OPERATION OF BUTTONS & WORKLOAD SHIFT LEVER
To make the most of the functions of the unit.
1. Functions of the buttons
Advance Button
It makes the program proceed. Each time you press this button, the display ad-
vances in the order as Fig. 1.
Mode Button
It is used in two ways.
a) In the "Initial Display", each press of this button switches the item to be modified
in the order as Fig. 2.
b)In the "In-Exercise Display", each press of this button converts the screen alter-
nately as Fig. 3.
Value Adjust Buttons
In the "Initial Display", each button serves to change the blinking numerical value
in each selected mode.
Button Each press increases the numerical value by 1, and
when held down, it increases rapidly.
Button Each press decreases the numerical value by 1, and
when held down it decreases rapidly.
Target Pulse On/Off Button
The mark turns on and off each time you press this button.
When the mark is shown, the buzzer beeps if your pulse rate deviates from the
target pulse rate zone. When the mark is off, such a function is not activated.
[Beeping Sound Pattern] 0 1 2 (sec.)
Beyond the target pulse rate zone 2kHz
Below the target pulse rate zone 1kHz
• The buzzer function is not activated until your pulse rate once reaches the target
pulse rate.
• The target pulse rate zone may slightly differ depending on the target pulse rate
that you input, but approximately within +/- 5 bpm from the target pulse rate.
Special functions of buttons
"All Clear" Function
When new batteries are loaded, or when abnormal signal is received due to electro-
static trouble, etc., the screen may show abnormal displays. In such a case, first hold
down the set buttons and the mode button simultaneously, then press
the advance button . The screen first turns to "No-Display" state, then it dis-
plays all the readings for 2 seconds. Finally it returns to the "No-Display" state.
Recovery Function
If you press the advance button by mistake during exercise, making the screen
turn to "No-Display" state, press any of the other buttons, except the advance but-
ton , within 10 seconds. The screen recalls the previous "In-Exercise Display"
state.
Memory Function
In the "No-Display", if you hold down the mode button and press the advance
button , the data that was set for your last exercise can be recalled. This func-
tion is useful when you can use the unit exclusively and want to repeat the same
exercise program.
*This function becomes effective 10 seconds after the unit is turned off.

2. Workload Shift Lever and Work Rate
Work rate (watt) is determined by the position of the workload shift lever, and
your pedal cadence. To get the desired work rate during exercise, first adjust it
roughly by the workload shift lever, then precisely by changing your pedal ca-
dence. The workload can be shifted to 8 positions, 1 is the easiest and 8 is the
heaviest.(Fig. 4) Each position of the workload shift lever is identified by the
mark displayed on the screen. The following table shows work rate (watt) corre-
sponding to each workload shift lever position, and the pedal cadence.
