28 STEP 17 How to Set the Number of Fitness Products per Pod Upon setup, the number of fitness products per pod must be entered into the memory of each product. If this is not done properly, the inverter might get overloaded and its fuse might break. Details about this procedure are explained below. A group of fitness products connected to one inverter is called a pod. The number of fitness products per pod determines the maximum power output per unit. One inverter can process up to 2000 watts of power. For a maximum of Green System fitness products, please contact your local distributor. For pods with eight or more units, the maximum output per product can be calculated through a simple formula: Divide 2000 watts by the number of fitness products in the pod. For example, for a ten-unit pod, calculate 2000/10=200. That means that the maximum power output of each unit in a 10-unit pod is 200 watts. (This is the factory default setting.) Such power output maximums are calculated automatically, once the number of units in the pod has been established. At setup, follow the steps below to enter into each fitness product the number of units in the pod. 1. Simultaneously press and hold WORKOUT LEVEL< > + WORKOUT LEVEL< >+CHANGE DISPLAY keys for two seconds. This activates the passcode setting mode. 2. The message screen will show PASSWORD The passcode 8250 must be entered before the number of units in the pod can be entered. Follow instructions below to input the passcode. a. Use numeric keys 0 through 9 to enter the first digit of the four-digit passcode After inputting the first digit, 8, press the < > key to confirm your choice. b. Then input the next number, 2, followed by the < > key. Proceed in this fashion until all four digits of the passcode have been entered. If necessary, press the < > key to return to a preceding entry. Then press the correct numerical key. After inputting a number value, always press the < >key to confirm your choice. c. After the four-digit passcode has been entered correctly, the product will automatically enter the units per pod setting mode. 25

29 3. The previous (or default) value for the number of units in the pod will appear in the setting value screen, and the following message will appear in the dot matrix screen: ENTER NUMBER OF CARDIO PRODUCTS CONNECTED. a. Press < / > keys or numeric keys (0 through 9) to input the number of products in the pod. b. If desired, press the CLEAR key to reset all values to zero. c. After the correct number of units in the pod has been entered, press the ENTER key to commit the number to the product memory. After the ENTER key has been pressed, the units per pod setting mode will end. d. If desired, press the STOP key at any time to exit this mode and to maintain the previous setting. 26

At the end of the test, END OF FIT TEST will appear on the exercise feedback screen, followed by YOUR SCORE IS???, where??? represents a number from 0 to 90, with 90 being the maximum score possible. HR<80 BPM HR BPM HR BPM HR>100 BPM CARDIO/WEIGHT LOSS In these heart rate control programs, the resistance level and recommended RPM will automatically change to keep the exerciser's pulse at the optimum rate for achieving his or her fitness goals. Target heart rates are calculated based on a standard "maximum" heart rate for the exerciser's age. The weight loss target heart rate is calculated at 65% of the maximum heart rate: (220-age)*65%. The cardio target heart rate is calculated at 80% of the maximum heart rate: (220-age)*80%. After a heart rate control workout is activated, a heart illustration will appear on the dot matrix screen. The color of the heart illustration will alternate from green to red with the user's pulse. 41

45 Once the exerciser begins to pedal, a red dot and a green line will appear on the lower part of the screen. The red dot represents the recommended RPM; the green line represents actual RPM. Try to maintain an RPM even with the red dot. In the illustration below, 124 represents the target heart rate. When actual heart rate is one or more whole numbers above the target heart rate for more than six seconds, RPM decreases by five RPM. Adjustments will not exceed the minimum, 40 RPM. Such adjustments occur once every six seconds. The resistance level changes as follows: When actual heart rate is less than the target heart rate by more than three whole numbers for more than five seconds, resistance increases by one segment until the maximum, 80 segments (LEVEL 20), is obtained. Such adjustments occur once every five seconds. When actual heart rate exceeds the target heart rate by one or more for more than two seconds, resistance decreases by one segment. After making adjustments four times consecutively, if actual heart rate is not less than the target heart rate, no adjustments will occur for 15 seconds, after which downward adjustments will occur every two seconds. Adjustments will not fall below 12 segments (LEVEL 3). Note: Each resistance level occupies four columns. A telemetry heart rate transmitter must be worn during heart rate control programs. If no heart rate signal is received at the display for 30 seconds, the message "NO HEART RATE READING, PLEASE CHECK TRANSMITTER" will appear, and resistance will not change automatically. 42

