This is the cooling down function,
which lasts for a maximum of 5
minutes.

• You should now understand how to

use the Model EC-3600 Cateye

. Once you get used to

the exerciser, you will probably
want to refer to the

Operation

s e c t i o n f o r m o r e d e t a i l e d
information on functions, etc.

Start training

• When you have finished setting

t r a i n i n g c o n d i t i o n s , p u s h
the

button and start

pedaling. The screen display will
change as shown below, as time
goes on.

• The automatic training, isopower

training and manual training
programs all have a warm-up
function. Pedal resistance increases
slowly until you reach your target
pulse rate (Automatic training) or
for the first three minutes (all
o t h e r s ) . W h i l e t h e w a r m - u p
function is operating, a

WARM

symbol will remain on the screen.

• B y p r e s s i n g t h e

b u t t o n

during the exercise, you can switch
the display from elapsed time (TM
min:sec) to calorie consumption
(EC Kcal) alternately.

Remark 1: Conditions to be

inputted vary program by
program.

Remark 2: Upper limit pulse rate

is automatically determined
from your age, so there is no
need to revise this number
yourself, unless you have a
particular purpose.

• Let's try changing the displayed

target pulse rate from 120 to 115.

• Press the

button until "120"

is flashing. You want to reduce the
number by five, so press the

–

button five times. Has the number
changed to "115"?

• The card is a tool for program

c h o i c e a n d s e t t i n g t r a i n i n g
conditions. It saves you the trouble
o f s e t t i n g t h e s a m e t r a i n i n g
conditions each time you use the
exerciser. For instructions on how
to make a card, please refer to page
