EXERCISE INSTRUCTION

A good exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool down. Do the entire program at least two to three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months you can increase your workouts to four or five times per week.
AEROBIC EXERCISE is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs. Aerobic exercise improves the fitness of your lungs and heart. Aerobic fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscles e.g. legs, arms and buttocks. Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise routine.
The WARM-UP is an important part of any workout. It should begin every session to prepare your body for more strenuous exercise by heating up and stretching your muscles, increasing your circulation and pulse rate, and delivering more oxygen to your muscles.

Each heart rate signal is accompanied by a”” symbol flash. If the Heart Rate Transmitter is incorrectly worn around your chest, a” P”mark will be displayed.

D. PROGRAM PROFILE:
The computer contains 12 different programs. You can preset the program time so that the computer will divide the time into 10 intervals. If the program time is not preset, the computer will count up 1 minute for each interval of Program 1 (Manual Program), for Programs 2-12 the computer will use a preset value of 30 minutes, programs will run in cycle

Manual Program 1: Program 1 is a manual program; in this program the user has full manual control of the workload. Increase the load using” “button, decrease the load using *”button.

PROGRAM 1 (MANUAL):

Preset Programs 2-7 : Programs 2 through 7 are automatic programs, however the user may still increase or decrease the tension level of these programs using the “/” buttons. Preset program profiles are displayed on the face of the computer. Under these Preset Programs users may still set a value for TIME, COUNT, CALORIE and DISTANCE. To set a value, refer to the FUNCTIONS section of the computer instructions.

PROGRAM 2 (ROLLING):

PROGRAM 3 (VALLEY):

PROGRAM 4 (FAT BURN):

PROGRAM 5 (RAMP):

PROGRAM 6 (MOUNTAIN):

PROGRAM 7 (INTERVALS):

PROGRAM 8 (TRAGER H.R.):

Target Heart Rate Program 8 : This program requires the user to wear a Heart Rate Transmitter around their chest. This program is controlled by heart rate. When the user selects Program 8 the PULSE window located on the monitor will display a flashing 90 (the initial setting value), at this time the user may input their desired Target H.R. from 90-220BPM. In this program the computer will automatically adjust the tension level during exercise according to the users’ heart rate, detected by the heart rate transmitter, in order to keep the users heart rate within the zone of plus & minus 5 BPM of their set Target H.R

User Setting Programs 9-12 : (U1-U4) Programs 9 through 12 are pro- grams that allow the user(s) to manually preset each of the 10 intervals in order to create personal exercise profile(s). To create a profile scroll through the User Settings Program until “Column” flashes on the Monitor, press the”/” buttons to create your exercise program, press the ENTER button to confirm the first Column of your exercise profile. Repeat this process to create additional Columns.

PROGRAM 9 (USER SETTING):

Or pass some of the inputs, by pressing the ENTER button. The values will be stored in the memory after setup. Users may also manually increase or decrease the functions value in each interval by pressing the”/”buttons, the value stored in the memory will not be changed or affected by doing this.

NOTE :

1. Your personal exercise profile will be stored in the memory of the monitor.

2. When you reach one of the targets such as TIME, COUNT, DISTANCE or CALORIES,
   the monitor will produce a beep sound and then stop.

3. If you set more than one target and would like to continue, press START to begin the exercise again.

4. The maximum number of users able to create a personal exercise profile is 4.

TRAVEL DISTANCE INDICATOR
Indicates the distance traveled on the rower during during exercise

E. PULSE RECOVERY FUNCTION:
NOTE: To use this program, you must wear the Heart Rate Transmitter. The Pulse Recovery function is used upon completion of an exercise, the function measures the amount of time it takes for the users’ heart rate to return to a resting heart rate, the quicker the users heart rate returns to a resting heart rate the better. The computer monitors your heart rate for 60 seconds and then calculates a Pulse Recovery value from
F1-F6

F1.0 = Excellent
F4.0 = Below Average
F2.0 = Good
F5.0 – Not Good
F3.0 = Fair
F6.0 = Poor

The readings mentioned are to be used as points of reference, this information is NOT to be used for any medical reference or purposes.

