the required energy by burning body fat with the aid of
oxygen. This in turn leads to a reduction in fat tissue.
No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by
training at the right level of effort, and the best measure
is your own heart rate. First find your maximum heart
rate i.e. where the rate doesn’t increase with added
effort. If you don’t know your maximum heart rate,
please use the following formula as a guide:
2 08 – 0,7 X AG E
The maximum varies from person to person. The
maximum heart rate diminishes on average by one
point per year. If you belong to one of the risk groups
mentioned earlier, ask a doctor to measure your
maximum heart rate for you. We have defined three
different heart rate zones to help you with targeted
training.

•
50-60 % of maximum heart rate
Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents
and those who haven’t exercised for a long time.
Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is
recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves
beginners’ respiratory and circulatory performance and
you will quickly feel your improvement.
T R A I N E R
•
60-70 % of maximum heart rate
Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even
reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively,
training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three
times a week. To improve your condition still further,
increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the
same time!
AC TI V E TR AI N E R
•
70-80 % of maximum heart
rate
Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and
presupposes long-endurance workouts.
Rest is as important as exercise in a fitness program. If
you for instance exercise conscientiously for three weeks,
it’s good to make the following week a little lighter.
TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT
The most reliable way of measuring the heart rate is
telemetric measurement using a transmitter belt. If
you want to measure your heart rate this way during
your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes on
the transmitter belt with saliva or water. Fasten the
transmitter just below the chest with the elastic
belt, firmly enough so that the electrodes remain in
contact with the skin while pedaling, but not so tight
that normal breathing is prevented. If you wear the
transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt
slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the
shirt. The transmitter automatically transmits the heart
rate reading to the meter up to a distance of about 1
meter. The heart rate value is displayed in the meter.
Follow your heart rate during the training.
REMARKS ON TELEMETRIC MEASUREMENT
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart rate
reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes
are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the
electrodes to warm up properly to ensure accurate
heart rate measurement. If there are several telemetric
heart rate measurement equipments next to each
other, the distance between them should be at least 1.5
m. Similarly, if there is only one receiver and several
transmitters in use, only one person with a transmitter
should be within transmission range. The transmitter is
switched to an active state only when it is being used for
measurement. Sweat and other moisture can, however,
keep the transmitter in an active state and waste battery
energy. Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes
carefully after use.
When selecting training attire, please note that some
fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create
static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate
measurement.
Please note that a mobile phone, television and other
electrical appliances form an electro-magnetic field
around them, which will cause problems in heart rate
measurement.

KEYS AND DISPLAYS
1. MANUAL
Allows you to set your effort level with the arrow keys
during the workout.
2. ROLLING HILLS
This program changes the effort levels during your
workout. The display shows the program and the
changes in effort. You can choose a profile to your liking
by pushing the
ROLLING HILLS
key repeatedly or with
arrow keys.
3. HRC INTERVAL
This program changes the heart rate level during your
workout. The display shows the program and the
changes in target
HR
. You can choose a profile to your
liking by pushing the
HRC INTERVAL
key repeatedly or
with arrow keys.
4. TARGET HR
This program allows you to preset your heart rate level,
i.e. the resistance is regulated so that your heart rate
remains at the requested level. If the heart rate tends to
rise, resistance is reduced automatically and vice versa.
The set value can be changed also during the workout.
5. RESET
Press for 2 seconds,
R ESETS
