If the upper pulse limit alarm is activated while the elapsed time is within 4 minutes, making the buzzer beep and drop- ping the resistance to the minimum of 0.5 kg·m, the test result is not displayed. If the upper pulse limit alarm is acti- vated after the elapsed time exceeds 4 minutes, the result is

•If the 5 minute cool down phase elapses or if you press the ADV button, the buzzer sounds and the program ends.

•The LCD returns to the initial screen.

TIME

• After setting your conditions, adapt the earlobe pulse sensor

and press ADV button to start program.

• After printing out the conditions the LCD changes as in the

drawing.

• The word "READY" will be displayed on LCD panel. Wait still

for one minute.

• After one minute has elapsed, the buzzer sounds and the pitch

Note: You can cancel the pitch sound by pressing

the button. If the symbol is on the LCD, the pitch sound is ON, and if not pitch sound is OFF. Pressing the pitch sound button toggles ON/OFF.

•The initial workload (pedal torque) is indicated in blinking dot in the graphic section of the LCD. One dot along the horizontal axis indicates 30 seconds, and one along the vertical axis 0.5 kg·m. At every 30 seconds, the row of dots will increase by one towards the right of the graphic display, with the last row blink- ing.

•At the 4th and 7th minutes the pedal torque will increase de- pending on your pulse rate at that time. The increased torque of 2nd and 3rd stages will be indicated in dots time after time in the graphic part.
