Tunturi C 900 3.2.3. TARGET PULSE PROGRAMME

key repeatedly you get the display to show

different effort profiles and you can choose the

one best suited for you by pressing the ENTER

key.

2. The TIME display in the upper right-hand

corner of the display will start to flash.

Choose the desired duration of workout

(1-90 minutes in steps of 5 minutes) by using

the arrow keys. The device uses this value to

calculate the duration of the different effort

levels during the programme. However, you

can also exercise for a shorter or longer

period than you have chosen. After having

set duration, press ENTER key.

3. The EFFORT display in the meter’s upper

right-hand corner starts to flash. Select the

desired effort level, from 1 up to 9 (default

value 5). If you are just beginning, choose a

low effort level from 1 to 5. If you are very fit,

select a high effort level from 6 to 9. N.B.

You can change your effort level during the

workout with the arrow keys. After having set

the effort level, press ENTER key.

4. The weight display in the lower right-hand

corner starts to flash. The left-hand side

display reads KG ->. Enter your weight

(default value 70 kg). The meter counts your

approximate energy consumption during the

workout according to your weight. After

having entered your weight, press the

ENTER key again.

5. Begin your workout.

By pressing the SCAN key the right-hand side displays

automatically scan different values every 6 seconds. You can

also switch off the scan function by pressing the SCAN key,

if you want to follow only the effort, steps/minute and pulse

displays, for example.

The topmost display shows either time countdown or effort

in watts. The middle display shows either total steps or rate

in steps/minute. The lowest display indicates either

approximate energy consumption in kilocalories or pulse.

The flashing dot in the left-hand display shows the present

effort level in the workout programme.

When the chosen workout time has elapsed, the meter will

maintain the effort level and continues counting the training

values, so you can continue your workout without stopping if

you so wish.

3.2.3. TARGET PULSE PROGRAMME

Exercise in different pulse ranges affects the body in different

ways. For example, exercise of long duration within a

pulse range that is about 50-60 % of the maximum pulse

burns fat, or helps you lose weight, whereas exercise in a

range that is about 70-80 % of the maximum develops the

heart and respiratory system, and overall endurance, i.e.

it improves your condition. If you don’t know your own maximum

pulse rate you can use the following formulas as a guideline:

WOMEN: APPROX. MAXIMUM PULSE = 226 - AGE

MEN: APPROX. MAXIMUM PULSE = 220 - AGE

However, it is advisable to make sure by consulting your

doctor.

The TARGET PULSE programme enables training at the

requested pulse level. The programme requires measure-

ment of pulse.

1. Select the TARGET PULSE programme by

pressing the TARGET key after the meter

has been switched on or after pressing the

RESET key.

2. The PULSE display in the lower right-hand

corner of the display will start to flash. Set

the desired pulse value (beats/min) by

using the arrow keys. N.B. The preset value can

be changed during the training. You can e.g.

begin your training with a lower, warm up

level and increase your effort level after a

while by increasing the pulse value. After

having set the pulse value, press the ENTER

key.

3. The TIME display in the upper right-hand

corner of the display will start to flash.

Choose the desired duration of workout

(1-90 minutes in steps of 5 minutes) by using

the arrow keys. After having set duration,

press the ENTER key.

4. The weight display in the lower right-hand

corner starts to flash. The left-hand side

display reads KG ->. Enter your weight

(default value 70 kg). The meter counts your

approximate energy consumption during the

workout according to your weight. After

having entered your weight, press the

ENTER key again.

5. Begin your workout.

Follow your pulse during the training and especially the

small light, the so called heart indicator next to the

PULSE text. The light should flash in time with your heartbeat.

If the indicator begins to function in a disturbing fashion (e.g.

additional beats or unnormal fluctuations), the pulse

measurement is not functioning properly. Stop your workout

and make sure that you have followed all the instructions

described in this manual about pulse measu-rement (see 3.4.

MEASURING PULSE).

If the stepping effort seems too strenuous or easy, change the

preset pulse value by using the arrow keys.
