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.

2. Insert the start card (red

card provided)

• Find the red card (start card) in the
packaging of the exerciser. Insert
this card into the appropriate slot
(card inlet) as shown in the diagram
below.
CAUTION: Use only the red card
at this stage. It is a sample card
with the exercise data already
registered in it. The unit will not
work with the black cards since
they do not contain any data
yet.

1. Turn on power and attach

pulse sensor

• Insert the AC adaptor into the AC
adapter inlet at the rear of the exer-
ciser.
• Insert the plug of the AC adaptor
into any household AC outlet (110-
120V).
• Turn on power switch. The control
unit should make a beep sound and
"AUTO" should appear on the
screen.
• 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.

3. Checking the screen

display

• The display that appears on the
screen should be as described be-
low. If this display does not appear,
pull the card out and slowly insert it
again. The numbers in the display
represent training conditions.
1 Age 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).
3 Exercise 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.
6 Changes of pedal resistance are
shown on the graph.

6. When you finish

• When 16 minutes have elapsed, a
buzzer will sound and the training
session will automatically stop.
• You may stop exercise program at
any time during workout by press-
ing A button twice.
• The liquid crystal display on the
screen will return to initial display,
"AUTO" alone flashing.
•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.

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.

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.
1 Heartbeats per minute.
2 Pedal revolutions per minute.
3 Elapsed time since start of training
session.
4 Energy expenditure, expressed in
watts. The higher the number, the
more energy you are expending.
5 Pedal resistance. The higher the
number, the harder it is to pedal.
6 As 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.
