USE

ADJUSTING THE REAR SUPPORT

Fix the adjustment screw on the rear support prior to using the equipment; this ensures that the equipment stands solidly on its base. Position the exercise cycle to the where you intend to use it. Never forget to protect the base from possible scratching. Unlock the adjustment screw by turning the locking ring anti-clockwise, and then turn the adjustment screw clockwise; it is now in its initial position. Turn the adjustment screw anti-clockwise until the rubber pad touches the floor. Lock the adjustment screw by turning the locking ring clockwise, carefully step on the cycle and make sure that it is stable.

CORRECT EXERCISING POSITION

The seat height should be set so that the middle part of the foot reaches the pedal with the leg almost straight and the pedal at its lowest point. To raise or lower the seat, first turn the locking knob counterclockwise, then pull the locking knob out so that the seat tube can be moved freely up and down. When the height is right, let go of the knob. The seat locks into place. Tighten the locking knob clockwise. To adjust the horizontal seat position forward and back, loosen the locking screws under the seat. You can also adjust inclination from here.

NOTE! Always make sure that the locking screws under the seat are properly fastened before starting to exercise.

NOTE! Always make sure that the locking knob is fastened properly before starting to exercise.

ADJUSTING THE HANDLEBAR

Loosen the grey adjustment knob at the handlebar support tube and adjust the handlebar distance so that you can pedal with the arms almost straight in comfortable position. The design of the handlebar allows you to exercise either in an upright position or with the upper body leaning forward. Remember, however, always to keep your back straight. Retighten the adjustment knob.

ADJUSTING PEDALLING RESISTANCE

To increase or decrease resistance, turn the adjustment knob at the top of the handlebar support tube clockwise (+ direction) to increase resistance and counterclockwise (- direction) to decrease resistance. The scale above the knob (1-8) helps you find and reset a suitable resistance.

EXERCISING

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 pedalling. 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 pedalling speed and low resistance, because for an overweight person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance and pedalling 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 over-strenuous.

F 330 comes with exercise gear that makes your training options really versatile. The enclosed guidebook provides tips for exercising with the equipment.

METER

NOTE! Protect the meter from direct sunlight, as it may damage the liquid crystal display. Protect the meter from water and avoid severe impacts, as these may also damage the meter. Never lean on the meter!

The meter switches on automatically when you start pedalling or press any key on the meter, and switches off when you have not pedalled or pressed a key for about 4 minutes. The readings accumulated during your workout will be automatically reset when the meter is switched off. You can also reset the readings by pressing the RESET key.

METER KEYS

SET: Select the function to be preset.

RESET: Reset all the displays to zero.

+: Press to increase the preset values of TIME, KM /MILES (DISTANCE), KCAL or PULSE.

- : Press to reduce the preset values of TIME, KM/MILES (DISTANCE), KCAL or PULSE.

DISPLAYS

SPEED

Displays the current speed in MPH, km/h, or RPM (0-99)

KCAL

Displays an estimate of kilocalories consumed (0-999.9). This is an approximate calculation.

PULSE

Displays the pulse value during exercise (40-220 bpm). The heart symbol beside the reading fl ashes in time with the user's heartbeat. The pulse value will start fl ashing when the pulse limits are exceeded.

NOTE! Pulse is measured by sensors in the

handlebars. Pulse is measured when the user of F 330 / E 340 is touching both sensors simultaneously. Reliable pulse measurement requires that the skin is constantly touching the sensors and that the skin is slightly moist. Too dry or too moist skin weakens the reliability of hand pulse measurement.

NOTE! The E 340 meter has a heart rate receiver compatible with Polar equipment, so you can also use Polar uncoded heart rate belts for heart rate measurement.

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 fi eld around them which will cause problems in heart rate measurement.

KM / MILES (DISTANCE)

Displays the distance traveled in miles or in kilometers (0-99.9).

TIME

Displays the elapsed time of the exercise session (00:00-99:59). If TIME is not preset, it will count up in one-second increment.

WATT (E 340 METER)

Shows the effort in watts (0-995). Exercising at the correct level is important, as is exercising at the correct pulse level. If you exercise at too low an effort level for your fitness level, you will not necessarily achieve the desired results even if you exercise regularly. With this function you can easily monitor your effort level during workout.

SELECTING SPEED AND

UNIT OF DISTANCE

You can select the unit to be displayed on the meter by the switch on the bottom of the battery casing. Open the lid of the battery casing at the back of the meter housing. There are two switches on the bottom of the battery casing - one for selecting either kilometers or miles as the unit of distance, and the other for selecting either pedalling revolutions per minute or km/h or mph. Change the position of the switch and push the lid of the battery casing back into place. Press RESET to confirm.

HOW THE PRESET TIME, DISTANCE,

CALORIE AND PULSE:

Press SET key until the window which is going to be preset is flashing. Press + or - until desired number is displayed.

Press SET key until you return to the main to the main display and start the exercise. The monitor will begin to count down.

The preset value will start flashing to indicate the completion of workout.

With the F 330 / E 340 meter you can set both an upper and lower pulse limit, which helps you to keep within the desired pulse range during your workout. The pulse value will start flashing when the pulse limits are exceeded.

MEASUREMENT OF RECOVERY PULSE

Measure your recovery pulse rate at the end of the workout. 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. Press + and - keys simultaneously until the display moves to the recovery pulse measuring mode. The measurement takes two minutes, during which the elapsed time and the heart rate are displayed. Try not to move during the measurement. At the end of the period the recovery ratio percentage are displayed. The smaller the reading the fi tter you are. Note that results are dependent on the starting pulse level, they are individual and not directly comparable with those of others. Return to the main display by pressing the RESET key.

TOTAL EXERCISE VALUES

Information about the total exercise distance and time is stored in the meter's memory. To view the details, keep the SET and RESET keys simultaneously pressed down for 2 seconds. Please note that the RESET key resets all the other values displayed. Press RESET to exit.

MAINTENANCE

The equipment requires very little maintenance. Check, however, from time to time that all screws and nuts are tight. Clean the cycle with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents.

NOTE! Never remove the protective covers.

NOTE! The brake forms a magnetic field which may damage the mechanism of a watch or the magnetic identification tape of a credit or cash card if they come into immediate contact with the

magnets. Never attempt to detach or remove the magnet fork of the magnetic brake.

If you notice a malfunction during use, contact the dealer. Always give the model and serial number of your device, please state also the nature of the problem conditions of use and purchase date. In spite of continuous quality control, individual defects and malfunctions may occur in individual components. It is in most cases unnecessary to take the whole cycle for repair, as it is usually sufficient to replace the defective part.

CHANGING BATTERIES

If the meter display shows low battery symbol or fades considerably, change the batteries. Detach the lid of the battery casing at the back of the meter and remove the old batteries. Place the new batteries in the holder (4 x 1.5 V AA) and push the battery casing lid back into place.

TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

The cycle is easy to move by pushing along on the integrated transport wheels. Tilt the cycle from the front and push along the floor on the wheels at the front support. To prevent malfunctioning of the cycle, store in a dry place with as little temperature variation as possible, protected from dust.
