combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A
dieter should exercise daily, at first 30 minutes
or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily
workout time to one hour.
You should start slowly at a low pedaling
speed and low resistance, because for an overweight
person strenuous exercise may subject the heart
and circulatory system to excessive strain. As
fitness improves, resistance and pedaling speed can
be increased gradually. Exercise efficiency can be
measured by monitoring the pulse. The pulse meter
helps you monitor your pulse easily during exercise,
and thus to ensure that the exercise is sufficiently
effective but not over-strenuous.
Start with slow tempo and low resistance.
Gradually increase tempo and resistance according
to your own condition. Keep your head up and
neck long in order to avoid stress on your neck,
shoulders and back. Keep also your back straight.
Make sure, that your feet are centered on the
foot pedals and that your hips, knees, ankles
and toes are facing forward. Keep your body
weight centered over your lower body regardless
of whether you lean forward or stand upright.
Stop your workout by gradually decreasing tempo
and resistance. Don’t forget to strech afterwards.
To strengthen cardiovascular system, maintain
low resistance but high tempo. Exercising with
higher resistance and slow tempo strengthens
correspondingly your back and hips.

NOTE !
Protect the meter from direct sunlight, as it
may damage the liquid crystal display. Protect the
meter from water and avoid severe impacts, as these
may also damage the meter.
The meter switches on automatically when
you start pedaling or press any key on the meter,
and switches off when you have not pedaled
or pressed a key for about 4 minutes. The
readings accumulated during your workout will be
automatically reset when the meter is switched off.
You can also reset the readings by pressing the
R E SET
key.
METER KEYS
MODE
: Select the function to be preset.
: Press to increase the preset values of time,
counts, kcal or pulse.
: Press to reduce the preset values of time,
counts, kcal or pulse.
R E SET:
Reset all the displays to zero.
METER FUNCTIONS
COU N TS / M I N (training speed): 0-199.
KC A L (The calories burned): 0.0-999 kcal.
PULSE : 40-240 beat / min. Place the palms of your
hands on the both of the contact pads and the
monitor will show up your current beat rate in beat
per minute (BPM) on the display. If the pulse value
is preset, the pulse display will start flashing when
the pulse value exceeds the preset value.
NOTE
! If
there is no pulse signal input within 16 seconds,
the pulse measurement will be cancelled. The pulse
measurement can then be resumed by pressing the
or key.
NOTE
! Strong electromagnetic fields
may cause disturbances in the pulse / heart rate
measurement.
COU N TS
(number of elliptical training
movements): 0-9999.
T I M E
: 00:00 - 99:59. If
T I M E
is not preset, it will
count up in one-second increment.
HOW TO PRESET TRAINING

The equipment requires very little maintenance.
Check, however, from time to time that all screws
and nuts are tight. Clean the equipment with a
damp cloth. Do not use solvents.
NOTE !
Never remove the protective covers.
NOTE !
The brake forms a magnetic field
which may damage the mechanism of a watch or
the magnetic identification tape of a credit or cash
card if they come into immediate contact with the
magnets. Never attempt to detach or remove the
magnet of the magnetic brake.
If you notice a malfunction during use,
contact the dealer. Always give the model and
serial number of your device, please state also
the nature of the problem conditions of use
and purchase date. In spite of continuous quality
control, individual defects and malfunctions may
occur in individual components. It is in most
cases unnecessary to take the whole equipment
for repair, as it is usually sufficient to replace the
defective part.
