The time starts to count down/up and the current heart rate is displayed. NOTE: The console needs to calculate for about 10 seconds before it can display the current heart rate or heart rate ranges. The console determines a suitable maximum heart rate on the basis of the age. Trend-s.indd 8Trend-s.indd 8 27.9.2005 15:55:5027.9.2005 15:55:50GB

TREND–S You can now start training without pressing any other keys. When you start your workout, the display switches from the predefined heart rate to the current heart rate. Next to the current heart rate, a percentage indicates how close you are to the maximum heart rate while exercising. Example: If you want to train at 75%, but the current heart rate percentage is lower or higher than this, you need increase or decrease the amount of effort in order to increase or reduce your heart rate. To do this, either change the resistance or the RPM. To change the resistance, use the adjustment knob on the handlebar support. If you want to use reference values other than the preset values, watch your current heart rate and not the percentage value. TRAINING QUICK START You can start training without any pre-selections. Start training, the console will be automatically activated. Adjust the resistance level during training with adjustment knob. The console will continually follow your training progress.

TRAINING WITH TARGET VALUES

You can set target values for your training. Press MODE when the console is in training mode to enter the target value setting. The selected value will blink on the display. TIME = set the desired training duration KCAL = set the desired energy consumption value DISTANCE = set the desired training distance AGE = set your age and the meter will give your calculated maximum pulse. You can use this information to adjust the exercise resistance level. If you have set the user information, the meter uses that age information. If you measure heartbeat rate during exercise, the meter will compare this value to the set maximum pulse value and will give your exercise pulse range as 55%, 75% and 90% (of the maximum pulse level). TAG screen indicates that your exercise pulse has reached the saved maximum pulse level. Set the desired value with the +/- keys. Confirm the set value and move to the next setting with MODE. After having set the desired target/s, start training. Adjust the resistance if needed. The target value/s will start counting down. The console blinks the set training value and gives an audio sign when the target is reached. You can continue the training, the values will now start cumulating. You can end the training and reset the display with RESET.

RECOVERY PULSE MEASUREMENT

Measure your recovery pulse after training. The measurement can only be started if the pulse measurement is activated and the pulse value is shown on the display.

1. Start the recovery pulse measurement by pressing

2. The measurement takes 60 seconds.

3. After the measurement is finished, the display

shows the result F1-F6 (F1 = best result). Please note that your results are in a relation to the pulse level in the beginning of the measurement, and that your results are personal and cannot directly be compared with any other person’s results. In order to improve the reliability of recovery pulse measurement, always try to standardize the measurement situation as accurately as possible; start measuring at the same heart rate level as precisely as possible.

4. To switch back to the main display by pressing

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.
