1. Strength evaluation table
• By using switches No.1 and 2 in the
aerobic power measurement (physi-
cal fitness test) program, you can
change the internal tables by which
your strength is judged.
• When the Model EC-1200 Cateye
Ergociser

2. Units for body weight
• Use select switch No.3 on the back
of the control unit to choose kilo-
grams or pounds as your unit of

CAUTION: When oxygen uptake
(VO
2
max) is estimated in the
aerobic power measurement
(physical fitness test) program,
body weight in kg is used. If you
mistakenly assume the unit for
body, the figure given for oxy-
gen uptake will be wrong by a
wide margin.

CAUTION: Handle the pulse
sensor with care. The cable
could break if strongly pulled.
Pulse sensor lenses need peri-
odic cleaning to remove sweat
and oil deposits from skin to
work efficiently. Wipe lenses
with soft dry cloth.
4. Installing the control unit
• Insert the cable connector into the
cable inlet on the back of the control
unit, and cover up the connector
with the connector cover.
CAUTION: Insert the cable con-
nector until it is firmly locked.
The control unit will not func-
tion properly with a partial or
faulty connection.
• Using the four screws provided,
mount the control unit on the han-
dlebar post.
• Insert the cable holder tip into the
upper smaller hole on the handlebar
post, to hold the cable in place.
5. Installing the pulse
sensor
• Insert the pulse sensor plug into the
pulse sensor jack on the back of the
control unit, and hang the sensor
cable on the cable hook.
• During training, use the sensor clip
to take up slack in the cable and
keep the cable from moving exces-
sively.
• When you are not using the pulse
sensor, attach it to the sensor clip.
• Attach the cable clip to your clothes
to keep the cable from swinging
around.
