exercise values are displayed in the bottom row of the numeric display.

Room temperature display in Celsius degrees. This screen will display when the meter switches to the energy saving mode.
MANUAL EXERCISE
QUICK START
You can start to exercise without selecting settings. The console activates automatically when you start to pedal. You can adjust the resistance during exercise from the adjustment knob. The console tracks your performance continuously.
PRACTISING WITH TARGET VALUES
You can set target values for your exercise. Press the MODE key to get to target value settings.
TM = setting the desired time for exercise
DST = setting the desired distance for exercise
CAL = setting the desired energy consumption for exercise
PLS = setting the desired target pulse rate for exercise.
Pressing the SET key selects the target value for the exercise.
Pressing the MODE key accepts the value and moves to the next setting.
Pressing the RESET key resets the setting.
When you have set the desired target/targets, start your exercise by pedalling. Target value starts counting down to zero. The console beeps when the target value has been met. If you continue to exercise, the exercise value starts to show accumulative value. The console also indicates when you exceed the target pulse rate. The main screen values alternate every 6 seconds. If necessary the resistance can be adjusted from the adjustment knob.
You can interrupt your exercise for 5 minutes and the performance information will stay in the console’s memory. After this the console will switch to energy saving mode and the console’s memory will be erased. You can stop exercising and reset the screen with the RESET key.

RECOVERY – MEASURING THE RECOVERY
PULSE
Measure your recovery pulse rate at the end of the workout.
1.To start the measuring of the recovery pulse rate, press RECOVERY.
2. The measuring takes one minute.
3. Upon completion of the measurement, the display shows the recovery rate as a percentage. At the end of the measuring cycle, result
In order to improve the reliability of recovery pulse measurement, always try to standardize the measurement situation as accurately as possible; start measuring at the same heart rate level as precisely as possible.
4. To switch back to the main display, press
RECOVERY.
MAINTENANCE
The F20 requires very little maintenance. Check, however, from time to time that all screws and nuts are tight. Clean the cycle with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents.
Never remove the protective covers.
The brake forms a magnetic field, which may damage the mechanism of a watch or the magnetic identification tape of a credit or cash card if they come into immediate contact with the magnets. Never attempt to detach or remove the magnet fork of the magnetic brake.
If the cycle is not used for a period of time the transmission belt may become temporarily distorted. This can lead to a slightly uneven pedalling sensation when used. However, after a few minutes of use the effect will disappear as the belt returns to its original form.
CHANGING BATTERIES
If the meter display becomes very weak or there is no display at all, change the batteries. Detach the lid of the battery casing at the back of the meter and remove the old batteries. Place the new batteries in the holder (2 x 1.5 V AA) and push the battery casing lid back into place.
