INTRODUCTION
The VE 480 is a new-generation fitness device.
This product is equipped with a magnetic transmission system for optimal and smooth pedaling comfort.
The VE 480 brings together the circular motion of cycling, the horizontal motion of running, and the vertical motion
of stair stepping – all rolled into one!
The back-and-forth elliptical movement of the feet, in combination with the arm movement, helps develop the muscles of the arms,
the back, the pectorals, the gluteals, the quadriceps, and the calves.

1
LEVELLING THE BICYCLE
In the event that the bike becomes unstable during use, turn one or both of
the plastic end knobs on the rear support leg until the bike is stable.
2
ADJUSTING THE RESISTANCE
According to the EN (European Norm) definition, this product is an item of
“pedal crank training equipment”.
You can adjust the braking torque not only with your pedalling speed but also
by manually choosing your resistance level (by turning the torque control knob
on non-motorised products and by pressing the +/- buttons on motorised
products).
However, if you retain the same level of resistance, the braking torque will
increase/decrease as your pedalling speed increases and decreases.

1. Remove the console from its holder, take the battery compartment
lid off (located on the rear of the product) and insert two AA or
UM-3 batteries in the battery compartment behind the screen.
2. Make sure the batteries are installed correctly and are flush with
the springs.
3. Put the battery compartment lid back on and check to ensure that
it is secure.
4. If the display is illegible or partial, remove the batteries, wait 15
seconds and then put them back in.
5. If you remove the batteries, the computer memory is erased.
RECYCLING :
The “crossed-out bin” symbol indicates that this product and the batteries it
contains cannot be disposed of with household waste. They are subject to
specific sorting. Take the batteries and your unusable electronic product to an
authorised collection area for recycling. Recycling your electronic waste will
protect the environment and your health.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
- If you note that your counter does not display the correct units of dis-
tance, check that the switch at the rear of the console is in Mi position
for a display in miles and Km for a display in kilometres. Remove and
replace the batteries for the change to take effect.
- If you note abnormal distances or speeds, check the switch at the rear
of the console is in the VM position for a bicycle.
On magnetic bicycles, each turn of the pedals corresponds to a distance
of four metres; on elliptical bicycles two movements correspond to a
distance of 1.6 metres (these values are average values when riding a
bicycle or walking).
- If the heart rate indicator does not flash or is flashing erratically, check
that your hands are positioned properly and that the sensors are not
too moist.
TROUBLESHOOTING

ENGLISH
CARDIO-TRAINING
CARDIO TRAINING
Cardio training is aerobic exercise (muscle development in the presence of oxygen); it enables you to improve your cardiovascular capacity.
More specifically, you improve the tone of your heart muscle and blood vessels. Cardio training brings oxygen from the air you breathe into your
muscles. The heart pumps this oxygen throughout the entire body, and especially to the muscles that are doing the work.
AWarm-up stage: progressive effort
The warm-up is the preparatory phase for exercise and gets your
body FULLY READY to start working out. It is a way to PREVENT
INJURIES TO TENDONS AND MUSCLES. It involves two steps:
WAKING UP THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM, AND OVERALL WARM-
UP.
1) The muscles are awakened by means of a SERIES OF SPECIFIC
STRETCHES that make it possible to PREPARE FOR THE
WORKOUT: every muscle group is brought into play, and the
joints are stimulated.
2) The overall warm-up makes it possible to put the cardio-vas-
cular and respiratory system into action progressively, for a
better blood supply to the muscles and better preparation for
the effort. It should be long enough: 10 minutes for a recrea-
tional sport, and 20 minutes for a competitive sport. Note that
the warm-up should be longer for people age 55 and older,
and in the morning.
BTraining
The workout is the main phase of your physical activity. By wor-
king out on a REGULAR basis, you can improve your physical
fitness.
• Anaerobic work for developing endurance.
• Aerobic work for developing cardio-pulmonary strength.
CReturn to rest
This corresponds to low-level activity; it is the progressive “resting”
phase. WARMING DOWN brings your cardiovascular, respira-
tory and circulatory systems and your muscles back to normal
functioning (thereby preventing undesirable side effects such as
lactic acid, the accumulation of which is one of the major causes
of muscle pain namely, cramps and stiffness).
DStretching
Stretching must follow the warm-down phase, while your joints
are still warm, in order to reduce the risk of injury. Stretching after
exertion: minimizes MUSCLE STIFFNESS due to the accumulation
of LACTIC ACID, and stimulates BLOOD CIRCULATION.
PHASES OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
• Training at 80% to 90% of maximum heart rate and higher: Anaerobic and red zones reserved for competitive, specialized athletes.
• Training at 70-80% of maximum heart rate: endurance training.
• Training at 60-70% of maximum heart rate: Getting into shape/Burning off fat.
• Training at 50 to 60% of maximum heart rate: Maintenance/Warm-up
Beats per minute
Age
Beats per minute
Age
If your age is different from those presented in the chart, you may use the following formulas
to calculate your maximum heart rate corresponding to 100%:
For Men: 220 minus your age For Women: 227 minus your age.

ENGLISH
The exercise bike provides an excellent kind of cardio-training activity. Training on this equipment is designed to increase your cardio-vascular
capacity. On this principle, you improve your physical condition, your endurance and you burn calories (an indispensable activity for weight
loss in association with dieting).
Finally, the exercise bike allows you to tone the muscles in the legs and buttocks.
The muscles in the calves and the lower abdominals are also worked.
PARTS OF THE BODY WORKED
Weight Maintenance/Warm-up:
progressive effort starting at 10
minutes.
For a workout designed either to keep you
in shape or for re-education purposes, you
may train every day for around ten minutes.
This type of exercise is designed to stimulate
your muscles and joints or may be used as a
warm-up to additional physical activity.
To increase the muscle tone of the legs, select
a higher resistance and lengthen the exercise
period.
Of course, you may vary the pedalling resis-
tance throughout your exercise session.
Aerobic fitness workout: moderate
effort for a fairly long period (35
min to 1 hour).
If you wish to lose weight, this type of exer-
cise, combined with a diet, is the only way
to increase the quantity of energy consumed
by the organism. Nevertheless, it is pointless
to push yourself beyond your limits. It is the
regularity of training that will allow you to
obtain the best results.
Select a fairly weak pedalling resistance and
exercise at your own rhythm, but at least for
a period of 30 minutes. This exercise should
raise a slight sweat but should under no
circumstances leave you breathless. It’s the
duration of the exercise, at a slow rhythm,
that will require your organism to draw its
energy from your fat reserves provided that
you pedal for more than thirty minutes, a
minimum of three times a week.
Aerobic training for endurance: sus-
tained effort for 20 to 40 minutes.
This type of training targets significant rein-
forcement of the cardiac muscle and impro-
ved respiratory activity.
The resistance and/or speed of pedalling is
increased so as to increase respiration during
the exercise. The effort here is more sustained
than for the maintenance workout.
As your training progresses, you will be able
to sustain the effort for longer periods, at a
faster rate or with a higher degree of resis-
tance. You may train a minimum of three
times a week for this type of training.
Training at a faster rate (anaerobic workout
and workout in the red zone) is reserved for
athletes and requires adequate preparation.
After each training session, take several
minutes to pedal with diminishing speed and
resistance in order to cool down and pro-
gressively bring the body to a state of rest.
When just starting out, begin by training over several days with a slight resistance and pedalling speed, without forcing, and taking rest breaks as
needed. Then progressively increase the frequency or duration of your exercise sessions.
