Function
Commence stepping action. All default values (with the exception
of the pulse-rate limit value) will count backwards, will flash for a
few seconds when they reach zero and will then continue to count
as of the default value upwards. If your pulse beat exceeds the
pulse-rate limit per default, the Pulse-value will flash by way of
warning, and you will hear a bleep.
5.0 Display in training
When you have commenced training, automatic display-change
SCAN (symbol 2 in the display) will take place at intervals of 5 se-
conds. You can de-activate it by pressing the Set-key. Using the
+/– key, you can transfer forward or back to the next or previous
display area. If you have activated the step-frequency default-set-
ting note (12) in the display, a bleep will sound which will coin-
cide with the step-frequency per default-setting. This is intended to
help you keep time.
By pressing the +/– keys together, you will de-activate the acou-
stic step-frequency, and the note (12) is no longer displayed. This
is also possible when training is interrupted.
Additional remark
When a default-setting is reached (excluding pulse-rate limit and
step-frequency), it will appear at once in the large display (9).
6.0 Display before training, upon interrupti-
on/completion of training
If you discontinue the stepping action, the system's electronics
identify an interruption of training. Automatic display-change is
de-activated. The symbol SCAN disappears, P is displayed, and
the pulse rate is shown in the large display, where it remains. If
you do not resume training within 4 minutes, the display switches
to Room temperature (Figure 1). The distance covered is then ad-
ded up to produce the overall height. All other values are not sa-
ved.
Additional remark
Using the +/– key, you can transfer forward or back to the next
or previous display area.
The Set-key returns you to input mode, in the process of which all
previous training data and default-settings are deleted.
7.0 Display upon resuming training
Proceed with training. The values resume counting.
8.0 Recovery pulse rate measurement
The training computer is equipped with a recovery pulse rate fun-
ction. This enables you to measure your recovery pulse rate once
you have completed training. Press the recovery pulse rate key
once you have completed training. The computer will measure
your pulse rate over a period of 60 seconds, counting in reverse
order (Figure 12). After that, a fitness score is displayed accom-
panied by an F (Figure 13). The calculation procedure is explai-
ned under 9.0 General information. If the pulse-rate measurement
procedure is interrupted, P together with E for Error message are
displayed instead of a value (Figure 14). If you press the Reco-
very-key, the display of current training data reappears.

Additional remark
If no pulse value is displayed, the recovery-pulse function is not
carried out.

9.0 General information

Calculation of overall height
1 step action equates to a height of 0.19 metres.
Calculation of kilojoules
According to information available to us from the field of Sports
Medicine, energy is consumed as follows during step-action trai-
ning: 1 hour of step-action training uses up 2,500 kj based on a
step-frequency of 90 steps per minute. 1,000 steps equate to 465
kilojoule.
This calculation is based on medium load and changes only whe-
re the step-frequency is varied.
Calculation of fitness score
The computer calculates and evaluates the difference between the
load pulse and the recovery pulse and arrives at its "fitness sco-
re" by applying the following formula:
10 x ( P1 – P2 )
(
Note ( F ) = 6 –
P1
P1 = Load pulse
Score of 1 = very good
Physical fitness can be monitored easily and quickly by compa-
ring the load pulse with the recovery pulse. The fitness score is an
orientation value, which reflects your ability to recover following
physical strain. Before pressing the recovery pulse rate key to
work out your fitness score, you should continue exercising within
your exertion range over an extended period, i.e. at least 10 mi-
nutes. If you engage in regular exercise of the cardiovascular sy-
stem, you will discover that your "fitness score" will improve with
time.
Information on measuring pulse rate
Calculation of the pulse rate commences when the heart in the dis-
play flashes in time with your pulse beat.
