1.3 The number pad
The number pad is for entering the numerical values requested when setting the workouts. Only
gures are entered, i.e. 7 and 5 to indicate 7.5 km.
As well as the gures, the number pad also has DELETE and ENTER keys.
Conrms the entered value and proceeds.
Press once to delete the entered value; press twice to go back to the previous message.

1.4 Numerical displays
You can read the numerical values of the current exercise on the numerical displays:
- power, expressed in Watts. The power displayed is the power produced by the user, within the tolerances specied in the equipment identity label.
- heart rate, expressed in number of beats per minute.
- speed, expressed in spm (strides per minute) or rpm (revolutions per minute), depending on the type of the equipment.
The heart rate shown on the display is purely indicative and cannot be considered absolutely certain.

1.5 The goal arc and dial
The arc of LEDs lights up from left to right in time with the workout, until the set goal is
reached. The LED corresponding to the current time/distance/calories portion blinks.
The type of goal selected is lit up in the arc during the exercise. In the dial, the display
of the numerical value for the selected goal, which proceeds incrementally, alternates
with that of all the messages.
The keys, enabled after a goal is selected, are for increasing or decreasing the selected
goal value during the exercise. Depending on the type of goal, the value increases or
decreases in steps of 1 minute, 0.1 km or 10 calories each time the key is pressed, or
faster if the key is held down.

2 Quick start
In standby, either start moving or press the key START.
This kind of workout is on a time increment basis; the eort level is 1; the age and weight values are preset.
It is at constant torque and braking is independent of speed.
The time is shown in the goal dial and arc as it increases; the LED for the current minute blinks in the arc.
The eort level edit keys and the keys PAUSE and STOP are enabled.
At the end of the exercise the eort level decreases for the cool down.

3 Cool down
At the end of each workout there is cooling down stage, at half the eort level of the exercise just completed.
For workouts lasting less than a minute, on the other hand, at the end of the exercise the equipment goes straight into standby.
During the cool down only the key STOP is enabled, for going into stand by, and the keys to modify the eort level.
The goal is all o; the exercise results are displayed in the goal dial:

4 Workouts with goals: Time, Calories, Distance
Press the goal keys in standby to select an exercise, in which the only parameter to set before starting is the total duration, in terms of time, calories to be
burned or distance to cover.
This workout with goal is at constant torque and braking is independent of speed.
Press the key for the selected goal:

During the exercise the goal arc lights up proportionally from left to right until the entire set goal value has expired; the goal’s numerical value is shown in the
goal dial as it increases and alternates with the display of the information on the unselected goal: i.e. how long ago the exercise started, how many calories
have been burned and what distance has been covered.

5 Constant heart rate workout (CPR)
A constant heart rate workout is very important in situations where certain heart rate levels have to be kept to. In constant heart rate workouts, the exercise
eort level is automatically adjusted to take the heart rate to the preselected level and keep it constant throughout the entire exercise.
This type of workout is at constant power and braking depends on the speed.
The chest band must be worn for this workout.
Press the key in standby.

- the STOP and PAUSE keys
- the goal value edit keys
If, during the exercise, there is no heart rate signal for 100 consecutive seconds, the CPR exercise becomes a goal exercise, keeping the same goal (i.e. time,
calories or distance).
At the end of the exercise the eort level decreases for the cool down.

6 The tness test
The tness test is a sub-maximal test, suitable for quite unt or moderately t users.
You need to wear the chest band to perform the test.
Press the key in standby.
After the heart rate has been detected, the age, body weight and gender are requested for setting the test and calculating the results.

16
Bike Forma - Recline Forma - Synchro Forma
The tness test is in three stages:
1) a 90 second warm-up stage at 50 watt;
2) a test stage of about 3 minutes at constant heart rate (step 1);
3) a subsequent test stage of about 4 minutes, in constant heart rate mode at 75% of the maximum theoretical H.R. (step 2).
During the test the time is shown in the goal dial as it increases, and alternates with the display of the subsequent messages.
t
While you are reaching the heart rate required for each step the goal arc stays switched o.

On reaching the set heart rate, the goal arc lights up from left to right until all the step time expires.
Only the STOP key is enabled, for cancelling the test. The test cannot be interrupted for a pause.
When the STOP key is pressed, or if there is no heart rate signal for 100 consecutive seconds, the test is cancelled, then it ends without giving any result.
At the end of the test the eort level decreases for the cool down, during which the results are scrolled:

7 Prole workout
With this key you can choose between 6 preset, non-modiable proles and between nine personal proles, saved by the trainer.
7.1 Predened proles
The predened proles are variable workouts dened on the basis of one of three goals: time, distance or calorie consumption. The goal value is set in the
programming stage and can be changed during the exercise with the corresponding keys.
Prole workouts are set at the eort level specied by the user, calculated with the tness test; you are advised, therefore, to do the tness test rst.
The heart rate monitor is not needed for prole workouts.
When the dedicated key is pressed you are prompted to select a prole.
to
Press one of the number keys for proles, from 1 to 6, then press ENTER to conrm and proceed.

Danger
You are advised not to do the exercise at a higher eort level than that indicated by the level test.
Always check that the heart rate is not greater than 90% of the maximum rate (for the calculation see section Monitoring the heart rate in the
equipment part).
The programming of the exercise is now complete; a beep sounds to signal that you can start the workout.

Bike Forma - Recline Forma - Synchro Forma
During the exercise the goal arc lights up proportionally from left to right until the entire set goal value has expired; the goal’s numerical value is shown in the
goal dial as it increases and alternates with the display of the information on the unselected goal: i.e. how long ago the exercise started, how many calories
have been burned and what distance has been covered.

The following keys are enabled:
- the STOP and PAUSE keys
- the eort level edit keys
- the goal value edit keys
At the end of the exercise the eort level decreases for the cool down.
