1.3 Electrical safety
+ The equipment requires a 220 - 230V / 50 Hertz mains power supply.
+ The equipment should be connected directly to a grounded plug socket only by
means of the power cable supplied. The use of multi-socket adapters or similar
is not recommended. Extension leads must comply with local electrical safety
guidelines. Always fully unwind the power cable.
+ The outlet should be secured with a fuse with a minimum value of „16 amperes,
slow“.
+ In order to reduce the risk of an electric shock, always unplug the equipment from
the mains socket immediately after your workout, before assembly or dismantling,
and before maintenance or cleaning. Do not pull on the cable.
+ When plugged in, do not leave the equipment unattended at any time. To avoid
use by anyone unfamiliar with the operating instructions, the power cable should
be removed when the equipment is not in use.
+ Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not route the power
cable underneath the equipment or under a carpet or rug, and do not place any
objects on top of it.
+ Make no modications to either the power cable or the mains plug.
+ If the power cable or the plug are damaged or defective, contact your authorized
contract partner. Do not use the equipment in the meantime.
+ Do not keep electrical devices (e. g., mobile phones) in close proximity to the
console or the control electronics, otherwise display values (e. g., pulse measuring)
could be inaccurate.
1.4 Set-up place
+ The equipment should only be used indoors, in a suciently heated and dry area
(ambient temperature between 10°C and 35°C). The equipment should not be
used outdoors or in rooms with high humidity (over 70%) like swimming pools. The
equipment should only be stored in surroundings with an ambient temperature
between 5°C and 45°C.
+ The training room should be well ventilated during training and not be exposed to
any draughts.
+ Choose a location in which to place the equipment such that there is enough free
space/clearance to the front, the rear and to the sides of the equipment (at least
1.50 m). Furthermore, the equipment should not be set up in main entrances or on
escape routes.
+ Always keep the power cable away from hot surfaces and grounds and make sure
that the cable is not stuck somewhere or becomes a „trip hazard“.
+ No objects of any type should be inserted into the openings of the equipment.
9
+ The equipment should be placed on a level and solid surface, any unevenness in
the oor should be leveled out.
+ A oor protective mat / equipment underlay can help to protect high-quality oor
coverings (parquet, laminate, cork, carpets) from dents and sweat and can help to
level out slight unevenness.

5 WORKOUT INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 Heart-rate measuring
Pulse measuring via hand sensors
The hand sensors integrated in the handles beside the seat allow you to determine
your heart rate. You can measure your heart rate by lightly grasping the sensors with
both hands at the same time. Blood pressure changes occur due to the heartbeat. The
sensors measure the changes to the electric skin resistance caused by it. These values
are then used to create an average and are displayed on the screen of the console as
a heart rate.
Note:
For some people, the skin resistance change caused by the heart rate is so minimal
that the measurements do not allow for usable values. Strong callus or sweat on the
hands may also impair a correct measurement. In such cases, the heart rate will not be
shown at all or only incorrectly.
If the measurement is incorrect or not taken at all, please check if it happens to only
one person or to several people. If the pulse display only does not work in a single
case, the equipment is not defective. In this case, we recommend using a chest strap
to achieve a permanently correct heart rate display.
CAUTION: Your training equipment is not a medical device. Dierent factors
may inuence the accuracy of the heart rate display. The heart rate display only
serves as a training aid.
Telemetric heart rate measuring
This ergometer is already equipped with a heart rate receiver as standard. Using a
chest strap makes it possible for you to have a wireless heart rate measuring. This
optimal and ECG-precise type of measuring reads the heart rate directly from the
skin through a transmitting chest strap. The chest strap then sends the impulse to the
receiver integrated in the console.
Positioning the chest strap and moistening the electrodes:
Place the belt directly below the chest, while the transmitter should be placed on the
middle of the chest. The chest strap should sit comfortably, but not too loose. If the
belt is too loose, the contact to the electrodes may be disrupted or the belt may slip
BX70i
30
while exercising. The transmitter turns on automatically once it is put on. In order to
allow for a precise measuring, you should moisten the rubber electrodes. This is best
done with a special chest strap contact gel, which is also used for ultrasound scans.
Note:
If you have not been active in doing sports for a longer period of time, you should
rst go to your physician in order to discuss your training with them. You should also
contact your physician in advance in the event of heart problems, high/low blood
pressure and obesity.
Training with heart rate orientation
Heart rate orientation guarantees an extremely eective and healthy training. Through
your age and the following table, you can quickly and easily read and determine the
optimal pulse for your training. An acoustic alarm will sound if your heart rate exceeds
the set target heart rate. Which target heart rate is important for which training goal
can be found out in the following.
Fat burning (weight management): The main goal here is to burn deposits of fat. In
order to achieve this training goal, a low training intensity (approximately 55% of the
maximum heart rate) and a longer training period are required.
Cardiovascular training (cardio training): The primary goal is to increase stamina
and tness through an improved provision of oxygen through the cardiovascular
system. In order to achieve this training goal, medium intensity (approximately 75%
of the maximum heart rate) with a medium training period is required.
Anaerobic (maximum) load training: The main goal of maximum load training is to
improve recovery after short, intense loads in order to be able to quickly return to the
aerobic zone. In order to achieve this training goal, a high intensity (approximately
90% of the maximum heart rate) with short, intense load is required, which is followed
by a recovery phase in order to prevent muscle fatigue.
31
Example:
For a 45-year-old man or woman, the maximum heart rate is 175 (220 - 45 = 175).
• The fat burning target zone (55%) is at approximately 96 beats/min.
= (220 - age) x 0.55.
• The cardio target zone (75%) is at approximately 131 beats/min.
= (220 - age) x 0.75.
• The maximum heart rate for an anaerobic load training (90%) is at approximately
157 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.9.

5.2 10 tips for eective ergometer training
1. Set goals
What would you like to achieve with your training? Weight regulation, improved
stamina, prevent risk of disease, more mobility, cardiovascular training, etc. In order
to achieve your long-term training goal, set individual partial goals, e. g., weekly or
monthly goals.
2. Concentration on training
Try to only dedicate yourself to your training unit and do not be distracted.
3. Position yourself correctly while exercising
As you pedal, your upper body should be shifted slightly forward and your back held
straight. Avoid side-to-side motion in the hips and back.
4. Correct breathing / appropriate resistance level
Do not overexert yourself physically and mentally by starting with resistance levels
that are too high. Start slowly and increase the resistance steadily. Aim for regular and
calm breathing.
5. Keep yourself properly hydrated
Drink, drink, drink! Have a drinking bottle close by during your workout.
6. Sucient recovery periods
Allow your body and your muscles enough time to recover after your workout. Only a
relaxed muscle will be fully operational again.
7. Choose a diversied program
Dierent program functions of your training console support you in doing this. For
example, you can complete an interval, incline or step counting training session.
8. Creating the right workout
Every training session should have a warm-up phase, a cool-down phase and a
targeted stretching. It increases physical and mental performance and prevents
injuries and sore muscles.

9. Workout journal
Keep a record of your training sessions. Note the date, resting pulse, active pulse, recovery
pulse, resistance level, time, distance, calories burnt and tness level.
10. Reward yourself
Do something good for you and your body after training or after achieving a partial goal.
Go to the sauna or a swimming pool. Mix a protein shake or enjoy a delicious salad.
5.3 Designing a workout
We recommend two to three training sessions a week. There should be a ve-minute
warm-up phase before every training. The training ends with a cool-down and targeted
stretching.
Warm-Up approx. ve min. Dynamic movement of larger muscle groups at
low intensity. The body core temperature rises
and the metabolism process starts quicker.
