4. Start training
• When you have finished setting
training conditions, push the AD
button and start pedaling. The
screen display will change as shown
below, as time goes on.
• The automatic training, isopower
training and manual training pro-
grams all have a warm-up function.
Pedal resistance increases slowly
until you reach your target pulse
rate (Automatic training) or for the
first three minutes (all others).
While the warm-up function is oper-
ating, a WA symbol will remain
on the screen.
• By pushing the MO button, you
can switch the display from elapsed
time (TM min:sec) to calorie con-
sumption (EC Kcal).
5. At the end of training
• A buzzer will sound when the train-
ing time you have set is finished. If
you wish, you can continue training
even after this buzzer sounds.
• Whenever you want to stop train-
ing, before or after the buzzer
sounds, push the AD button once.
• The coo symbol appears on the
screen and the pedal resistance
drops to the minimum of 0.5 kg·m.
This is the cooling down function,
which lasts for a maximum of 5 min-
utes.
• At this stage review your workout
data such as time and calorie con-
sumption.
• Press AD button once again and
the program comes to the ultimate
end and the display turns to the ini-
tial state. (If you stay in the cool
down phase for the full five minutes,
the program ends automatically
with no need to press the AD but-
ton.)
• You should now understand how to
use the Model EC-1200 Cateye Er-
gociser
TM
. Once you get used to the
exerciser, you will probably want to
refer to the Operation section for
more detailed information on func-
tions, etc.

change according to the training
program.
Upper limit pulse rate is auto-
matically determined by your
age, so there is no need to set
this number yourself.
• Let's try changing the displayed tar-
get pulse rate from 120 to 115.
• Press the MO button until "120"
is flashing. You want to reduce the
number by five, so press the -
button five times. Has the number
changed to "115"?
• A card is a tool for setting program
choice and training conditions. A
card saves you the trouble of setting
the same training conditions every
time you use the exerciser. For in-
structions on how to make a card,
please refer to page 36, "How to
make a data card" in the Operation
section.
