the Male test is set at 150 W whereas
the Female test is set at 100 W.
With the monitor switched on, the top
LED array (A), Fig.2, will display the
profile and the letter “M” for manual.
The speed
or speed – keys are
used to display the various pre-
programmed profiles. Once the Male

selected, press the ENTER key. Next,
the bottom alphanumeric screen (B),
Fig.2, will ask for an age value
(between 10 and 99). Select your age
using the numeric keys (G) Fig.3, and
press ENTER. START EXERCISE will
be shown on the alphanumeric screen

second countdown.
The top LED array (A), Fig.2, will display
a flashing heart symbol. Place your
hands on the pulse sensors (handgrip)
located on the handlebar or place the
telemetric chest band on your chest, if
you have one. Begin the TEST.
At the end of the 12 minute test you
will be awarded a score between 1
(very poor) and 5 (excellent). A 0
score may also appear, which means
that either the test or heart rate
measurement sensor were not used
correctly.
NOTE: In order to do the test it is
essential to use heart rate
measurement, using either the hand-
grip sensors or the chest band. It is
advisable to do a brief warm-up
session before doing this test. This will
prevent possible injuries.
The maximum number of heartbeats
that a person should not exceed is
referred to as the maximum Herat rate
and this value drops with age. A
simple formula to calculate this is to
subtract your age, in years, from the
number 220. The maximum Herat rate
should be kept between 65% and 85%
for correct exercise, it is not advisable
to go above 85%.
Whenever your pulse rate exceeds
85% of the maximum heart rate value
a flashing heart symbol will appear
and a 2 second beep will sound until
your pulse rate drops below 85% of
your maximum heart rate.
For safety reasons it is advisable to
exercise at below 85% of the
maximum heart rate.

exertion levels to ensure that the user
maintains the selected heart rate value.
Use of heart rate measurement using
the telemetric chest band is obligatory
and you must not exceed 85% of your
maximum heart rate value.
