Operation Manual

To reach and maintain a basic fitness level, exercise at least three times a week, 30

minutes at a time. Increase the number of exercise sessions to improve your fitness

level. It is worthwhile to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A person

committed to dieting should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes or less at a time,

gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour. Start your workout at low

speed and low resistance to prevent the cardiovascular system from being subjected

to excessive strain. As the fitness level improves, speed and resistance can be

increased gradually. The efficiency of your exercise can be measured by monitoring

your heart rate and your pulse rate.

Gradually increase speed and resistance according to your own condition. Keep your

head up and neck long in order to avoid stress on your neck, shoulders and back.

Keep your back straight. Make sure that your feet are centered on the foot pedals

and that your hips, knees, ankles and toes are facing forward. Keep your body weight

centered over your lower body regardless of whether you lean forward or stand

upright. Stop your workout by gradually decreasing speed and resistance.

Remember to stretch at the end of the workout.

Pulse rate measurement (hand pulse sensors)

The pulse rate is measured by sensors in the handlebars when the user is touching

both sensors at the same time. Accurate pulse measurement requires that the skin is

slightly moist and constantly touching the hand pulse sensors. If the skin is too dry or

too moist, the pulse rate measurement will become less accurate.

NOTE

– Do not use the hand pulse sensors in combination with a heart rate

chest belt.

– If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound

when it is exceeded.

Heart rate measurement (heart rate chest belt)

The most accurate heart rate measurement is achieved with a heart rate chest belt.

The heart rate is measured by a heart rate receiver in combination with a heart rate

transmitter belt. Accurate heart measurement requires that the electrodes on the

transmitter belt are slight moist and constantly touching the skin. If the electrodes are

too dry or too moist, the heart rate measurement will become less accurate.
