Installing the control unit

1. Loading backup batteries

• The battery case cover is on the

back of the control unit. You can
open the cover by sliding off.

• Load batteries (size AAA x 2) in

the battery case as shown in the
diagram. Make sure the polarity is
right, and close the case.

Note: The Model EC-1600

Cateye Ergociser™ uses bat-
teries for memory mainte-
nance so that the date in the
machine's memory is always
correct even when the main
power supply is turned off.
These batteries will last two
years under conditions of nor-
mal use. When the battery
symbol             lights up on the
liquid crystal screen, replace
batteries as soon as possible. If
you keep the main power sup-
ply of the exerciser turned on
when you replace batteries,
there will be no interruption
in the machine's memory.

ment (physical fitness test) pro-
gram, you can change the internal
tables by which your strength is
judged.
