T-RIDE™
T-RIDE™ TRAINING simulates riding a bike on a natural
terrain. During training, you can change gears using the
selection dial and watch the altitude profi le.
1. Select T-RIDE™.
2. Select the terrain and confi rm your selection.
3. Set the starting point for the session using the selection dial.
4. Set the ending point for the session using the selection dial.
5. Start your training session by pedalling. You can change
gears (1–6) using the selection dial. During training,
you can display altitude profi le or heart rate using the
selection dial. The heart rate display requires heart rate
measurement.
6. Once you have completed the route, the meter beeps
and the training session ends.
7. To stop the training session, press the BACK/STOP button.
You can then stop the session by selecting EXIT, save the
session to the memory by selecting SAVE AND EXIT or
continue your training session by selecting CONTINUE.
OWN TRAINING
You can create and save up to 20 training programmes
on the meter.
SAVING A PROGRAMME

a. Replay = repeat a previously saved exercise.
b. Edit = edit the duration of a previously saved exercise
before you start.
4. Confi rm your selection by pressing the selection dial.
a. Replay = start pedalling to begin the exercise. You
can adjust the effort level with the selection dial.
b. Edit = select the duration of the exercise with the
selection dial (set the time to 10-180 minutes). Start
pedalling to begin the exercise. You can adjust the

You can then stop the session by selecting EXIT, save the
session to the memory by selecting SAVE AND EXIT or
continue your training session by selecting CONTINUE.
FITNESS TEST
The meter uses a multi-step fi tness test. The test begins at a
low level of effort, which increases steadily in accordance
with the selected test type. A multi-step test is a safe and
reliable, sub maximal means of measuring a person's
physical fi tness level. The test continues until the test
subject has achieved his or her individual target heart rate
(85% of maximum heart rate).
The test requires the use of a heart rate belt: the meter
monitors changes in the heart rate throughout the
test, using the data to calculate an estimate of the
tested person's maximum oxygen uptake capacity. The
maximum oxygen uptake capacity is the best measure
of a person's physical fi tness level. After the test, the
meter gives versatile information on your fi tness level: a
description and a numerical value (ml/kg/min).
PREPARING FOR THE TEST
1. Make sure that the data associated with your username
is updated – the meter uses the user data as a basis for
the fi tness test.
2. Select FITNESS TEST.
3. Using the selection dial, select the most suitable fi tness
category for you:
a. Inactive = no regular exercise, poor physical condition
b. Active = regular exercise, average or good physical
condition
c. Athletic = active training, good or excellent physical
condition
4. The display shows the appropriate test type for each
fi tness category:
a. Step time = duration of different effort levels in the test
b. First step = initial effort level
c. Step power = effort level of steps (in Watts), the test
features several steps
5. Confi rm your selection by pressing the selection dial.
6. If necessary, you can adjust your target heart rate value
using the selection dial. Confi rm your settings using the
selection dial.
7. The display informs you that you can stop the test once
you reach the target heart rate for the test. Start the test
by pressing the selection dial.
PERFORMING THE TEST
1. The display shows the selected test step type. Start
pedalling to begin the test. A red diagram that updates
as you progress in the test represents your heart rate. A
discontinuous line in red indicates your target heart rate.
2. Once the target heart rate level has been achieved,
the meter gives an audio signal and displays a message.
