operational instructions

Computer Instructions

Your computer is ideal for monitoring your performance and setting

yourself targets. By measuring your pulse rate you can ensure you

exercise within your range. At the same time you can monitor closely

your improving condition and cardiovascular ﬁtness.

To Start:

Press the SET button to activate the unit. The computer will

automatically start/stop when you exercise.

Function Buttons

BUTTONS DESCRIPTION

MODE Guides you through each display function. Your computer will change modes in the •

following order:

TIME > DISTANCE > CALORIE > PULSE

Press and hold MODE for several seconds to reset all of the target values in the •

computer.

SET Allows you to set the target values for TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIE & PULSE. Please make •

sure the computer is in the STOP status before using this key. If you hold this key

continuously for 2 seconds the value will increase quickly.

RECOVERY The time it takes you to recover after exercise is an indication of your fitness level. The •

computer is equipped with RECOVERY to measure your heart rate recovery time, you

can use this feature to compare your recovery rate over a period of time. (e.g. When you

first start to train and again after a few weeks training.) To make an accurate comparison

you should really exercise at the same speed and load, and for the same amount of time.

(e.g. 10 minutes at load 3) For an approximate comparison it is not necessary to put your

hands on the hand pulse sensor during the exercise period:

When you finish exercising, put your hands onto the hand pulse sensors, press 1.

RECOVERY and the computer will continue to monitor your pulse. When the computer

has counted down to 0.00 the screen will display a heart rate recovery grade from F1 to

F6 (F1 being good and F6 poor).

Press the RECOVERY button again to return to the main functions.2.

Setting Functions

You can set a target time, distance or calories on your computer. When you start exercising the computer will begin to count

down from your target to zero. When it reaches zero an alarm will beep, then start to count up if you continue exercising.

FUNCTIONS DESCRIPTION

SCAN Automatically scans all the functions in sequence displaying your progress without •

requiring you to press the MODE key.

Your computer will change modes in the following order: •

SPEED > RPM > TIME > DISTANCE > CALORIES > PULSE

SPEED The speed is shown in KPH. (MAX 99:9kph)•

TIME Counting commences when the equipment is active. (MAX 99:59 min)•

To set the timer to countdown select TIME by using the MODE button. Enter the •

required time target by pressing the SET button. (MAX 99:00 min)

DISTANCE Distance is automatically displayed in KM when the equipment is in use. (MAX 99.99km)•

To set a target distance, select DISTANCE by using the MODE button. Enter the desired •

distance by pressing the SET button. (MAX 99.50km)

CALORIES Approximate calories consumed is displayed once the equipment is in use. (MAX 9999 •

cal.)

To set a target calorie consumption select CALORIE by using the MODE button.•

Enter the target calories to be consumed by pressing the SET button. (MAX 9990 cal.) •

(The data is a rough guide for comparison of different exercise sessions which can not

be used in medical treatment.)

PULSE

(Using the hand pulse sensor)

When using the PULSE function a • is displayed, and your current heart rate is shown.

The user may need to consult a doctor before using this equipment. The user can set a •

target heart rate with this information.

To set a target heart rate select PULSE by using the MODE button. Enter your target •

pulse by pressing the SET button. (MAX 240)

Hand Pulse Sensor

To obtain a pulse reading you must have your left and right hands holding the sensors at the same time.

Grip the hand pulse sensors normally (NOT TOO TIGHT) during exercise and after a few seconds the computer will display your

pulse reading.

NOTE: Some people will not be able to obtain an accurate hand pulse reading. (e.g. due to hand skin or variations in circulation.

Other Notes:

When targets / limits have been reached an alarm will sound.•

Without any signal for 5 minutes, the LCD display will shut off automatically with all values reset to zero. Press any key or •

start cycling to reactivate.

Set-up for standing cross training

(Diagram A) • Check handle bars set in forward position.

(Diagram B) • Check seat in lowest position.

Adjust the foot-platforms so that you can exercise in the correct position, •

and without your knees hitting the frame.

Always keep your back straight and your shoulders square.•

Allow for a natural lift from your heel.•

Set-up for seated cross training

(Diagram A) • Check handle bars in rear position.

(Diagram B) • Check seat height. Your knees should not go above

horizontal when cross training in a seated position. Adjust seat height

accordingly.

Storage

Keep the equipment in a dry place with as little temperature variation as possible. Try to protect from dust and always unplug

when not in use. (if applicable)

Cleaning

Use a warm, damp cloth to wipe the surfaces. Mild detergent may be used if necessary.

WARNING: Never remove the protective casing.

Maintenance

Ensure you regularly check components for wear and make sure all the nuts and bolts are tightened before each exercise

session.

Troubleshooting

If you are having problems with your heart rate reading please note that some ﬁbres used in clothes (eg. polyester) create static

electricity that may prevent a reliable heart rate reading. Mobile phones, TV’s, microwaves and other electrical appliances that

generate an electromagnetic ﬁeld may also interfere with heart rate measurement.

If you are still having problems with your equipment, please get in touch with your local York distributor using the details found

in the Customer Support page.

If you have a problem with your equipment, before you do anything else please check that all the cables have been

connected correctly. Loose cables are very common and many problems can be solved by making sure the cables are

properly connected.
