5. THE OPERATION OF THE FITVIBE WITH
CHIPCARDS
If a chip card reader is installed in the fitvibe, this is shown, when the appliance is switched on, by the
following icon in the lower right-hand corner of the display window.
-
chip card reader
After pressing the combined turning-knob/press-button once, the “Insert Card” display screen appears.
Thus, the operator is now invited to insert the chip card.
The chip card reader (33) is mounted externally on the right-hand side of the control unit (6). The fitvibe
chip card must be inserted into the chip card reader (33) in the direction of the arrow until it gently clicks
into place. In this way, the chip is then situated on the side facing the fitvibe chip card reader.
The fitvibe chip card reader accepts two different types of personalised fitvibe chip cards:
•
the ICS chip card, on which the data is stored when using the Intelligent Chip card System (ICS)
or
•
the Timecard, which serves only to limit the active vibration time of the fitvibe appliance according
to a pre-programmed number of minutes.
The chip card reader automatically recognizes which type of chip card has been inserted and
automatically activates the corresponding operating software.
Two different error messages my appear on the ´“Insert Card” display:
•
chip card incorrectly inserted (not in the direction of the arrow or chip on the reverse side of the
card)
•
Incorrect PIN (card PIN does not correspond to the fitvibe appliance PIN).
Using a secret code number (PIN):
To prevent the unauthorized use of chip cards, the owner of the fitvibe can be protected by using his own
secret PIN.
For this purpose, a 4-digit PIN must be programmed on the chip cards and subsequently the same
PIN has to be inserted in the fitvibe appliance.
The selectable PIN can be a series of numbers between 0001 and 9999.
Important; The fitvibe chip cards, the fitvibe appliances, the ICS software and/ or the card charging device
are supplied with the default setting of 0000, so that they can be used immediately without PIN settings.
