1. Functions of the buttons
• Advance Button ( AV )
It makes the program proceed. Each time you press this button, the display
advances in the order as Fig. 1.
• Mode Button ( MD )
It is used in two ways.
a) In the "Initial Display", each press of this button advances the mode
and the figure to be modified blinks in the order as Fig. 2.
b) In the "In-Exercise Display", each press of this button converts the
screen alternately as Fig. 3.
• Set Buttons (SET)
In the "Initial Display", each button serves to change the blinking numeri-
cal value in each selected mode.
+
Button.... Each press increases the numerical value by 1, and when
held down, it increases rapidly.
–
Button.... Each press decreases the numerical value by 1, and when
held down it decreases rapidly.
• Target Pulse On/Off Button ( TP )
Each time you press this button, the () mark is switched on or off. When
the mark is lit up on the screen, the buzzer warns you if your pulse rate is
out of the target pulse rate by more than
±
5 bpm . When the mark is not lit
up on the screen, the buzzer doesn't function and you can exercise freely
unconcerned with the target pulse rate zone.

pulse rate.)
Special functions of buttons
• "All Clear" Function
When new batteries are loaded, or when abnormal signal is received due to
electrostatic trouble, etc., the screen may show abnormal displays. In such
a case, first hold down the set buttons +- and the mode button M
simultaneously, then press the advance button A . The screen first turns to
"No-Display" state, then it displays all the readings for 2 seconds. Finally
it returns to the "No-Display" state.
• Recovery Function
If you press the advance button A by mistake during exercise, making the
screen turn to "No-Display" state, press any of the other buttons, except the
advance button A , within 10 seconds. The screen recalls the previous
"In-Exercise Display" state.
• Memory Function
In the "No-Display", if you hold down the mode button M and press the
advance button A , the data that was set for your last exercise can be
recalled. This function is useful when you can use the unit exclusively and
want to repeat the same exercise program.
*This function becomes effective 10 seconds after the unit is turned off.

2. Workload Shift Lever and Work Rate
Work rate (watt) is determined by the position of the workload shift
lever, and your pedal cadence. (Fig. 4). To get the desired work rate
during exercise, first adjust it roughly by the workload shift lever,
then precisely by changing your pedal cadence. The workload can be
shifted to 8 positions, 1 is the easiest and 8 is the heaviest. Each posi-
tion of the workload shift lever is identified by the mark displayed
on the screen. The following table shows work rate (watt) correspond-
ing to each workload shift lever position, and the pedal cadence.

3. Pulse Sensor Handling
• Attach the pulse sensor to either earlobe, right or left. Clip it firmly
to the center of the earlobe. Be sure to remove any earring or the like
from your earlobe. (Fig. 5)
• When it is cold, rub your earlobe before attaching the pulse sensor,
to facilitate the blood circulation.
• Try not to change the position of the earlobe sensor during exercise.
• If the error mark lights up frequently, remove the pulse sensor
and attach it again correctly.
• If the pulse sensor is pulled excessively, the cable can be damaged or
short-circuited. Treat the pulse sensor with care.
• When the pulse sensor is not in use, always clip it to the sensor clip.
Hold the pulse sensor cable with the cable clip, adjusting the slack of
the pulse sensor cable.
Checking the pulse sensor
1) In the "In-Exercise" state, close the pulse sensor; putting nothing in
between.
The mark lights up on the screen, and the pulse rate readings
show "0" bpm ----- Normal
When the pulse sensor cable is pulled, the mark blinks ----- The
sensor cable is about to be broken.
The mark doesn't light up ----- The pulse sensor cable is
broken.
2) The mark blinks even when the pulse sensor is attached to your
earlobe. ----- The pulse sensor cable is short-circuited.
1 Workload Shift Position Mark
Indicates the position of the workload shift lever
2 Pulse Sensor "OK" Mark
Indicates that the pulse sensor functions properly.
3 "Error" Mark
Appears when the pulse rate jumps up or down
abnormally, or when the pulse sensor is not attached to
your earlobe properly.
4 Mode Mark
Indicates the mode in display.
PLL --- Upper-Limit Pulse Rate
TPL --- Target Pulse Rate
AGE -- Age of the user
5 Pulse Mark
Flickers synchronized with the pulse
6 Target Pulse Rate On/Off Mark
When this mark is on, the buzzer functions to signal
when your pulse rate is out of the target pulse rate zone.
7 Unit Mark
Indicates the unit of the display figure.
8 Battery Alarm Mark
Indicates that the battery power has exhausted.
• Before starting exercise, set the workload shift
lever to the following standard level in accor-
dance with your age and sex.
