• Attach the pulse sensor to your

earlobe. When it is cold, rub your

earlobe to facilitate blood circula-

tion before attaching the pulse

sensor.

Caution: Do not use any AC

2Insert the start card (red card provided)

Find the red card (start card) in the package of the EC-3700. Insert this card into the appropriate slot (card inlet) as shown in the dia- gram below.

3Checking the screen display

The display that appears on the screen should be as described be- low. If this display does not ap- pear, pull the card out and slowly insert it again. The numbers in the display represent training condi- tions.

TIME

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 ex- ceeded during training, an alarm will sound and the pedal resis- tance will drop to minimum (0.5kg·m).

3Exercise time is shown by “16:00”, which means 16 min- utes.

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 gen- tlest slope.

6Changes of pedal resistance are shown on the graph.

4Press the ADV button to start

• Depress ADV button. This will activate the printer.

Start pedaling at a low speed.

When the printer stops, a display like that in the diagram below will appear on the screen. The num- bers on this screen represent your own present condition, and they will keep changing as time goes on.

3Elapsed time since start of train- ing session.

4Amount of working, expressed in watts. The higher the number, the more energy you are ex- pending.

5Pedal resistance (torque). The higher the number, the harder.

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.

5Calorie display

Pressing 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-3700 lets you keep track of all this information while you train.

6When you finish

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.

You may stop exercise program at any time during workout by

pressing ADV button twice.

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

Remark : You may change data at any time. The and buttons will raise or lower any of the numbers 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-3700, so if you change any of the numeral values, please return them to

their original setting.
