FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES
1. CLOCK: Digital diplay shows hours and minutes.
2. TEMPERATURE: Digital display shows the current temperature.
3. TIME: The digital display shows your elapsed workout time in minutes and seconds. Your computer
will automatically count up from 0:00 to 99:59 in one-second intervals. You may also program your
computer to count down from a set value using the UP and DOWN keys from 0:00 to 99:00. In the case
you continue exercising once the time has reached 0:00, the computer will begin beeping and reset
itself to the original time set, letting you know your workout is done.
4. SPEED: The digital display shows your workout speed value in KM or MILES per hour.
5. DISTANCE: Digital display of the accumulative distance traveled during each workout up to a
maximum of 999.9KM/MILE.
6. CALORIES: Your computer will estimate the cumulative calories burned at any given time during your
workout.
7. AGE: Your computer is age-programmable from 10 to 99 years. If you do not set an age, this function
will always default to age 35.
8. PULSE: During your workout, the computer reads and displays your pulse rate in beats per minute.
9. RPM: The number of revolutions of the crank per minute; this is the rate at which a cyclist is
pedalling/turning the pedals.

13COMPUTER OPERATION |

transmitter securely attached and press the "PULSE RECOVERY" key. All function displays will stop
except "TIME". The timer will start counting down from 01:00 to 00:00. As soon as 00:00 is reached,
the computer will show your heart rate recovery status with a grade from F1.0 to F6.0.
1.0 OUTSTANDING
1.0<F<2.0 EXCELLENT
2.0≦F≦2.9 GOOD
3.0≦F≦3.9 FAIR
4.0≦F≦5.9 BELOW AVERAGE
6.0 POOR
NOTE: If no pulse signal is detected, the computer will show "P" on the PULSE window.
If the computer displays "Err" on the message window, take your hands off the pulse sensors,
then press the ENTER key, followed by the RECOVERY key.
KEY FUNCTION
There are 6 buttons/keys that perform the following:
1. UP key
During the setting mode, this key is used to increase the Time, Distance, Calories, Age, Weight,
Height, etc. During CLOCK mode, you can set up the clock and alarm
2. DOWN key
During the setting mode, this key is used to decrease the Time, Distance, Calories, Age, Weight,
Height, etc. During CLOCK mode, you can set up the clock and alarm
3. ENTER/RESET key
a. Press the key to accept the current data entry.
b. During the no-speed mode, hold this key for over 3 seconds the computer will repower.
4. BODY FAT key
Press the key to enter your personal data before measure your body fat ratio.
5. MEASURE key
Press the key to get your body fat ratio and BMI and BMR.
a. FAT %: Indicates your body fat percentage after measurement.
b. BMI (Body Mass Index): BMI is a measure of body fat based on height and weight this applies
to both adult men and women.
c. BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate): Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) shows the number of calories
your body needs to operate properly in a resting setting.

14
NOTE: Press the MEASURE key, keep both hands on the holding sheet. After about 10 seconds, the
display will show the test result. If your hands are placed on the holding sheet incorrectly, the
display will show the message "Err." Use either the ENTER, UP, or DOWN key to exit the test results.

BATTERY
If the wrong display is shown on the monitor, remove and reinstall the batteries.

15EXERCISE GUIDE |
VII. EXERCISE GUIDE
PLEASE NOTE:
Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is important especially if you are
over the age of 45 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.
The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may
affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in
determining heart rate trends in general.
Exercising is a great way to control your weight, improve your fitness and reduce the effects of aging
and stress. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
Your heart and lungs’ condition and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to your
muscles are crucial factor to your fitness. Your muscles use oxygen to provide enough energy for daily
activities; this is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard and it
will pump fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear on your heart.
As a result, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.
WARM UP
Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up
increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your
exercise.

16 | EXERCISE GUIDE
COOL DOWN
Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of
stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-
exercise problems.
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
The above image illustrates how your pulse should behave during a general fitness exercise.
Remember to warm up and cool down for a few minutes. The most important factor here is the
amount of effort you put in. The harder and longer you work, the more calories you will burn.

IX. HAND PULSE TECHNOLOGY
This product comes equipped with hand pulse sensors which are used to pick up tiny EKG/ECG signals
that run through the body when your heart beats. These electrical EKG/ECG signals are very small and
must be amplified 1000 times to make the signal viable for the computer to display your pulse.
To ensure proper operation:
•The user must maintain good, consistent contact on all four sensors.
•The users skin cannot be too dry or too wet.
Other factors that could affect the reading:
•Change of grip on the sensors (during slow pace walking and up to running).
•Tightening of hand muscles will produce small electrical signal.
•Static electricity charges from the air or from walking on the treadmill.
EKG/ECG Sensors may filter through actual EKG/ECG signals and "Noise" factors that may affect the
reading. This will cause the pulse reading to be delayed and will take longer to update the display as the
heart rate changes. Too much noise will create an incorrect reading. Medical conditions or having no
electrical signal in the hands are other factors that may also affect pulse readings.
These are limitations of hand pulse technology and even the most expensive systems (which can
cost upwards of $3,000) used in hospitals have the same problems. The difference is that a patient
in a hospital is not running on a treadmill. Hand pulse technologies work well on stationary exercise
machines like bikes and even elliptical cross trainers but are not perfect on a treadmill. We offer
treadmills with a wireless heart rate receiver which may be the more accurate option.
To test if your hand pulse sensors are working up to specification, hold them while standing on the
sidestep rails, not walking, and see if the reading is more in line with what you would expect. This will
eliminate the movement and static electricity factors. If your hands are dry, then wet them slightly
(saliva works as a great conductor if this doesn’t bother you).
