The bottom alphanumeric screen (B)
will ask you for the heart rate value at
which you wish to do the exercise, use
the number keys (G), Fig.3, to select a
value (between 25 and 250 B.P.M
beats per minute), then press ENTER
will be shown on the alphanumeric
screen (B) and exercise will begin
after a 3 second countdown.
This program uses a preset exertion
level during the first three minutes in
order to prevent any type of injury.
The first minute starts off at a speed of
4km/h. The second minute speeds up
to 4.5km/h. The third minute speeds
up to 5Km/h. From the fourth minute
onward the computer automatically
adjusts the exertion level to keep your
heart rate at the specified value.
NOTE: If the monitor fails to receive a
pulse rate signal during the third
minute the program will stop
automatically.
WHAT THE SYMBOLS MEAN
A series of symbols or words may
appear on the screen, meaning the
following:
Heart symbol and a question mark:
The chest band has not been fitted or
is fitted incorrectly.
Flashing heart symbol :
This symbol only appears in the test
programs.
The maximum number of heartbeats
that a person should not exceed is
referred to as the maximum heart rate
and this value drops with age. A
simple formula to calculate this value
is to deduct your age, in years, from
the number 220. The maximum heart
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.
*0* :
This symbol appears in the male and
female tests, it means that you have
not worn the chest band during the
test.
Spanner symbol:
Mechanical fault. Switch the machine
off for 2 minutes and then switch it
back on again. The machine has an
automatic fault correction system,
nevertheless if the problem persists

centre.
