Remark : You may change data at any time. The

and

buttons will raise or lower any of the num-

bers discussed above. Press the

MODE

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-1600, so if you change any of the numeral values, please return them to their original setting.

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. According to the position of the blinking row you can find how far you have progressed in the current session.

5. Calorie display

Pushing the MODE button gives you the option of viewing a calorie consumption display (calorie con- sumed 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-1600 lets you keep track of all this information while you train.

When 16 minutes have elapsed, a buzzer will sound and the training session will automatically stop.

The printer prints out the E.C. (Energy Consumption) and then stops.

ing ADV

button twice.

The liquid crystal display on the screen will return to initial display, "AUTO" alone flashing.

The Model EC-1600 Cateye Ergo- ciser™ function that we have ex- plained up to this point is only the beginning. Let us move on to an explanation of other functions.
