Description of the control panel The numerical displays You can read the numerical values of the current exercise on the numerical displays: - power, expressed in Watts. The power displayed is the power produced by the user, within the tolerances specified in the equipment identity label. - heart rate, expressed in number of beats per minute. - speed, expressed in spm (strides per minute) or rpm (revolutions per minute), depending on the type of the equipment.
Description of the control panel The goal arc and dial The arc of LEDs lights up from left to right in time with the workout, until the set goal is reached. The LED corresponding to the current time/distance/calories portion blinks. The type of goal selected is lit up in the arc during the exercise. In the dial, the display of the numerical value for the selected goal, which proceeds incrementally, alternates with that of all the messages.
Quick start In standby, either start moving or press the key START. This kind of exercise is on a time increment basis; the age and weight values are predefined, i.e. 30 years and 70 kilograms. It starts at effort level 1. This exercise is performed at a constant torque and braking is independent of speed. The time is shown in the goal dial and arc as it increases; the LED for the current minute blinks in the arc. The keys for changing the effort level and the keys STOP and PAUSE are enabled.
Cool down At the end of each exercise and test, there is a cooling down stage at half the load of the exercise just completed. The workloads can be modified using the corresponding keys in the same way as during the exercise.
Goal driven exercises Press the GOAL keys in standby to select an exercise, in which the only parameter to set before starting is the total duration, in terms of time, calories to be burned or distance to cover. This exercise is performed at a constant torque and starts at effort level 1. Press the key for the selected goal. Type in the goal value with the number keys and then press ENTER to confirm and proceed. The exercise starts.
Goal driven exercises During the exercise the goal arc lights up proportionally from left to right until the entire set goal value has expired; the goal’s numerical value is shown in the goal dial as it increases and alternates with the display of the information on the unselected goal: i.e. how long ago the exercise started, how many calories have been burned and what distance has been covered.
Constant heart rate (CPR) exercise The constant heart rate exercise is very important in situations where specific heart rate levels have to be maintained. In the constant heart rate exercise the exercise workload is automatically adjusted to take the heart rate to the preselected level and keep it constant throughout the entire exercise duration. This type of exercise is at constant power and braking depends on the speed. The heart rate monitor is needed for the constant heart rate exercise.
Constant heart rate (CPR) exercise Type in the heart rate you want to maintain constantly throughout the workout with the number keys, then press ENTER to confirm and proceed. The exercise starts. During the exercise the goal arc lights up proportionally from left to right until the entire set goal value has expired; the goal’s numerical value is shown in the goal dial as it increases and alternates with the display of the information on the unselected goal: i.e.
The fitness test The fitness test is a sub-maximum test suitable for quite unfit or moderately fit users. You need to wear the heart rate monitor to perform the test; if there is no heart rate signal the test does not start. Press the key in standby. Type in the age with the number keys and then press ENTER to confirm and proceed. Type in the body weight with the number keys and then press ENTER to confirm and proceed.
The fitness test During the test the time is shown in the goal dial as it increases, and alternates with the display of the subsequent messages. While you are reaching the heart rate required for each step the goal arc stays switched off. On reaching the set heart rate, the goal arc lights up from left to right until all the step time expires. Only the STOP key is enabled, for cancelling the test. The test cannot be interrupted for a pause.
Profile workout With the key you can choose between: - six predefined profiles, non-modifiable; - nine personal profiles saved by the user. Predefined profiles The predefined profiles are variable workouts defined on the basis of one of three goals: time, distance or calorie consumption. The goal value is set in the programming stage and can be changed during the exercise with the corresponding keys.
Profile workout After having selected one of the profiles, select the goal and give the goal value: Press the key for the selected GOAL. Type in the goal value with the number keys and then press ENTER to confirm and proceed. Type in the age with the number keys and then press ENTER to confirm and proceed. Type in the body weight with the number keys and then press ENTER to confirm and proceed.

Performance index The performance index (PI) was invented by Technogym to give a concise and easily comparable assessment of performance in a workout. To have your performance index shown on the display with the other results at the end of the exercise, in any kind of workout, simply use the heart rate monitor for at least 3 minutes. The index is based on a rating scale ranging from 0 to 99. The higher the rating, the greater your aerobic capacity.
Workouts with the TGS key The TGS key reading device is optional. The TGS key does away with the need to enter your personal data and workout parameters each time you exercise, as all this information is saved in its memory. To start the exercise just slip the TGS key into its port; the display shows the user name, followed by the type of exercise specified in the workout program.
Workouts with the TGS key At any time, however, it will be possible to perform an exercise and save its results on the TGS key, even if this exercise was not included in the workout program (unless the use of the TGS key is disabled: see the Configuration menu section). - after inserting the TGS key into the reader, select the exercise with the control panel keys; - either this, or select the exercise with the control panel keys and then insert the TGS key into the reader during the workout or cool down.
