6 USING THE EC-T220WITHOUT A DATA CARD

The blue card you used for your first session serves to input the type and conditions of training. But it is also possible to do the same thing without the card, by using the buttons on the control unit.

You need the chest-belt heart rate sensor for the HR control training. You must put on the chest-belt heart rate sensor around your chest, as per the instruction on page 12.

Input training conditions.

•The screen prompts you to set the training conditions.

•The screen changes as shown here, and the initial value for age (40) is shown.

•You can increase or decrease this number by pressing the SPEED or INCLINE +/- buttons. The value changes rapidly if either button is held down. For example, press the INCLINE + button to change the value for age from 40 to 52.

Caution: Do not press the START button before completely input- ting the data. If you press the START button before com- pleting data input, the skip function is activated, and exer- cise begins.

•After inputting your age, go on to the next screen by pressing the MODE button.

Caution: Input contents vary depending on the program.

•Try changing the displayed target pulse rate from 118 to 115.

•After finish inputting your target pulse rate, go to the next screen by pressing the MODE button.

•Input the exercise time.

Reference: The exercise time is equal to the alarm time. The alarm time does not mean the end. You can continue the exer- cise after the buzzer sounds.

•When the MODE button is pressed again, a screen appears for you to confirm the training conditions. Check the training conditions.

•If you will change your training conditions, highlight the items to ad- just by pressing the SPEED or INCLINE +/- buttons and then press the MODE button. Then the screen returns to the input screen of the data you want to change.

Reference: The card is a tool to instantly set a program and training conditions. Usually you have to set such conditions by pressing buttons before each session, but the data card saves you the trouble. The age, upper pulse limit setting, and target pulse rate will be automatically entered. See "Making a Data Card" on page 34.
