General instructions

System signals

Activation of the device
If you activate the device, a signal is emitted during the
segment test.
Presetting
A short signal is emitted, if you reach a presetting such as
time, distance and KJoule/ kcal.
Pulse monitoring
If the entered pulse value is reached, 2 short signals are
emitted.

Recovery

Calculation of the fitness mark (F):
(
mark (F) = 6.0 –
P1 = stress pulse
Grade 1 = very good

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
display 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 pro-
duced by your pulse beat. Rub your ear ten times strongly
to activate 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
without 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 belt
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
rubbing 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

Grade 6 = insufficient
clip or a plug recipient in the pulse plug, hand pulse measure-
ment is automatically deactivated. It is not necessary to dis-
connect the plug of the hand pulse measurement.
Failures with the training computer
Press the reset button

Battery change

If the empty battery symbol appears in the display, the batteries
should be replaced. The total kilometres, presetting and last
training values get lost. Time must be reset.

Training instructions

Sports medicine and training science use cycle ergome-
try, among other things, for the examination of the fun-
ctional 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 previously
2. You sustain a particular endurance performance with
the same heart / circulation performance over a lon-
ger period.
3. You recover more quickly than previously after a parti-
cular 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 maxi-
mum 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 value
changes depending on age.
