Training and Operating Instructions
General instructions
System signals
Activation of the device
If you activate the device, a signal is emitted during the seg-
ment test.
Presetting
A short signal is emitted, if you reach a presetting such as
time, distance and KJoule/ kcal.
Maximum pulse exceeding
If the preset maximum pulse is exceeded by one pulse beat,
2 short signals are emitted for the time.
Recovery
Calculation of the fitness mark (F):
(
10 x (P1–P2)
mark (F) = 6.0 –
P1
P1 stress pulse
P2 = recovery pulse
Grade 1 = very good
Grade 6 = insufficient
Calculation of average value
The calculations of the average values refer to training units
in the past until a reset or the stand-by mode.
Instructions for pulse measurement
The pulse measurement starts as soon as the heart in the dis-
play blinks in time with your pulse beat.
With ear clip
The pulse sensor works with infrared light and measures the
variations in translucence in your skin, which are produced
by your pulse beat. Rub your ear ten times strongly to activa-
te the blood circulation before attaching the pulse sensor to
your earlobe.
Avoid disturbing pulses.
• Attach the ear clip properly to your earlobe and look for
the best point for the measurement (heart symbol blinks with-
out interruption).
• Do not train directly under strong incidence of light, e.g.
neon light, halogen light, spotlights, sun light.
• Completely eliminate any shocks or bounces of the ear
sensor and the cable. Always attach the cable with a clip at
your clothing or, even better, at your headband.
With breast clip
Please observe the corresponding instructions.
With hand pulse
An extra-low voltage caused by the contractions of your
heart is registered by the hand sensors and evaluated by the
electronics assembly of the device
• Always grab the contact faces with both hands
• Avoid jerky grasping
• Hold your hands calmly and avoid contractions and rub-
bing on the contact faces.

Comment:
Only one way of pulse measurement is possible: either
with ear clip or with hand pulse or with breast belt. If no
ear clip or plug recipient is located in the pulse plug,
hand pulse measurement is activated. If you insert an ear
clip or a plug recipient in the pulse plug, hand pulse mea-
surement is automatically deactivated. It is not necessary
to disconnect the plug of the hand pulse measurement.
Battery change
If the battery symbol occurs in the display, battery power is
too low for pulse measurement. Training kilometres and time
as well as all presettings will get lost. Time must be reset.
Brake level display
Brake setting is classified in level 1-10. If this classification is
disturbed or lost, you must restore it as follows:
• Check whether the 3-pole connecting cable is plugged in
at the back of the display.
• Insert batteries and press the "DISP/SET" button until the
segment test is completed.
• Turn back hand lever to minimum setting and press the
"DISP/SET" button when 0%, BRAKE 0 is displayed.
• Pre-turn hand lever to maximum setting and press the
"DISP/SET" button when 100%, BRAKE 10 is displayed.
The process is completed.
Training instructions
Sports medicine and training science use cycle ergo-
metry, among other things, for the examination of
the functional capability of heart, circulation and
respiratory system.
You can find out whether or not you have achieved
the desired effect from your training after several
weeks using the following method:
1. You manage a particular endurance performance
with less heart / circulation performance than pre-
viously
2. You sustain a particular endurance performance
with the same heart / circulation performance
over a longer period.
3. You recover more quickly than previously after a
particular heart / circulation performance.
Guide values for the endurance training
Maximalpulse: maximum strain means the reaching
of the individual maximum pulse. The maximum
achievable heart rate is dependant on age.
Here the following empirical formula applies: the
maximum heart rate per minute corresponds to 220
heart beats minus age in years.
Example: age 50 years -> 220 – 50 = 170
pulse/min.
Load intensity
Load pulse: the optimum intensity of load is reached at
65–75 % (see also diagram) of the maximum pulse. This
