Frequently Asked Questions - Avior M KETTLER

How to start a quick workout without settings?

Press any button to turn on the display. Start pedaling. The values (time, distance, energy) appear in increasing counter. You can adjust the resistance by turning the brake knob.

How to set a program with goals (time, distance, calories)?

From the 'Training availability' display, press the 'preset value range' button (the symbol). Enter successively the desired time (minutes), distance (km or miles) and energy (kcal or kJ) using the '+' and '-' buttons, confirming each value with the 'range' button. Then start pedaling: the counters count down to zero.

How to measure my pulse using the handlebar sensors?

Grip both contact surfaces (sensors) on the handlebars firmly with both hands. Maintain continuous contact without moving your hands. The heart symbol flashes with each beat. The heart rate is displayed in bpm. Avoid releasing and regripping the handlebars frequently.

What to do if the screen shows 'Err' after pressing RECOVERY?

The 'Err' error indicates that the pulse was not detected during the 60-second measurement. Make sure the handlebar sensors are well contacted or that the chest strap is correctly placed. Try again by pressing RECOVERY again.

How to reset the computer?

Press and hold the 'Reset' button (more than 2 seconds). This clears the current training values and resets the display to zero. After a battery change, a reset may be necessary for proper operation.

How to use the recovery function (Recovery Check)?

At the end of the workout, press the > RECOVERY button. The screen displays 'Recovery Check' and measures your pulse for 60 seconds (countdown). Then a 'Fitness Score' (rating from 1.0 to 6.0) appears, indicating your physical condition. The rating disappears after 20 seconds.

How to change the batteries?

Remove the battery compartment cover (on the back of the display). Replace used batteries with new batteries of the same type (not specified, probably 2 AA batteries). Note: the total hours and kilometers are lost when changing batteries.

What to do if the display freezes or shows incorrect values?

Press and hold the Reset button (more than 2 seconds) to reset the computer. If the problem persists, check the batteries (replace them) and make sure all contacts are clean. If the defect persists, contact KETTLER customer service.

What is the recommended training frequency for a beginner?

Beginners should start with 2 to 3 sessions per week, with sessions of 10 to 20 minutes. Follow the progressive training table (example: 1st week: 3x/week, 2 minutes of effort interspersed with 1 minute breaks). Gradually increase duration and intensity.

How to maintain the bike to ensure its safety and longevity?

Place the device on a stable, dry floor. Before first use, and then every 6 days of use, check the tightening of all fastenings. Immediately replace damaged parts with original KETTLER parts. Do not use in a humid room (risk of corrosion). Clean with a soft cloth.

General instructions

System signals

Activation of the device

If you activate the device, a signal is emitted during the segment test.

Presetting

A short signal is emitted, if you reach a presetting like time, distance and KJoule/kcal.

Exceeding of maximum pulse

If the set maximum pulse is exceeded by one pulse beat, two short signals are emitted for the time of exceedance.

Recovery

Calculation of the fitness mark (F):

$$ \operatorname{mark} (\mathbf {F}) = 6. 0 - \left(\frac {1 0 \times (P 1 - P 2)}{P 1}\right) ^ {2} $$

P1 stress pulse P2 = recovery pulse

F1.0 = very good F6.0 = insufficient

Calculation of average value

The calculations of the average values refer to training units in the past until a reset or the sleep mode.

Instructions for pulse measurement

The pulse measurement starts as soon as the heart in the display blinks in time with your pulse beat.

With hand pulse

An extra-low voltage caused by the contractions of your heart is registered by the hand sensors and evaluated by the electronics assembly of the device.

• Always grab the contact faces with both hands.
- Avoid jerky grasping.
- Hold your hands calmly and avoid contractions and rubbing on the contact faces.

With Chest strap

Observe the relevant instructions.

Malfunctions or erroneous readings

After inserting the batteries, and in disorders or false readings press the "button for longer (Reset).

Training Instructions

Sports medicine and training science use cycle ergometry, among other things, for the examination of the functional capability of heart, circulation and respiratory system.

You can find out whether or not you have achieved the desired effect from your training after several weeks using the following method:

1. You manage a particular endurance performance with less heart / circulation performance than previously
2. You sustain a particular endurance performance with the same heart / circulation performance over a longer period.
3. You recover more quickly than previously after a particular heart / circulation performance.

Guide values for the endurance training

Maximum pulse: maximum strain means the reaching of the individual maximum pulse. The maximum achievable heart rate is dependant on age.

Here, the following empirical formula applies: the maximum heart rate per minute corresponds to 220 heart beats minus age in years.

Example: age 50 years -> 220 - 50 = 170 pulse / min.

Load Intensity

Load pulse: the optimum intensity of load is reached at 65–75% (see also diagram) of the maximum pulse. This value changes depending on age.

Extent Of Load

Duration of a training unit and its frequency per week: The optimum extent of load is attained, if 65–75% of the individual heart / circulation performance is achieved over a longer period.

Empirical Formula:

Training frequency Duration of training

daily 10 minutes

2–3 times a week 20–30 minutes
1–2 times a week 30–60 minutes

Beginners should not begin with training units of 30-60 minutes.

The beginner's training can be planned as follows in the first 4 weeks:

Training frequency Extent of training session

1st week

3 times a week 2 minutes of training
Break of 1 minute for physical exercises
2 minutes of training
Break of 1 minute for physical exercises
2 minutes of training

2nd week

3 times a week 3 minutes of training
Break of 1 minute for physical exercises
3 minutes of training
Break of 1 minute for physical exercises
2 minutes of training

3rd week

3 times a week 4 minutes of training
Break of 1 minute for physical exercises
4 minutes of training
Break of 1 minute for physical exercises
3 minutes of training

4th week

3 times a week 5 minutes of training
Break of 1 minute for physical exercises
4 minutes of training
Break of 1 minute for physical exercises
4 minutes of training

It is recommended that you perform approx. 5 minutes of exercises before and after every training unit, in order to warm up and cool down. There should be a training-free day between each two consecutive training units, if you prefer training sessions of 20-30 minutes 3 times a week later on in your training. Otherwise, there is no reason why you should not train daily.
