The upper pulse limit can be automatically set by setting your age. The rate is calculated by subtracting your age from 200. WARNING: When the warning beep has been issued, imme- diately stop your exercise, or set the pedal resis- tance to a lighter level and pace down your exer-
cise until the beep stops.
The upper pulse limit can be changed in the following manner.
1.Keep pressing the mode button when the AGE item is blink- ing during the setting procedure on the display screen.
2.The display "AGE" will be changed to "PLL" (upper pulse limit).
3.Use "+" and