46 INTERVAL (INTV) There are three interval programs: 1:1, 1:2, 2:2. Interval 1:1 indicates one segment of one minute in duration, followed by a second segment of one minute in duration. Interval 1:2 indicates one segment of one minute in duration, followed by a second segment of two minutes in duration. Interval 2:2 indicates one segment of two minutes in duration, followed by a second segment of two minutes in duration. After the INTERVAL key is pressed and user information is entered into the display, the message window will appear as follows: At this time, the workout goal percentage completed screen and the dot matrix screen will not be lit. If no keys are pressed within six seconds, the following prompt will appear for two seconds on the exercise feedback screen: At this time, press numerical keys 1, 2, or 3 to select one of the three interval programs, or directly press the ENTER key to choose the first interval program, INTERVAL 1:1. 1. INTERVAL 1:1 The rest segment resistance setting is level five; the work segment resistance setting is level eleven. 2. INTERVAL 1:2 The rest segment resistance setting is level five; the work segment resistance setting is level

47 3. INTERVAL 2:2 The rest segment resistance setting is level five; the work segment resistance setting is level 11. Rest and work segments are represented by dots. One dot represents one third of a minute (20 seconds). During an interval, resistance can be changed at any time. The resistance setting of the remaining part of the active segment will change. Already completed segments will remain unchanged. The first time that a rest segment transitions to a work segment, the following message will appear for two seconds on the exercise feedback screen: Likewise, the first time that a work segment transitions to a rest segment, the display will beep once, and the following message will appear for two seconds: 44

48 At subsequent segment transitions, these messages will not appear on the display; the display will only beep once to indicate the change of a segment. When entering the interval program from another program, the following message will appear for two seconds: Each time the INTERVAL key is pressed, interval programs appear in the following order: I N T E R V A L 1-2 I N T E R V A L 2-2 I N T E R V A L 1-1 PLATEAU When the plateau program is selected, the time LED lights up, and the time goal setting process begins. Resistance levels in this time-based workout program gradually increase, level off, then gradually decrease. The first and last segments of this workout each occupy 20% of the workout. The middle segment occupies 60% of the workout. In the first segment, resistance increases from level one to level twelve. The middle segment retains level twelve resistance. In the last segment, resistance drops from level twelve to level one. The slope of the increase or decrease in resistance depends on the goal setting. When WORKOUT LEVEL < / >keys are pressed, the dot matrix illustration will rise or fall correspondingly. 45

49 FAT BURN This workout challenges exercisers with 20 stages of increasing physical intensity. The default startup stage is stage five. After selecting the FAT BURN workout, simply press LEVEL < / > keys to select a different stage. Then start exercising. Within each stage, resistance levels occur in various patterns. Each resistance level lasts for one minute. The chart below shows stage numbers and their corresponding workout levels. Dots indicate a repetition of the pattern. Stage 1: 1,2,... Stage 2: 1,2,3,... Stage 3: 1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1,... Stage 4: 1.3,5,2,4,... Stage 5: 2,4,6,1,3,5,... Stage 6: 1,4,7,2,3,5,6,... Stage 7: 1,2,3,4,8,7,6,5,... Stage 8: 2,4,6,8,3,5,7,9,... Stage 9: 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,... Stage 10: 4,6,8,10,5,7,9,11,... Stage 11: 5,6,12,7,8,11,9,10,... Stage 12: 6,7,8,13,9,10,11,12,... Stage 13: 7,9,11,8,10,12,13,14,... Stage 14: 8,9,10,10,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,15,... Stage 15: 9,10,16,15,14,13,12,11,... Stage 16: 10,13,15,17,17,16,15,14,12,11,... Stage 17: 11,12,13,14,18,17,16,15,... Stage 18: 12,19,13,18,14,17,16,15,... Stage 19: 13,20,14,19,15,18,16,17, Stage 20: 14,20,15,20,16,20,17,20,18,20,19,20,... Each time one stage advances to a higher stage, the message window will show the new stage number. Example: STAGE 9 STAGE 10 The workout illustration on the dot matrix screen will appear as follows. Example: Stage 10 46

