2 H OW TO USE THIS MANUAL After first reading the "Start Guide," assemble the machine and give the Model EC-C400R Ergometor type Cat eye Fitness a try. Once you've become accustomed to the machine, read the "Operation Guide" and experi- ment with the EC-C400R's wealth of functions.
3 Always unplug from the electrical outlet immedi- ately after using and before cleaning. Do not leave plugged in. Turn all controls to the off position before removing the plug from the outlet. Remove the plug without pulling the cord. Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being adminis- tered.

7 1 1 Follow the steps starting from the next page and assemble the unit as shown in the figure below. S TA R TING WITH ASSEMBL Y R EC-3700 4 2 1 3 5 6 7 Mount the front leg. •R emove the leg plate from the main unit. (This plate will not be used for assembly.
8 3 Mount the seat and handlebar. • Mount the seat to the seat pipe using the large screws and the handlebar using the small ones. Connect the Inner pipe. •F irst, connect the pulse sensor cables. Caution: If the connection is incomplete, the pulse rate will not be displayed.
9 Attach the pedals. • Use the No.15 end of the spanner to attach the pedals firmly to the cranks. • The right and left pedals are different, so be sure to check for R and L marks. •T ighten the right pedal by turning clockwise, and the left pedal by turning counterclockwise.
10 Level Adjustment • Turn the level adjuster on the rear leg so that the unit is placed sta- bly. • When the indication line on the level adjuster is at the top, the rear leg is at the same level as the caster of the front leg. 1 2 2 H OW TO ADJUST EACH PA RT Adjust the seat position.
11 Adjust the seat height. •T he seat height can be adjusted at your choice. • Loosen and remove the seat height lock knob, supporting the seat pipe with the other hand. • Move up or down the seat pipe to the desired height and screw-in the seat height lock knob.
12 C ONNECTING THE PULSE SENSOR This model detects and displays your pulse rate during exercise by the earlobe sensor from your earlobe. Being a sensitive elec - tronic part, the earlobe sensor must be handled with sufficient care. Important: When the chest-belt sensor is used, remove the earlobe sensor plug from the control unit.

16 5 5 T HE 6 KINDS OF PROGRAMS Fitness Test (physical fitness test) • Over a period of 10 minutes, you will encounter three different levels of pedal resis- tance.
17 Interval training (exercise + relief periods) • By switching back and forth between exercise and relief periods of varying length, interval training gives you the kind of program that professionals use to build their stamina and energy.
18 INTERV AL HILL CONSTANT WATT AGE HR CONTROL FITNESS TEST QUICK STOP MODE ST ART 6 6 U SING THE EC-C400R WITHOUT A DA T A CARD The red card you used for your first session serves to input the type and conditions of training. But it is also possible to do the same thing without the card, by using the buttons on the control unit.
19 3 Input training conditions. • The screen prompts you to set the training conditions. • The screen changes as shown here, and the initial value for age (40) is shown. • Your age can be increased or decreased as desired using the and buttons. The value changes rapidly if one or other button is pressed and held for longer than one second.
20 Finish your exercise. •A buzzer will sound when the exercise time previously set has elapsed. Reference: You can stop training at any time, even before the buzzer sounds. • The pedal resistance (torque) drops to the minimum of 0.5 kg·m, and the 5-minutes cool-down phase then starts.
21 Check your exercise record by scrolling the screen. • After training, you can view your workout data on the display. If the session has lasted for longer than 10 minutes, graphical infor- mation for the entire session can be viewed by scrolling the dis- play using the and buttons.

25 Maximum Heart Rate The heart rate increases according to the intensity of exercise, there is how- ever a limit. The maximum heart rate that a person can sustain is called the "maximum heart rate". Generally the heart rate declines as we get older, this differs however between individuals, and is largely due to how much one ex- ercises.

27 Interval training • In this program, select one of the 3 patterns depending on the power you want to improve. As for the exercise intensity, adjust the pedal resistance (torque: kg·m) during training, using and buttons. • This program is for people with a long history of exercise.
28 F ITNESS TEST 3 3 1 Select the Fitness test program. •A ttach the earlobe sensor, and press the FITNESS TEST training selection button to select the program.
29 • Pressing the MODE button changes the numeric value displayed. Thus, the pedal loading level (resistance), wattage, and consumed calories can be checked. Caution: • If the pedal cadence is not detected for five sec- onds, a fitness test measurement cannot be carried out.
30 F ITNESS TEST (2) 4 4 [American Females] [American Males] Physical Fitness Level (PFL) • There are five physical fitness levels: 1 ~ 5. These levels are relative evaluations that compare your max.
31 Test Protocol • In the “Fitness test” program of the EC-C400R Ergometer, the workload (pedal resistance: torque) for the subsequent stage is de- termined depending on your pulse rate at the previous stage.
32 Input the conditions. • Enter your age, target pulse, and desired exercise time, in that order. The initial display, prior to data input, is as shown in the table below: Initial value Setting ran.
33 Finish your exercise. • When the specified duration elapses or when the STOP button is pressed, a buzzer sounds and the 5-minute cool-down phase begins.
34 Input the conditions. • Enter the wattage, your age, and exercise time in that order. The initial display, prior to data input, is as shown in the table below: Initial value Setting range Wattage.
35 Finish your exercise. • When the specified duration elapses or when the STOP button is pressed, a buzzer sounds and the 5-minute cool-down phase begins. Automatic adjustment of the wattage stops, and the pedal resistance drops to the minimum of 0.
36 Input training conditions. • Enter your Exercise pattern, Age, and desired exercise time, in that order. The initial display, prior to data input, is as shown in the table below: Initial Value Se.

42 H OW TO MAKE A DA T A CARD 10 10 If you record your training conditions to this "Data Card", you can set the conditions merely by inserting the card into the card inlet of the control unit. You can start a program just by inserting the card and pressing the START button, saving all the button operation process.
43 Cautions on Handling the Data Card • Treat the card with care. Do not bend or allow the card to become wet. • Scratch only the necessary part of the silver ink. Otherwise the sensor will not read out the data. •W ipe the residue of the scratched silver ink off the card before inserting the card into the control unit.

47 Maintenance of the chest-belt heart rate sensor Replace the battery. Battery life: approx. 2 years (if used for 1 hour per day) * The battery life shown in this manual is not definitive and it var- ies depending on the use environment. Caution: • The chest-belt heart rate sensor continues to consume battery while being attached to your body.
