6. OPERATING THE C521M CYCLE There are two ways to start operating the C521M cycle: Either press the QUICK START key to begin exercising immediately, or press the START key to begin exercising after inputting user information.

OPERATION Quick Start At the startup banner screen, press the QUICK START key to start exercising immediately. The default user weight of 165 lb. or 75 kg and default age of 35 years will be the basis for calorie and target heart rate calculations. Time will count up. Resistance will start at level 1 and can be modified at any time. In this mode of operation, workout programs, except for iso-kinetic and iso-strength, can be activated at any time. Time will count up. Resistance can be modified at any time. If no one pedals, the display will show “PEDAL TO START” once every four seconds. If no one pedals for more than two minutes, the display will show the startup banner screen, “SPORTSART – C521M”.

OPERATION Start At the startup banner screen, press the START key to begin a workout after first creating a user ID and inputting user information. This operation mode offers two main advantages: ˙User IDs make workout tracking easy. Accumulated workout time, distance, and calorie expenditure information for a particular exerciser appears before and after each workout. ˙User age and weight provide the basis for calorie and target heart rate calculations. By inputting the exerciser's actual age and weight, target heart rates calorie expenditure values may be more appropriate to the user. Follow instructions below to establish a user ID and input user age and weight information. USER ID At the startup banner screen, press the START key. The last user ID to be activated will appear, along with that user's accumulated workout statistics. One of the following screens will appear every six seconds:

Resistance will begin at LEVEL 1.0. Suggested rotations per minute will be 50 RPM. Heart rate values change according to actual heart rate. When the exercise time expires, a cool down period will begin automatically. See OPERATION Cool Down for more information. CUSTOM HR In this heart rate control program, the exerciser determines target heart rate. Follow prompts to input your target heart rate. Target heart rate range is 84 to 199, with a default setting of 120. ISO-STRENGTH In this program, the target RPM is fixed; resistance automatically changes to maintain the target RPM. The target RPM range is 15 to 180, with a default value of 50. During the workout, the target RPM value can be set by pressing LEVEL <▲/▼> keys. Resistance will change automatically to maintain the target RPM setting. ISO-KINETIC In this program, the target wattage is fixed; resistance automatically changes to maintain the target wattage. The target wattage range is 10 to 800, with a default value of 10. During the workout, the target wattage value can be set by pressing LEVEL <▲/▼> keys. Resistance will change automatically to maintain the target wattage setting.

OPERATION Cool Down Once a workout goal is obtained, the display will show “ACCU DATA”. Accumulated workout data, including time, distance, calorie expenditure, and average heart rate, will appear on the display, and a two-minute cool down period will begin. “COOL DOWN” will appear, and time will count down from 2:00 to 0:00. Once the cool down period ends, workout program LEDs will flash, and the exercise feedback window will show “SELECT PROGRAM”. At this point, another workout can be activated after pressing the START or QUICK START key.

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. 44

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.
