1Age is shown by the figure "50"

2"150" is the upper-limit pulse rate set by the machine (200 - age). If this pulse rate is exceeded during training, an alarm will sound and the pedal resistance will become to minimum (0.5kg·m).

3Exercise time is shown by "16:00", which means 16 minutes.

4"HILL" which is short for "hill profile training" shows the type of training to be engaged in.

5"1" indicates the shape of the hill to be climbed. "1" is the gentlest slope.

6Changes of pedal resistance are shown on the graph.

4. Press the DV button to start

Press the DV button.

A display like that in the diagram below will appear on the screen. The numbers on this screen repre- sent your own present condition, and they will change frequently.

4Energy expenditure, expressed in watts. The higher the number, the more energy you are expending.

5Pedal resistance. The higher the number, the harder it is to pedal.

6As time goes on, the blinking row in the graphic part will shift one by one toward the right hand. Ac- cording to the position of the blinking row you can find how far you have progressed in the current session.

5. Calorie display

• Pushing the MO button gives you the option of viewing a calorie con- sumption display (calorie consumed from the beginning of the present training session until now) instead of elapsed time.

Now you are on the exerciser for your first ride. As you train, pedal resistance will change, energy ex- penditure will change, and your pulse rate will also change. The Model EC-1200 lets you keep track of all this information while you train.

The Model EC - 1200 Cateye ErgociserTM function that we have explained up to this point is only the beginning. Let us move on to an ex- planation of other functions.

Attach the pulse sensor to your ear- lobe. When it is cold,rub your ear- lobe to facilitate blood circulation before attaching the pulse sensor.

CAUTION: Do not use any AC adaptor other than the one sup- plied with the Model EC-1200.

Remark :

You may change data at any time. The ++ and

-buttons will raise or lower any of the numbers discussed above. Press the MO button to move to the next number, which will flash on and off when it is eligible for changing. Now, however, the goal is to get you acquainted with Model EC-1200, so if you change any of the numeral values, please return them to their original setting.