When starting the Pulse Recovery function, a”” symbol will be displayed, after 5 se- conds your heart rate will then be displayed. Once your heart displays on the monitor, press the Pulse Recovery button, during the Pulse Recovery function, only the PULSE and TIME are active. The TIME will begin count down from 0:60 seconds, during this time the”” symbol will blink, when the TIME reaches 0:00 the computer will sound an audible alarm for ten seconds and then display your Pulse Recovery reading from F1.0 to F6.0. (During Pulse Recovery, press any button to stop audible alarm. Press any button to exit Pulse Recovery function).

NOTE :

1. Press the Pulse Recovery button at any time to run the pulse recovery function, the pulse recovery function can be ran during an exercise and while running another program.
2. Once the pulse recovery function is initiated the TIME will begin count down from 0:60 seconds down to 0:00, during these (60) seconds you will not be able to quit the pulse recovery function. An “E” message will display in the pulse recovery value window of the monitor when there is no heart rate signal detected or available.

“E” displayed in Pulse Recovery Value window if a proper heart rate signal is unavailable.

Highest detected Heart Rate within the first 20 sec.

Current Heart Rate

F. HEART RATE MONITORING:
To achieve the maximum results from your workout on this 817 Rowing Machine it is imperative that you exercise within your target heart rate zone for a minimum of 20 minutes. Studies have shown that exercising below your target heart rate zone will not allow you to burn fat or improve cardiovascular fitness, working above your target heart rate zone is counter-productive as well.

Everyone has their own specific target heart rate zone, when exercising your main goals should be reaching that zone and staying within that zone. Determining your personal tar- get heart rate zone is calculated by the following:

STEP 1: Find your maximum heart rate using this formula: 220 – Your Age = predicted max heart rate.
Example: A person 40 years of age would have a predicted max heart rate of 180 BPM (Beats Per Minute), 220-40-180.
STEP 2 : Your target heart rate zone is a range of 55% to 90% of your max heart rate. Predicted Max Heart Rate x .55 = Low End of your target heart rate zone. Predicted Max Heart Rate x.90 = High End of your target heart rate zone. Example: A person 40 years of age would have a Target Heart Rate Zone of 99 to 162 BPM (Beats Per Minute); 180 x .55 = 99.

For additional conditioning guidelines and to set up the target heart rate for programs, the chart to the right provides a reference to Target Heart Rate zones estimated by age.

LCD W/PROGRAM MONITOR TROUBLE SHOOTING

1. Review the Assembly Instructions and check that all the computer plugs and sockets are firmly and correctly connected.
2. Review the machine’s Magnetic Resistance System to ensure that it is set correctly at it can freely be adjusted. A symptom of the previous problem is the Motor will struggle to adjust the resistance and begin making an abnormal sound. If this happens the Motor may already be damaged by some kind of interference. After freeing the interference the Motor will have to be checked that it still correctly.
3. Motor Problems:
   a . Symptoms include an unusually loud noise coming from the Motor, which means the Gears are NOT meshing correctly. Try reversing the resistance and try again.
   b If this fails then Replace the Motor. brief the Motor fails to move at all then please recheck as per Solution above’s .
   cIf this fails then Replace the Motor.

E2| The Computer cannot interface with the IC Chip .| Disconnect the Adaptor and/or remove the Batteries. Re- connect the Adaptor and /or the Batteries. This will REBOOT the IC Chip and may help the Computer interface with the IC Chip. Remove and reinsert the IC Chip If reinsertion fails then replace the IC Chip with a NEW IC Chip
E5| The meter does not count up for any of the functions|

1. Review the Assembly Instructions and check that all the computer plugs and sockets are firmly and correctly connected.
