B R E M S H E Y F I T Screw the pedals into the threads of the crank arms. Screw the left pedal (marked L for left-hand thread) into the left crank arms. Use the wrench and rotate it counterclockwise. Screw the right pedal (marked R for right-hand thread) tightly clockwise into the right crank arm. Now attach the pedal straps to the pedals. EXERCISING If the product is not stable, adjust the stabilizing screws under the rear support appropriately. EXERCISE LEVEL Working out using an exercise cycle 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 pedaling. 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. You should start slowly at a low pedaling speed and low resistance, because strenuous exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance and pedaling speed can be increased gradually. Exercise efficiency can be measured by monitoring the pulse. The pulse meter helps you monitor your pulse easily during exercise, and thus to ensure that the exercise is sufficiently effective but not overstrenuous. 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. Fit’s meter calculates your approximate maximum pulse level using the following formula: 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.

The heart rate is measured in three ways: A) Using the handgrip heart rate sensors B) Using an ear clip with cable (available as an optional extra) C) Using a chest strap (wireless, telemetric), optional The chest strap and receiver/adapter are available as optional extras. Do not use more than one measuring system at the same time.

MEASURING PULSE WITH HAND SENSORS

Fit 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 hand6 O W N E R ' S M A N U A L

B R E M S H E Y F I T 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 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.G B

Press Enter to select console functions. When you have finished an entry, press Enter to confirm your entry and move to the next function.

These buttons are used to set values for the Time, Distance, Calories and Pulse functions. The console must be in the Stop function. If you are not training, the symbol P automatically appears at the top left of the display. Values are always set from zero upwards in increments of 1. If you press and hold the button, the value changes rapidly. If the set value is too high, press the Reset button briefly to reset the value to zero again.

Press this button briefly to reset the values for the current function. Pressing and holding the button will reset values for all functions. Only the total distance will be saved.

When you have finished training, press this button to begin recovery pulse measurement. FUNCTIONS

The rotations of the crank arm are shown on the display. The display changes between the rotations per minute (rpm) and the speed (km/h) every 6 seconds. The speed is displayed up to 99.9 km/h.

The training time counts upward, starting at 00:00, and runs to 99:99 minutes. Then the time begins again at 00:00. The colon (:) blinks once per second.

The distance is displayed in kilometers (km) and, if not preset, counts upward from 0.00 to 99.99 in increments of 0.01 kilometers. If the distance is preset, this function counts down to 0.00 km. The total distance is added from all training sessions and shown on the display if the current data have not been erased using the Reset button. The total distance is only erased when the batteries are replaced.

Calories can be set to count up or down just like time or distance and are calculated during training. A maximum of 9999 calories are displayed per training session. NOTES ON MEASURING CALORIES: In this unit, energy consumption is calculated based on average values. Only the revolutions are used to calculate the values. However, as each person has different capabilities for producing energy (known as efficiency), the energy consumption displayed can, by necessity, only be an approximation of the actual consumption and cannot be used for therapeutic purposes. The energy consumption during a training session is displayed in kcal (kilocalories). To convert this into joules, use this formula: 1 kcal = 4.187 kJ.

Values are set just like before for time and distance. Before the console can display the pulse rate or the pulse ranges, it needs at least 10 seconds for calculation purposes. The automatic display changing function switches off when you press the Enter button to enter values. When you start training, the SCAN function is activated again. Then, one of the functions is shown in the top field of the display using large numbers, alternating every 6 seconds. The room temperature is automatically shown on the display in the Sleep mode.8 O W N E R ' S M A N U A L

B R E M S H E Y F I T INPUT SEQUENCE When training with preset values or with the pulse rate ranges, the sequence is as follows: The SCAN function must not be active. The symbol P appears on the display. Use the Enter button to select the Time function. If you leave the setting at 00:00, the time will count up during training. If you select a time using the Set button, the time will count down. Confirm the entry using the Enter button. The console will switch to the next function. The input sequence here is just like what you did for the time. Confirm the entries using the Enter button and start training. GENERAL INFORMATION: You cannot operate the unit until you insert the batteries into the console. If you have set several functions to count down, a signal sounds when the first function reaches zero. If you continue training, the function automatically begins counting upward from zero. If there is no input or you are not training, the console automatically switches to the Sleep mode after four minutes.

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.
