Switching on and o
To turn the mains powered version of the equipment o, switch the main switch to “0” (OFF)
position.
The equipment must be switched o only at the end of the exercise, when in standby.
If the equipment isn’t going to be used for a long time, as well as turning it o you should also
pull the plug out of the wall socket.
W
The switch is for turning the equipment on and o but does not isolate it
completely from the mains voltage, even in the “0” position (o). For complete
isolation you must unplug the power supply plug.
To turn the battery-powered version of the equipment o, just stop moving.
Synchro Excite

Page 34
Monitoring the heart rate
The equipment is able to measure heart rate trends, in two dierent ways:
- with a device applied to the xed handgrips or to the levers (hand sensor), that switches
on when you grip the handgrips or levers in the sensor region;
- with a chest band with a heart rate transmitter (Polar T31).
There must be no more than one transmitter in the reception range: otherwise the receiver
may receive dierent signals at the same time and give incorrect heart readings. If there
are several equipment units with heart rate receivers in the same area, the recommended
minimum distance between them is 80 cm.
Heart rate readings will not be accurate near electromagnetic radiation sources (TVs,
cellphones, etc.).
Should you have any doubts about the accuracy of the readings, contact the Technical Support
Service.
Synchro Excite
34
Page 35
Monitoring the heart rate
The table below shows optimum heart rate levels in relation to age and the
purpose pursued.
Theoretical maximum heart rate (100%) is calculated on the basis of age
using the formula: Max HR = 207 - 0.7 x age (R. L. Gelish et alii, Med Sci
Sports Exerc., 2007 May, 39 (5): 281).
To read the graph, simply nd your age on the horizontal axis and scan up
the vertical until you reach the 60%, 70% and 90% values.
Aerobic exercise performed at a heart rate between 60% and 70% mainly
burns fat as an energy source.
When doing aerobic exercise at a heart rate of 70% to 90% the
cardiocirculatory component prevails.
For example, if someone aged 30 wants to burn o fat, the heart rate during
exercise should be kept to between 112 (60%) and 131 (70%); if he or she
wants to improve cardio-respiratory capacity, the heart rate should be kept
to between 131 (70%) and 168 (90%).

Monitoring the heart rate
W
During a workout it is very important that your heart rate never goes above 90% of your maximum rate (unless you are an athlete
engaged in competitive sport).
The sole function of the heart rate monitor is to display the heart rate during exercise and cannot be used for medical cardiac
diagnoses of any kind. The heart rate shown on the display is purely indicative and cannot be considered absolutely certain.
You are advised not to use a chest band with heart rate monitor if you have a cardiac support device such as a pacemaker or similar.

Using the equipment
Step onto the equipment from one side and put one foot on each pedal.Grasp one of the xed
handgrips with one hand, and with the other set a program on the control panel.
To perform the movement with your lower limbs only, hold on to the xed handgrips. To perform
movement with your arms as well, hold the levers.
At the beginning move slowly until you become familiar with the equipment and acquire balance.
It is important that you get used to the movement without leaning forward and assuming
unnatural positions.
Once you become more condent, gradually increase the eort level.
Constantly check your position: head held high, shoulders in line with the hips, abdomen
sucked in and trunk erect. To maintain correct posture you must keep legs and feet parallel
and gaze straight ahead.
W
Any distractions in the area around the equipment may cause the user to lose
his/her balance.
Synchro is to be used solely for its intended purpose, i.e. for aerobic exercise of the
legs and arms. Any other use of the equipment is to be considered improper and
therefore dangerous.
