If you prefer to wear it over a shirt, please moisten the shirt well under the electrodes: the contacts must be wet while you exercise. Take good care of the transmitter after you exercise. This helps to prolong the life of the electrodes and battery. 1. Wash the transmitter carefully with a mild soap-water solution. 2. Rinse with clean water. 3. Dry the transmitter carefully. FUNCTION KEYS MODE includes constant resistance, constant effort and constant heart-rate workouts. The user interface automatically starts from the constant resistance workout. Use the operation key SET to make settings and adjustments to the user interface options. PROG includes pre-programmed exercise profiles, memory positions for your self-designed exercise profiles and measurement of recovery pulse. REC AND OK Use the Rec key to save your own workouts. Press Rec before beginning the workout you wish to save. Press OK to confirm. RESET Press the Reset key for more than one second to display the cumulative values. Pressing Reset always resets the value on the display. SETTING KEYS -/ + Use the setting keys (-/+) to adjust resistance, effort and heart rate for the workout. 5 OWNER'S MANUAL • E 5 R 6 MAIN DISPLAY When you turn the meter on, the display shows the following exercise parameters: 1. EFFICIENCY (W) Figure indicates exercise efficiency in Watts, which depends on pedaling speed and resistance adjustment. 2. ENERGY CONSUMPTION (kcal / kJ) Displays cumulative energy consumption (0-999); default setting is kcal. 3 . SPEED (rpm / km/h / mph) Default setting is rpm (pedal revolutions / minute). 4. PULSE Heart rate transmitter belt or an ear sensor is required. If the meter does not receive a heart-rate signal, - - is displayed instead of the heart rate. NOTE! Always disconnect the ear sensor from the meter if using a heart rate transmitter belt; the ear sensor will interfere with the heart rate transmitter. 5. TIME Displays the exercise time elapsed between 0:00 -59:59 minutes and between 1:00 - 10:00 hours in 1 minute increments. Time display stops if speed falls to zero. 6. DISTANCE (km / miles) Default display setting is km. Displays the distance traveled during the workout in km (or miles) to two decimal points up to 9.99 km (or miles) and with one decimal point up to 99.9. FUNCTIONS ADJUSTING RESISTANCE Resistance in constant resistance workouts is adjusted with the - / + keys. The text SET and setting value are displayed when you adjust resistance. The meter returns to the main display 2 seconds after setting the value. RESET Press RESET to reset the values on the display. Cumulative training values are displayed by pressing RESET for more than one second. They remain on the display for as long as the key is pressed. MODE MODE includes constant resistance, constant effort and constant heart-rate workouts. In all workouts, one parameter is set as a constant, after which your exercise equipment automatically maintains the level. Constant heat-rate exercise requires your using the heart-rate measurement system. 1. Press MODE key to select the workout. RESISTANCE = constant resistance exercise at the same resistance level throughout. Faster pedaling means an increase in effort. WATT = constant effort exercise; the interface adjusts resistance automatically so the training effort set, e.g. 100 W, remains the same independent of pedaling rate. PULSE = constant heart-rate exercise; the interface adjusts effort automatically and keeps your heart-rate at the desired level, e.g. 120 beats per minute, independent of pedaling rate. 2. Set the target level with the - /+ keys. You can adjust the target level with the - / + keys during the workout whereupon the text SET and the setting value (Nm, W, heart rate) are displayed. The meter returns to the main display 2 seconds after setting the target value. PROG PROG includes pre-programmed exercise profiles, memory positions for self-designed profiles and measuring recovery pulse. The resistance level varies in a pre-determined way and has three options: Health = fitness improvement, Slim = weight control (HRC; requires heart-rate measurement), Fit = profile designed for the physically fit. The level of difficulty of the selected profile can be scaled from 1 to 9. Level 1 is the easiest and longest and level 9 the most challenging and shortest. A full description of the profiles is given at the end of these instructions. PRE-PROGRAMMED PROFILES (HEALTH, SLIM, FIT) 1. Press PROG until the desired profile (Health, Slim, Fit) appears on the display. Press OK to confirm. 2. Use the - / + keys to select the level (Level 1-9). Press OK to confirm. 3. Start pedaling to begin the workout. DESIGNING YOUR OWN EXERCISE PROFILES You can save three self-designed exercise profiles. Although the profile can be any of the MODE programs (Resistance, Watt, Pulse), the program cannot be changed during saving. A total of 30 changes can be saved in each profi...