50 The lowest resistance level of each stage becomes the reference resistance level, from which the progression is built. CUSTOM The CUSTOM heart rate control program allows you to set your target heart rate. The CUSTOM heart rate setting range is 84 to 199 beats per minute, with a default setting of 120 beats per minute. Upon entering this workout, the goal LED will light, the default target heart rate of 120 will flash, and "ENTER TARGET HR" will appear on the message screen. Use < / >keys or numeric keys (0-9) to increase or decrease the target heart rate. Beat per minute values change by one beat each time < / > keys are pressed. To change values faster, hold these keys down for more than one second. Values will change by one beat per minute every 0.2 second. Press the ENTER key to confirm your setting. If you do not press the ENTER key within six seconds, the message window will show "PRESS ENTER". If your entry exceeds the range of 84 to 199 beats per minute, the default target of 120 beats per minute remains on screen, and the following prompt appears for two seconds on the message screen: Other notes: Press the CLEAR key to return to the default (120 beats per minute). The <.> decimal key is not effective in this setting. Follow prompts to establish your speed and to begin your workout. 47

51 OPERATION Switching Workouts A different workout program can be activated from any workout program. The original workout goal will remain in effect, and workout feedback will continue to accrue. For example, in a random workout with distance as the goal, if you press the INTERVAL key, distance will remain the goal and continue to accrue. Workout goals can be adjusted after they are established. To do so, press the original WORKOUT GOAL key, adjust the goal setting with arrow or numeric keys, and press the ENTER key to confirm the setting. The new workout goal takes effect under certain conditions, as follows: If the new value is lower than the actual workout value, the original goal setting value remains in effect. If the new value is lower than the goal's lowest range value, the lowest range value becomes the setting value. But if the lowest range value is lower than the actual value (shown in the workout feedback display), the original setting remains in effect. If the new value is higher than the actual workout value and lower than the original setting, the setting value decreases. If the new value is higher than the actual workout value and higher than the original setting, the setting value increases. If distance or calories is the workout goal, increasing or decreasing the goal setting will not result in a change in the dot matrix illustration. When time is the workout goal, increasing or decreasing the goal setting results in a change to the dot matrix illustration as follows: When the present illustration occupies less than 12 columns, increasing the setting value results in an increase in the number of columns. When the present illustration shows more than 12 columns, decreasing the goal setting to more than 12 columns results in no change. 48

52 The illustration below shows the result of increasing (right) or decreasing (left) the setting. If setting values are not changed within 12 seconds, or the ENTER key is not pressed, no change is made.

55 7. ABOUT HEART RATE DETECTION AND PRESENTATION Heart rate detection functions are selected when the distributor orders from the SportsArt factory. Not every product comes equipped with all types of heart rate detection. If your product is equipped with these functions, please note the following information. HEART RATE Telemetry The word "telemetry" heart rate refers to the detection of the heart rate, usually via a strap worn on the exerciser's chest and transmitted over the air for reception by a receiver built into the product. The following explains conditions that influence the performance of the telemetry heart rate function in all products. 1. The telemetry heart rate transmitter emits a wireless 5kHz signal that is harmless to the human body. Inside the transmitter is a 3V battery (CR2032). If the battery charge is too low, either the reception distance shortens or there will be no reception whatsoever. 2. Secure the telemetry heart rate transmitter on your chest so it is neither too tight nor too loose. Moisten the skin for better contact. 3. The telemetry heart rate receiver accepts a 5kHz wireless signal, but because the signal varies from 20Hz to 20KHz, it is susceptible to environmental interference. Stereos, TVs, other electronic products, the vibration between the unit and the floor, and other factors may interfere with telemetry heart rate signal reception. For best results, install the product in a location free from interfering items. 4. Space fitness products apart by at least 39 inches (100 cm) to avoid having the heart rate value from an exerciser on one product appear on another product. 5. Heart rate values are for comparison only. Do not use them for medical treatment or other purposes. HEART RATE Contact It is easy to use the contact heart rate mechanism. Simply put both hands on the silver contact plates (one per side) and hold them there continuously. As soon as your pulse is received and calculated, the heart rate will automatically appear on the display. Please note that some people have very weak heart beats. This makes heart rate detection difficult. Under such circumstances, the contact heart rate mechanism may not detect heart rate. Please note the following: 1. For best results, continuously hold the contact heart rate plates. 2. It is difficult to detect the heart rate of people who have low systolic blood pressure. 3. It is difficult to detect the heart rate of people who have dry, course palms. Keeping palms smooth and damp improves heart rate detection. 52

