Always follow medical professionals guidelines to
reduce the risk of personal injury. Failure to follow
their directions may result in injury to yourself.
CAUTION
Upper Body Posture
Handlebar Grips
The dual position handles allow users of varied
heights to exercise comfortably. Taller individuals
will find the rear handle more accommodating
while shorter users will find the front handle
ideal.
These dual handles also allow most users to
change muscle groups during use.
The rear handle encourages a pushing movement
similar to a chest press.
The front handle encourages a pulling movement
that simulates a seated rowing exercise.
The seat assemblies (bucket or high back seat)
promote proper posture and encourage core
muscle activity. When seated properly the
movement should promote mild torso rotation
ideal for strengthening the abdominal regions
and the back.

Uses of the Heart Rate Transmitter Strap
The optional wireless heart rate transmitter accessory
is a useful device if you desire continuous
feedback on your current heart rate during a workout.,
in addition the RST includes a Heart Rate Control
program which requires use of the strap.
The Heart Rate Control program enables the user to set-
up a target heart rate. Through real-time monitoring
eht sniatniam elosnoc eht ,etar traeh s’resu eht fo
user’s heart rate at or below this established target
rate by decreasing the workload if the user’s heart rate
exceeds the target.
Activating & Deactivating Transmitter
Heart Rate Transmitter Straps come in a variety of styles
and manufacturers. To properly activate, secure strap
to the chest and to deactivate follow the instructions
that come with the Transmitter Strap.
Calculating Target Heart Rate Zone
Your approximate Max imum Heart R ate (M HR)
is equal to 220 minus your age. The upper limit of
your target zone is equal to 0.85 times your MHR. The
lower limit of your target zone is equal to 0.60 times
your MHR.
For Example:
Your age is 40:
220 - 40 = 180
180 x .85 = 153 (max MHR)
180 x .65 = 108 (min MHR)
These values are based upon averages, always consult
your physician to establish the proper Heart Rate Zone
for your individual health condition.

Programs
SCIFIT products have 200 levels of computer
controlled resistance, which ensures that users of
all fitness levels will be able to get a challenging but
not overwhelming workout. Because the resistance
is adjustable in 0.1 increments, it is easy for the user
to track progress. SCIFIT products feature one of
the highest resistance capabilities available on any
cardio equipment.
SCIFIT products are self generated and have a
extremely low starting resistance. One pedal
movement or crank revolution activates the console.
The screen will remain illuminated at the most
minimal levels of movement.
SCIFIT products have a battery back up which will
keep the screen illuminated for a short period after
a completed workout or in the pause mode. This
varies between 0 to 3 minutes and can be changed
within the Set-Up mode function.
If you prefer the console to remain illuminated
before and after use an optional AC adapter can be
plugged into the machine to accomplish this. This is
common in medical settings and with Fit-Key
programs.
