IMPORTANT Things You Should Know Before Exercising

A.The values calculated or measured by the computer are for exercise reference purposes only, NOT FOR MEDICAL PUR- POSES. Please consult your physician before starting any exercise program. He or she can help establish the exercise frequency, intensity, (including determining your maximum and minimum heart rate and target heart rate zones) and the exercise time appropriate for your particular age and condition. If you have any pain or tightness in your chest, an irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, feel faint or have any discomfort while you exercise, STOP! Consult your physician before continuing.

B.Pulse rate — The pulse rate will be displayed after the system has detected 4 stable pulse signals. Pulse rate is then updated after receiving every two signals.

***Please Note: If your heart rate goes above 199, the “1” will flash. So a heart rate of 224 will be displayed as 124, and the 1 will be flashing***

C.Pulse rate readout — While the grip heart rate feature is a quick and convenient way to check your heart rate, it is generally not as accurate as a wireless transmitter belt and is subject to occasional mis-readings and interference. You may, from time to time find inconsistencies with the heart rate display on your display console. There are many external factors that can affect the heart rate display. Some factors that influence the reliability of the heart rate signal include the environment where the equipment is used and even the physiology of the users themselves. Electromagnetic interference produced by such items as televisions, computers, microwave ovens, cellular and cordless telephones, and fluorescent lights can also have an effect on the heart rate display on your equipment. By moving the product away from such items, you may be able to avoid many heart rate display problems.

D.Resistance Control — You can control the resistance of the bike by using the UP or DOWN buttons. You increase the resistance by pressing the UP button or decrease the resistance by pressing DOWN button. You will notice a slight lag in time while the electronic brake adjusts to your input, so make sure to allow for this and don’t over-compensate.

E.Sleep Mode — The console will enter a “Sleep” mode and the sys- tem will turn off automatically if there is no input for approximately 2 minutes. Press any button to return the computer to its pre- “Sleep” state or press and hold the RESET button for 2 seconds to clear the computer.
