D. Heart Rate Control Programs:
Programs 8 through 11 are the Heart Rate Control Programs. In program 8, press "Enter"
key to select TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES and TARGET H.R. Users may setup a target
heart rate to exercise in a period of time or a certain distance. In Program 9 to Program 11,
press "Enter" key to select TIME, DISTANCE, and AGE. Then, press ▲ or ▼ key to adjust
the values. Users may exercise in a period of time or a certain count with 60% Max Heart
Rate in Program 9, 75% Max Heart Rate in Program 10 , and 85% Max Heart Rate in
Program 11. After pressing "START/STOP" key to exercise, please also apply the heart
rate detector appropriately. In these programs, the computer will adjust the level of loading
according to the heart rate detected. For example, the level of loading may increase while
the heart rate detected is lower than TARGET H.R. Also, the level of loading may
decrease while the heart rate detected is higher than TARGET H.R. As a result, the user's
heart rate will be adjusted to close the TARGET H.R. in the range of TARGET H.R. –5 and
TARGET H.R. +5.
E. Creating User Profile Programs:
Programs 12 through 15 are the user profile programs. When setting up your program,
select the TIME, DISTANCE, CALORIES, AGE and resistance level. The values selected
for your profile will be stored the memory after setup. Press "START/STOP" key to begin
exercising. You can change the resistance level during your workout at anytime by
pressing ▲ or ▼ key. Please note, this will not store the change in the profile memory.
The computer may suggest a target heart rate to exercise. The suggested heart rate is
85% (220 – age). So, if the heart rate detected equals to or greater than the TARGET H.R.,
the value of HEART RATE will keep flashing. Please note that the flashing heart icon is
a warning for users to slow down or decrease the resistance.
F. Watt Independent Program:
Program 16 is a Watt Independent Program. Press the "ENTER" set the TIME,
DISTANCE, WATT, and AGE. Press "START/STOP" key to begin exercising. During
exercise, the level of resistance is not adjustable. In this program, the display computer
will adjust the level of resistance according to the preset WATT value. The level of
resistance may increase if speed is too slow in order to maintain the watts. Also, the level
of resistance will automatically decrease if the speed is too fast. As a result, the calculated
WATTs will remain close to the WATTS preset.
G. Pulse Recovery:
To check your heart rate during recovery this program scales your progress from 1.0 to 6.0.
1.0 is "the best" and 6.0 is "the worst", increments are 0.1. In order to rate your recovery
correctly, perform this test right after your workout is finished, by pressing the "PULSE" key.
In order to register your heart rate on the display you must be wearing a heart rate monitor.
The test will last for 1 minute and the result will show in the display.