56 NOTE: TO PREVENT STATIC ELECTICAL SHOCKS In dry areas in particular, static electricity can interfere with unit operation and shock people. Suggestion: Before touching metal parts of the product, first touch a material with electrically isolative properties, such as the plastic on the handlebars. CAUTION: Heart rate detection and signal transmission devices have been known to interfere with the operation of pacemakers, possibly endangering human life. If you have a pacemaker, the use of such devices must be undertaken at your own risk. We recommend that you conduct an exercise test under your doctor's supervision. The purpose of the test would be to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and such devices. 53

57 8. GUIDELINES FOR EXERCISE HOW HARD SHOULD I EXERCISE? Studies show that to achieve the benefits of aerobic exercise, it is necessary to work within your training zone. Your training zone depends on your age and level of fitness. HE The darkened area in the chart to the right indicates the recommended heart rate training zone. These figures are calculated by taking 220 minus your age, and calculating 80% for your maximum and 65% for the minimum heart rate for aerobic exercise. CAUTION: Heart Rate training zones are approximations. Always check with your physician to understand what heart rate goal would be appropriate for you. HOW LONG SHOULD I EXERCISE? The duration of your exercise session depends on your fitness level. In general, it is recommended that you maintain your heart rate in the training zone for at least 15 to 20 minutes to realize an aerobic benefit. Beginners should always start slowly and gradually increase the duration of their workouts.. As your fitness level improves, you will be able to maintain your heart rate in the training zone for longer periods of time. When beginning your workout, use the first several minutes to warm up, then slowly increase your workload to bring your heart rate into your specific training zone. At the end of your workout, gradually decease your workload, then exercise lightly to cool down. HOW OFTEN SHOULD I EXERCISE? Research indicates that to achieve the greatest benefits, exercise should be performed three to five times per week. It is important to allow sufficient time, at least 24 hours, for your body to recover after exercise. 54

58 9. MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Messages This product can show the following messages. --- Three flashing lines indicate that the unit is entering power saving mode. This mode shuts off workout feedback information. It is activated 50 seconds after no one presses keys or moves pedals. NOT GRID This message indicates that the unit has entered the not grid mode, in which a large resistor supplies resistance, usually due to inverter malfunction. This mode is activated by flipping a switch on the boost converter box. In this mode, power is not sent to the inverter. The alternator in the product supplies a maximum of 100 watts of resistance. If the large resistor gets too hot, resistance output is limited to 50 watts. When the operating temperature cools, resistance will again increase to 100 watts. ERR1 This message indicates that the inverter is overloaded. It can appear once every 30 seconds after a workout has begun. At this time, the fitness product can operate normally except for the resistance function. There will be no resistance. To remedy the situation, turn off unit power. Then turn on unit power to recover normal operation. Inspect the accuracy of the setting for the number of units in the pod. Refer to instructions for setting the number of fitness products per pod. ERR2 This message indicates that the large resistor is too hot. It only appears when the resistor is too hot. At this time, the product will not be operational. ERR4 The large resistor is not operating. At this time, the product will not be operational. 55

59 MAINTENANCE Disconnecting the Boost Converter Box Please note the following precautions before detaching the boost converter box from the fitness product. First, turn power off. Detach the boost converter box by following steps (A) through (D). Note the sequence of steps, 1 2, in which cables must be disconnected in steps (C) and (D). In step (D), first press area A upward to release the cable. 56
