C. Program Selection: There are 16 programs including 1 Manual Program, 6 Preset Programs, 1 Body
Fat Program, 4 Heart Rate Control Programs, 4 User Setting Programs.
D. Program Graph: Each graph shown is the profile of loading in each interval (column). With the value
of TIME counting up, each interval is 3 minutes and all the columns make up a total of 30 minutes.
With the value of TIME counting down, each interval is the value of setup TIME divided by 10. For
example, if the time value is setup to 40 minutes, each interval will be 40 minutes divided by 10
(40/10=4). Namely, each interval will be 4 minutes. The brief descriptions of the profile of each
graph are as follows:
Program 1: Manual
Program 8: Body Fat
Program 2: Rolling
Program 9: Target H.R.
Program 3: Valley
Program 10: 60% H.R.C.
Program 4: Fat Bum
Program11: 75% H.R.C.
Program 5: Ramp
Program 12: 80% H.R.C.
Program 6: Fitness Test

E. Body Types: There are 9 body types divided according to the FAT% calculated.
Type 1: 5~9%
Type 6: 30~34%
Type 2: 10~14%
Type 7: 35~39%
Type 3: 15~19%
Type 8: 40~44%
Type 4: 20~24%
Type 9: 45~50%
Type 5: 25~29%

Operating Instructions:
A. Exercising With a Specific Goal:
1. TIME Control: Sets up a period of time to exercise. (Except in Program 8)
2. DISTANCE Control: Sets up a certain distance to exercise. (Except in Program 8)
3. BODY FAT Control: Computer designs various programs for different people with different
body fat ratios.
4. WATT Control: Keeps different bodies burning in desired WATT consumed.
5. Heart Rate Control: Keeps users to exercise on a safe heart-beating condition.
B. Heart Rate: The whole set of heart rate detector includes 2 sensors each side. Each sensor has
2 pieces of metal parts. The correct way to get detected is to gently press both metal parts with
each hand. Once the signals are picked up by the computer, the HEART RATE/BODY TYPE
display will flash.
C. Program 1: Manual Program:
Press the "ENTER" key to select TIME, DISTANCE, and AGE.
Then, press the “UP” or “DOWN” key to adjust the values. The default loading level is 6. After pressing
"START/STOP" key to exercise, please also apply the heart rate detector appropriately. Users may exercise
in any desired level (by pressing “UP” or “DOWN” during the workout) with a period of time or a certain
distance.
With the input of age, the computer may suggest a target heart rate to exercise. The suggested heart rate is
80% (220 - age). So, if the heart rate detected equals to or is greater than the TARGET H.R., the value of
HEART RATE will keep flashing. Please note that it is a warning for users to slow down or to lower the level
of intensity.

17
X-15
D. Program 2~7: Preset Programs:
Press the "ENTER" key to select TIME, DISTANCE, and AGE.
Then, press the “UP” or “DOWN” key to adjust the values. Users may exercise with different levels of
loading in different intervals as the profiles show.
After pressing "START/STOP to exercise, please also apply the heart rate detector appropriately. Users
may also exercise in any desired level (by pressing “UP” or “DOWN” during the workout) with a period of
time or a certain distance.
With the input of age, the computer may suggest a target heart rate to exercise. The suggested heart rate is
80% (220 - age). So, if the heart rate detected equals to or is greater than the TARGET H.R., the value of
HEART RATE will keep flashing. Please note that it is a warning for users to speed down or to lower the
level of intensity.
E. Program 8: Body Fat Program:
This is a program designed to calculate users' body fat ratio and to design a specific workout profile for them.
With 9 different body types, the computer can generate 9 different profiles respectively.
Press the "ENTER" key to select GENDER, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, and AGE.
Then, press “UP” or “DOWN” key to adjust the values. After pressing "START/STOP" to calculate body fat,
please also apply the heart rate detector appropriately. If the detector cannot pick up any signals, an error
message "E3" will show up. If that happens, press "START/STOP" key to calculate again.
The calculated values of FAT%, BMR, BMI, BODY TYPE, and a designed profile will show up shortly. Press
"START/STOP" key to exercise.

18
X-15
F. Program 9~12: Heart Rate Control Programs:
Press the "ENTER" key to cycle through TIME, DISTANCE, and TARGET H.R.
Users may setup a target heart rate to exercise in a period of time or a certain distance. In Program 10 to
Program 12, press the "ENTER" key to select TIME, DISTANCE, and AGE. Then, press “UP” or “DOWN”
to adjust the values. Users may exercise in a period of time or a certain distance with 60% of Max Heart
Rate in Program l0, 75% of Max Heart Rate in Program 11, and 80% of Max Heart Rate in Program 12.
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. and
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 to the TARGET H.R., i.e. in the range from
TARGET H.R.-5 to TARGET H.R.+5.

X-15
G. Program 13～16: User Setting Independent Program:
Users are free to edit the values in the order of TIME, DISTANCE, AGE, and the level of loading in 10
intervals. The values and profiles will be stored in the computer memory after setup.
After pressing "START/STOP" key to exercise, please also apply the heart rate detector appropriately.
Users may also change the ongoing loading in each interval by pressing “UP” or “DOWN” key, but this will
not change the level of loading stored in the memory.
With the input of age, the computer may suggest a target heart rate to exercise. The suggested heart rate
is 80% (220 - age). So, if the heart rate detected equals to or is greater than the TARGET H.R., the value
of HEART RATE will keep flashing. Please note that it is a warning for users to speed down or to lower
the level of loading.

4. EXERCISE GUIDE
How you begin your exercise program depends on your physical condition. If you have been inactive
for several years or are severely overweight, start slowly and increase your workout time gradually.
Increase your workout intensity gradually by monitoring your heart rate while you exercise.
Remember to follow these essentials:
Have your doctor review your training and diet programs.
Begin your training program slowly with realistic goals that have been set by you and your
physician.
Warm up before you exercise and cool down after you work out.
Take your pulse periodically during your workout and strive to stay within a range of 60% (lower
intensity) to 90% (higher intensity) of your maximum heart rate zone. Start at the lower intensity,
and build up to higher intensity as you become more aerobically fit.
If you feel dizzy or lightheaded you should slow down or stop exercising.
Initially you may only be able to exercise within your target zone for a few minutes; however, your
aerobic capacity will improve over the next six to eight weeks. It is important to pace yourself while you
exercise so you don't tire too quickly.
To determine if you are working out at the correct intensity, use a heart rate monitor or use the table
below. For effective aerobic exercise, your heart rate should be maintained at a level between 60% and
90% of your maximum heart rate. If just starting an exercise program, work out at the low end of your
target heart rate zone. As your aerobic capacity improves, gradually increase the intensity of your
workout by increasing your heart rate.
