combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A 

dieter should exercise daily, at first  30 minutes 

or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily 

workout time to one hour.

You should start slowly at a low pedaling 

speed and low resistance, because for an overweight 

person strenuous exercise may subject the heart 

and circulatory system to excessive strain. As 

fitness improves, resistance and pedaling speed can 

be increased gradually. Exercise efficiency can be 

measured by monitoring the pulse. The pulse meter 

helps you monitor your pulse easily during exercise, 

and thus to ensure that the exercise is sufficiently 

effective but not over-strenuous.

Start with slow tempo and low resistance. 

Gradually increase tempo and resistance according 

to your own condition. Keep your head up and 

neck long in order to avoid stress on your neck, 

shoulders and back. Keep also your back straight. 

Make sure, that your feet are centered on the 

foot pedals and that your hips, knees, ankles 

and toes are facing forward. Keep your body 

weight centered over your lower body regardless 

of whether you lean forward or stand upright. 

Stop your workout by gradually decreasing tempo 

and resistance. Don’t forget to strech afterwards. 

To strengthen cardiovascular system, maintain 

low resistance but high tempo. Exercising with 

higher resistance and slow tempo strengthens 

correspondingly your back and hips.

 Protect the meter from direct sunlight, as it 

may damage the liquid crystal display. Protect the 

meter from water and avoid severe impacts, as these 

may also damage the meter. 

The meter switches on automatically when 

you start pedaling or press any key on the meter, 

and switches off when you have not pedaled 

or pressed a key for about 4 minutes. The 

readings accumulated during your workout will be 

automatically reset when the meter is switched off. 

You can also reset the readings by pressing the 

key.

: Select the function to be preset.

 : Press to increase the preset values of time, 

counts, kcal or pulse.

 : Press to reduce the preset values of time, 

counts, kcal or pulse.

 Reset all the displays to zero.

(training speed): 0-199.

(The calories burned): 0.0-999 kcal.

: 40-240 beat / min. Place the palms of your 

hands on the both of the contact pads and the 

monitor will show up your current beat rate in beat 

per minute (BPM) on the display. If the pulse value 

is preset, the pulse display will start flashing when 

the pulse value exceeds the preset value. 

! If 

there is no pulse signal input within 16 seconds, 

the pulse measurement will be cancelled. The pulse 

measurement can then be resumed by pressing the 

 or   key. 

! Strong electromagnetic fields 

may cause disturbances in the pulse / heart rate 

measurement.

(number of elliptical training 

movements): 0-9999.

: 00:00 - 99:59. If 

is not preset, it will 

count up in one-second increment. 

Press 

key until the window to be preset 

is flashing. Press   or  until desired value is 

displayed. Start the exercise, and the monitor will 

begin to count down. The monitor will beep for 

12 seconds to indicate the completion of preset 

workout. Press any  key to stop beeping. If the 

pulse value is preset, the pulse display will start 

flashing when the pulse value exceeds the preset 

value. The meter returns to the basic display from 

preset function by pressing the 

key.

Press and hold 

key and the 

window 

will present a total training value (the total number 

of elliptical training movements counted by the 

device). After releasing the key, all the displays will 

reset to zero.

The equipment requires very little maintenance. 

Check, however, from time to time that all screws 

and nuts are tight. Clean the equipment with a 

damp cloth. Do not use solvents.

 Never remove the protective covers.

The brake forms a magnetic field 

which may damage the mechanism of a watch or 

the magnetic identification tape of a credit or cash 

card if they come into immediate contact with the 

magnets. Never attempt to detach or remove the 

magnet of the magnetic brake.

If you notice a malfunction during use, 

contact the dealer. Always give the model and 

serial number of your device, please state also 

the nature of the problem conditions of use 

and purchase date. In spite of continuous quality 

control, individual defects and malfunctions may 

occur in individual components. It is in most 

cases unnecessary to take the whole equipment 

for repair, as it is usually sufficient to replace the 

defective part.
