Use the UP / DOWN keys and ENTER to confirm. Press START/STOP to start the training. If target values have been entered (time, distance, calories burned), the machine will automati- cally stop when the first target value reaches 0 (countdown). Always press START/STOP to end the workout and return to standby mode. Programme profiles of the permanently stored programmes P1 to P10: NOTE The computer switches o automatically after 4 minutes if no signal is received. P1 Rolling P2 Valley P3 Fatburn P4 Ramp P5 Mountain P6 Interval P7 Cardio P8 Endurance P9 Slope P10 Rallye46 COMPUTER INSTRUCTIONS For the user-definable programmes (P11 to P15) you must also enter the resistance preset for each of the 10 segments using the UP / DOWN keys and ENTER to confirm. Once programmed, profiles are stored under the user IDs U1 to U5. For the watt-controlled programme (P16) a wattage must be specified. The unit will then automatically adjust the resistance during the training, depending on whether the power needs to be higher or lower. Programmes P17 to P20 are heart rate controlled programmes (a proper heart rate signal is mandatory). A target heart rate must be set. The device then attempts to automatically control the resistance according to the desired heart rate level. After selecting the appropriate mode, your age is asked:47

COMPUTER INSTRUCTIONS Set your correct age in years using the UP / DOWN keys and ENTER to confirm. The prompt does not appear when mode P20 is selected, as a target heart rate must be entered directly. However, in programmes P17 to P19 the target heart rate is calculated according to the following formula depending on your age: x% (e.g. 75%) x (220 - your age). Programme P17 calculates with 55%, P18 with 75% and P19 with 95%. After starting the programme, the resistance is automatically controlled during the workout and cannot be adjusted manually. In these modes, target values for time, distance or calorie consumption can be set additionally if required as well.48 Using a chest-belt The computer is equipped with a built-in receiver for the wireless receipt of the pulse freqeuncy with a compa- tible SKANDIKA chest-belt (frequency: 5.3 kHz, not included in the scope of delivery). Recommended range:

If you want to transmit your pulse frequency via chest-belt, follow these instructions:

1. Make sure, the correct battery is inserted into the chest belt (button cell of type CR-2032, 3 volts).

Battery replacement: Open the battery case cover on the back side of your transmitter (you may use a coin for easier handling) and replace the old battery by a tting new one. The „+“ symbol should point upwards. Make sure, the sealing ring ist correctly placed. Close the case cover properly.

2. The transmitter needs to be attached to the belt with the 2 buttons. Moisten the electrodes slightly before

wearing the belt. This increases the contact sensibility and enables a better wireless signal transmitting.

3. Put on the chest belt and make sure the electrodes are touching your breast directly. You may adjust the

belt to a comfortable length. However, the electrodes must have contact with your skin in order to measure your heart rate correctly.

4. The 5.3 kHz-chest-belt communicates with the computer via the built-in receiver. It may last up to one mi-

nute before a correct display can be seen. Safety hint: Do not use the chest-belt if you have a pacemaker, unless you double-checked with the producer of the pace- maker and with your doctor! Battery-Disposal: Batteries should not be considered as regular garbage. As consumer you are obliged to return nished batteries. The nished batteries can be returned to a collection base at your residential area or at places, where batteries can be bought.

WARM-UP and COOL-DOWN A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise and a cool-down. Exercise for at least two or preferably three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months, you may increase the frequency to four or five times per week. WARM-UP

This stage helps to improve the blood circulation and prepares the muscles for your workout. It additionally helps to reduce the risk of injury or cramps. It is recommended to do some stretching exercises as shown here below. Hold each stretching position for approximately 30 seconds. Never force or jerk yourself into a stretching posi- tion – if you feel pain, STOP immediately. Warm-up exercises may also include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope exercises or running in place. STRETCHING Muscles can be stretched more easily when these are warm. This reduces the risk of injury. DO NOT BOUNCE. Remember always to check with your physician before starting any exercise program. COOL-DOWN This stage helps to soothe your muscles and your cardiovascular system after your workout. At the end of your workout, reduce the speed and exercise for approximately 5 minutes at this lower speed level. Afterwards, repeat the warm-up exercises as described above.
