Cockpit
RACE Simulation
This is a motivating training program in which you are up against a computer simulated opponent.
Before the race you set the time in which your opponent requires to cover 500 meters.
The rowing speed of your opponent remains the same throughout the race. Switch on the cockpit and select
“RACE“ using the
keys.
Step 1: Specification of Time/500 meters for the Computer Opponent
For example, „L1” is flashing in the display and the corresponding value will be shown in the TIME/500M window
(see table). Now select the desired performance level or Time/500 meters for your opponent using the
keys.
Confirm your entry by pressing the ENTER key.

Step 2: Specified Target for the Training Distance
The value will flash in the DISTANCE window. Enter the desired training distance using the
keys. Confirm
your entry by pressing the ENTER key.
Step 3: Training Start
The program will start automatically as soon as you press the START key.
The value entered for the training distance will count down in reverse. The user’s boat will be shown as “U” in the
top line of the display and the computer opponent on the bottom line as “PC”.
The program ends when the value has reached zero and the result will be shown in the display. “USER WIN” will
appear in the display if the user has won and “PC WIN” if the computer opponent has won.
RECOVERY Pulse Rate Measurement
To use the recovery pulse rate measurement, you will require an optionally available chest belt to measure your
heart rate.
If the user is wearing a chest belt, the current heart rate will be shown in the PULSE window of the display. After
training ends press the RECOVERY key to start measurement. 60 seconds will be counted down in the TIME win-
dow. Following measurement, the cockpit will compare the pulse rate at the beginning of the measurement with the
pulse rate after the 60 seconds and give an evaluation.

CAUTION:
Please make sure that you do not press any keys on the cockpit during the recovery measurement process. This
can lead to system failure and may cause the display on the cockpit to “freeze” If this is the case, normally the
stand-by display (Date, Time, and Temperature) will appear. The cockpit will then no longer react to any key inputs.
To re-start the cockpit, remove the batteries for approximately 10 to 20 seconds and then insert them again. It may
be necessary to enter the values for time and date again.
