Using your Cateye Ergociser without a data card

Using your Cateye Ergociser™ without a data card

The red card you used on your first ride contains the data to select the type and condition of training. Without using this card, it is also possible to run through the same operations using the buttons on the control unit.

•In the screen "AUTO" appears blinking.

2Select a training program

•With each press of the MODE button, the flashing indicator moves from one mode to another in the following order.

Remark: Conditions vary ac- cording to the training pro- gram.

Upper limit pulse rate is auto- matically determined from your age, so there is no need to revise this number yourself, unless you have a particular purpose.

4Start training

• When you have set all the training conditions, press the ADV but- ton. The printer will give a print- out of training conditions. When this printout is complete, the screen display will change to the one similar to what is shown be- low. Then you can start pedaling.

5At the end of training

•A buzzer will sound when the training time you have set is fin- ished. If you wish, you can con- tinue training even after this buzzer sounds.

•Whenever you want to stop train- ing, before or after the buzzer

sounds, push the ADV button once.
