5.2 Operating the fitvibe appliance fitted with an ICS chipcard reader
The ICS chip cards bear the data for the self-designed training or treatment programme to be carried out
using the fitvibe appliance. For this purpose, the easyTrain fitvibe software, which has to be installed in
the computer, and the fitvibe card writer that goes with it are needed.
The procedure for using the easyTrain fitvibe software is explained in the accompanying operating
instructions.
When the ICS chip card has been read by the fitvibe appliance, the “Welcome” window appears on the
display screen
There, it is possible to select either, “Training/Treatment” or “Timecard Only”. If the ICS chip card has
been programmed for extra “Training/Treatment” time, it is possible to select “Timecard Only”. In this
case, the Main Menu appears on the display screen as described under Point 5.1. To continue, just follow
the procedure according to Point 4 of the operating instructions.
Under the menu item “Training/Treatment”, the serial number of the current exercise sequence and the
total number of treatment sequences contained in the ICS chip card programme are shown. In addition,
the designated title of the programme stored on the card is also displayed.
After selecting the menu item “Training/Treatment”, by pressing the turning-knob/press-button (11), the
first exercise is shown on the display screen. The vibration is activated by pressing the „start/stop“
button.
By means of the key “Skip forward” (10) it is possible to leave out exercises or, alternatively, to go back
and start exercise that have been left out by pressing the key “Skip back” (8).
Once an exercise has been skipped and a subsequent exercise started, the skipped exercises can no
longer be activated.
Example: The selected exercise sequence contains 6 exercises. The first exercise of the sequence has
been completed and the second and third exercises have been skipped. Once the fourth exercise has
been started, the second and third exercises can no longer be activated!
If the last exercise of the current exercise sequence is skipped inadvertently, the display screen shows
the message “End of Exercise Sequence”
