A sensor housed inside the transmitter records
how many times the magnet fitted on the flywheel
crosses the sensor itself. The transmitter then sends
the recorded values to the display, with coded radio
frequencies.

A receiver located in the lower end of the display
receives the heart rate signals from the telemetric
chest belt.

Product description

Press any key to switch on the display; after 5
consecutive minutes without receiving any signal, the
display switches off automatically.

The display visualises the cadence, heart rate, elapsed
time, distance covered and calories burned, as
described below.

The top frame displays the cadence in RPM - i.e. how fast the flywheel is turning.
AVG (average) indicates the average value since the start of the exercise.

The middle frame displays the heart rate recorded by the chest belt; the heart rate is expressed
in beats per minute.
AVG (average) indicates the average value since the start of the exercise.
%: this section of the display indicates what percentage of the target heart rate the recorded heart
rate corresponds to.
The target heart rate is calculated using the maximum heart rate (max. HR) and the ambient heart
rate (AHR). The max. HR is calculated using the formula: 220 - age; the ambient heart rate is set
each time: see the paragraph “Personal data settings and chest belt tuning”.
Moreover, an arrow pointing upwards or downwards may appear under the heart symbol to signal
that the training intensity must be increased or decreased to stay within the target zone.
To tune the chest belt to the receiver, consult the paragraph “Personal data setting and chest belt
tuning”.

The bottom frame alternately displays the following data:

- TIME, time elapsed since the start of training - expressed in min:sec.

- DISTANCE, the approximate distance that would have been covered by pedalling a standard
bicycle on the road.

- KCAL, the approximate number of kilocalories burned during the exercise. The kilocalorie estimate
is expressed as the ratio between the instantaneous heart rate and the age, weight and ambient
heart rate.

During the exercise, the progress bar on the bottom fills up in 60 minutes.
To set the unit of measurement for the distance (kilometres or miles), before starting the exercise
press the RETURN key twice to visualise the distance; then simultaneously press and hold the
RETURN and PLAY keys.

Personal data settings and chest belt tuning

The product comes with the following default settings when purchased:

- age (AGE): 30 years

- weight (KG / LBS): 70 kg (154 lbs)

- ambient heart rate (AHR): 70 bpm

These settings are required to calculate the calories burned and the target heart rate.
If the user does not enter his/her personal data, the kilocalories burned and target heart rate are calculated on the
basis of the default settings.
To enter personal data and tune the chest belt, press any key to switch on the display, then press and hold the
RETURN key.

Press the INCREASE key to increase the figure by one; keep the INCREASE key depressed to scroll the digits.
Press the DECREASE key to decrease the figure by one; keep the DECREASE key depressed to scroll the digits.
Press the RETURN key to skip to the next parameter.

After entering the ambient heart rate (AHR), tune the chest belt to the receiver:

- Wet the sensor area and put on the chest belt.

- Move to within at least 15 cm from the receiver area, marked by the symbol

- Wait for the chest belt code to appear.

on the display.

If the chest belt is an ANT+ digital type belt, the code is alphanumeric; if a different type of chest belt is used, 4 zero
digits (0000) will appear.

Once the transmitter and receiver are tuned, the heart rate reading will appear in the middle frame of the display.
If tuning is not successfully completed within 20 seconds, or if the heart rate reading is incorrect, move closer towards
the receiver zone and press the PLAY key to restart the procedure.

Press the RETURN key to exit the settings and tuning menu.

The personal data entered may be modified even during the exercise or pause.
The chest belt must be tuned prior to starting the exercise and must be retuned before every new exercise.
If the display turns off automatically (after 5 consecutive minutes without any movement), the personal data stay
memorised. On the other hand, the default settings are restored if the display is switched off using the PLAY key.

Warning
It is advisable to use ANT+ type chest belts.
An analogue chest belt may be subject to interferences
from nearby users.

If using analogue chest belts, the equipment must be placed
at least 170 cm from each other as shown in the picture, in
order to avoid interferences.

Tuning the cadence receiver

Upon initial installation, in order to ensure that the cadence data is correctly displayed, the transmission mode must
be set - either belt or chain.
Upon purchasing the product, “chain” transmission is the default setting.

- Remove the batteries from the display.

- Insert the same batteries again while keeping any button depressed.

- Press the RETURN button; the receiver code is visualised.

- Press the RETURN button again; the default setting (i.e. “chain”) is visualised.

- Press the INCREASE or DECREASE button to modify the parameter.

- Press the RETURN button to confirm the visualised parameter and exit.

chain belt

If the cadence reading (RPM) is incorrect, verify that the display receiver and the transmitter have the same code.

If the codes match, replace the transmitter batteries.

If the data are still incorrect after replacing the batteries, proceed with tuning.

- Remove the batteries from the display.

- Insert the same batteries again while keeping any key depressed.

- Press the RETURN key and check the code appearing on the lower frame of the display. This code must match
the code printed on the transmitter.

- Press and hold the PLAY key; the display visualises code 0000.

- Set the same code as that appearing on the transmitter: press the INCREASE or DECREASE key to modify the
single digit; press the PLAY key to skip to the next digit.

If the data are still incorrect after completing this tuning procedure, contact the Technogym Technical Assistance
Service.
