 Place the unit on a solid, flat and non-sliding ground and level the unit with

the adjusting feet, so that it does not move.

 For the set-up a safety clearance of 100 cm to all sides is necessary to ensure a

safe access also in emergencies. Safety clearances between the devices are
allowed to overlap; see picture.

 The usage may only take place in dry rooms (< 65% humidity, > 0 < 45°C room

temperature).

 Pay attention that there is no electromagnetic radiation like mobile phones or

fluorescent tubes, because they may affect the measurement of the heart rate.

 Do not locate the units on thick rubber mats. Ensure that the unit gets airing from all sides.
 All units of the cardio line are self-powered. The user will either generate the electricity by pedalling or

– especially while programming – will be supported by the standard, built-in battery pack. The battery
power will last for about two years. See topic “5 Maintenance” for battery change.

 Attention: Please consider the standards for care, maintenance and servicing in chapter 5 of this manual.

3.3 Safe training

 Before starting to exercise, the fitness of the user has to be ensured by an authorised specialist or a

doctor. Please note topic 3.3 Indications and Contraindications.

 Excessive exercise can be dangerous.
 When nausea or dizziness occurs, the work-out has to be stopped right away and a doctor needs to be

allocated.

 The training on the units is allowed with unbruised skin only.
 While exercising light, tight fitting clothing, which cannot be caught in parts of the unit is

recommended. Always wear sports shoes to ensure a good balance on the pedals.

 Please check the unit before exercising for a good level, faulty parts or other manipulations. In case of a

defect or if you are not sure, ask a supervisor.

 Before the start of the workout it must be assured that no one is close to moving parts, to avoid danger

for a third person. Above all, hold unattended children off the units.

 As a safety function, the stop button is always active and immediately slows down the motion when

pushed.

 To exercise in a biomechanical proper position the unit has to get adjusted. The seat can get adjusted

horizontally. To adjust the seat unit the unlocking on the right handle has to get operated. The position
should be chosen to ensure that in the lowest pedal position the knee still has a 10° bending.

 As an option the relax has a movable back rest. By operating the unlocking on the left handle, the

inclination of the back rest can get adapted stepless.

 Warning: The system to control the heart rate can be faulty. Excessive workouts can lead to serious

injury or death. When nausea or dizziness occurs, the work-out has to be stopped right away.

 Warning: Solely use unit with the casing.

 Warning if using optional power supply: use exclusively medical power supply units according to IEC

60601-1 which are approved by the manufacturer.

3.4 Indications and contraindications
Indications

4 Operating the display

Depending on the program version chosen, three/eleven training programs and eventually the optional test
programs allow an individual and diversified training.
Depending on the program version chosen, three/nine training programs and eventually the optional test
programs allow an individual and diversified training.

4.1 Polar® – pulse system

Every piece of equipment of the cardio line includes the original Polar Pulse System, which receives signals from
a breast belt by the exerciser (the breast belt is not included in the delivery of the equipment). The wireless
transmission to the electric display is coded. The Polar© technology is based on a magnetic field, which transfers
the signals. This magnetic field can be interfered by several sources. The most common reason is the use of
breast belts that are not 100% compatible with the Polar©-System and commonly have a longer range. Cell
phones, speakers, TVs, power lines, fluorescent tubes, and motors with high power can also interfere with the
Polar© Pulse System.
The measuring of the pulse frequency is ECG precise. Only when using coded breast belts, like T31C, the heart
rate gets transferred coded. When using an uncoded breast belt, like T31, the transfer is uncoded.

Hand pulse (optional – solely for units of the fitness line)

As an option, all units of the cardio line (fitness), excluding the body, can be equipped with a Polar© hand pulse
system combined with a coded wireless signal transmitter. With this technology, two advanced measuring
systems work together. The hand pulse measurement has priority over the wireless signal. When all 4 sensors are
touched, a hand symbol becomes displayed on the monitor. Approximately 10 seconds later, the digital
frequency display appears.
Please note, that cold dry hands, but also hands with lotion influence the measurement negatively. Because of
those reasons the hand pulse only works for about 95% of the users. In general, the hand pulse is not advisable
for tests and pulse controlled training.

Ear-pulse (optional)

The ear-pulse-system with the optical measuring at the earlobe is available as an
option. If an ear-pulse cable is connected it has priority over Polar© pulse
measurement, which will get disconnected. Attention: Rub earlobe
thoroughly before applying the ear sensor. To check proper operation of the sensor
switch to the pulse display for surveillance. Therefore press the Scan-button three
times while exercising. The indication for the pulse signals has to be high and at regular intervals.

Multi-colour-backlight

All ergometers are equipped with a multicolour backlight for the LCD-Display. The electricity gets provided by
the brake. The brightness depends on the current load. Lighting is not possible with really low load because the
required power can´t get provided safely. The backlight of the ergometer turns on after some seconds in use.
Due to the backlight it´s easier to read the display, even if lighting conditions are bad.

Safety advice according to DIN EN ISO 20957

Warning! Systems for the heart rate surveillance can b e faulty.
Excessive workouts can lead to serious physical damage or death.
Abort the workout immediately when dizziness or nausea occurs.

4.2 Overview Display / button functions

Clockwise explanation of the buttons, starting with the Stop button.

 The STOP button stops the workout and activates the electronic brake, which will generate a maximum

workload for 8 seconds to bring the movement to a halt. After that, the COOL function can be used to
conduct a cool down with low intensity.

 The PROG button must be pressed to start the selection of programs available – solely if no storage

media is used.

 The Cool button stops the workout before the end of the chosen program, begins with the cool down

mode and finishes the workout with a low intensity. The workout data is shown and saved on the
storage media, if the workout has been started using a storage media.

 The Scan button changes the display mode, parameters, or graphical displays within the Dot Matrix on

the monitor.

 The Smart Key buttons function as shown in the Dot Matrix area of the monitor according to the

situational need.

 Reset button – Initially, the Reset button is not visible for the user. It is hidden in the extension of the

smart key buttons at the upper edge of the LCD-display. If the system should operate faulty, the reset
button gives you the option to restart the processor. This is only possible if no activity is being conducted
on the unit, meaning zero revolutions.

 The + button increases value of the parameters.
 By using the Enter button, values of parameters or display modes are selected.
 The - button decreases the value of the parameters.
