Cateye EC-35OO Lets Learn Operation of Buttons & Workload Shift Lever, Pulse Sensor Handling

LET'S LEARN OPERATION OF BUTTONS & WORKLOAD SHIFT LEVER

To make the most of the functions of the unit.

1. Functions of the buttons

• Advance Button ( AV )		•Advance Button ( AD	)
It makes the program proceed. Each time you press this button, the display		NO-DISPLAY
advances in the order as Fig. 1.
• Mode Button ( M	D )	INITIAL DISPLAY

It is used in two ways.

2. Workload Shift Lever and Work Rate

Work rate (watt) is determined by the position of the workload shift lever, and your pedal cadence. (Fig. 4). To get the desired work rate during exercise, first adjust it roughly by the workload shift lever, then precisely by changing your pedal cadence. The workload can be shifted to 8 positions, 1 is the easiest and 8 is the heaviest. Each posi-

tion of the workload shift lever is identified by the mark displayed on the screen. The following table shows work rate (watt) correspond-

b) In the "In-Exercise Display", each press of this button converts the

screen alternately as Fig. 3.

• Set Buttons (SET)

In the "Initial Display", each button serves to change the blinking numeri- cal value in each selected mode.

•Target Pulse On/Off Button ( TP )

Each time you press this button, the mark is switched on or off. When the mark is lit up on the screen, the buzzer warns you if your pulse rate is out of the target pulse rate by more than ± 5 bpm . When the mark is not lit up on the screen, the buzzer doesn't function and you can exercise freely unconcerned with the target pulse rate zone.

[Beeping Sound Pattern]			0	1	2	(sec)
Over		(the target pulse rate +5)				2kHz
	Under	(the target pulse rate –5)				1kHz

3. Pulse Sensor Handling

• Attach the pulse sensor to either earlobe, right or left. Clip it firmly

to the center of the earlobe. Be sure to remove any earring or the like

from your earlobe. (Fig. 5)

• When it is cold, rub your earlobe before attaching the pulse sensor,

to facilitate the blood circulation.

(The buzzer doesn't function unless your pulse rate once reaches the target pulse rate.)

Special functions of buttons

• "All Clear" Function

When new batteries are loaded, or when abnormal signal is received due to electrostatic trouble, etc., the screen may show abnormal displays. In such

a case, first hold down the set buttons	and the mode	M
	. The screen first turns to
simultaneously, then press the advance button

"No-Display" state, then it displays all the readings for 2 seconds. Finally it returns to the "No-Display" state.

• Recovery Function

If you press the advance button by mistake during exercise, making the screen turn to "No-Display" state, press any of the other buttons, except the

advance button , within 10 seconds. The screen recalls the previous "In-Exercise Display" state.

• Memory Function

In the "No-Display", if you hold down the mode button and press the

advance button , the data that was set for your last exercise can be recalled. This function is useful when you can use the unit exclusively and want to repeat the same exercise program.

*This function becomes effective 10 seconds after the unit is turned off.

Appears when the pulse rate jumps up or down abnormally, or when the pulse sensor is not attached to your earlobe properly.

When this mark is on, the buzzer functions to signal when your pulse rate is out of the target pulse rate zone.

7Unit Mark

Indicates the unit of the display figure.

8Battery Alarm Mark

Indicates that the battery power has exhausted.

• Try not to change the position of the earlobe sensor during exercise.
• If the error mark	lights up frequently, remove the pulse sensor
and attach it again correctly.
• If the pulse sensor is pulled excessively, the cable can be damaged or
short-circuited. Treat the pulse sensor with care.
• When the pulse sensor is not in use, always clip it to the sensor clip.
Hold the pulse sensor cable with the cable clip, adjusting the slack of
the pulse sensor cable.

Checking the pulse sensor

1)In the "In-Exercise" state, close the pulse sensor; putting nothing in between.

The mark lights up on the screen, and the pulse rate readings show "0" bpm ----- Normal

When the pulse sensor cable is pulled, the		mark blinks ----- The
sensor cable is about to be broken.
The	mark doesn't light up ----- The pulse sensor cable is
broken.

2)The mark blinks even when the pulse sensor is attached to your earlobe. ----- The pulse sensor cable is short-circuited.
