Q. Is there any danger to the unit if I charge the
Computer for more than 4 hours, or if I leave the
charger plugged in indefinitely?
A. No, charging the unit beyond 4 hours or leaving
the charger in the Computer indefinitely, will not
harm the Computer or the batteries.
Q. Can I use exercise power to charge empty
batteries?
A. Yes you can, but it is not recommended.
Although the unit's generator also provides
power to the batteries and helps to keep them
charged if they have been initially charged full
by the Battery Charger, the rate at which the
generator charges the batteries is slow. Therefore,
it will take at least 7 to 8 hours of strenuous exer-
cise to fully charge empty batteries.
Q. When the batteries are full, do I have to
maintain a minimum exercise speed (Strides
per minute or RPMs) in order for the Computer
to function properly?
A. No. The only speed you must maintain is a speed
that is sufficient to cause the Computer displays
to light up.
Q. When the Computer is already set to one of
the 8 programs and exercise is under way, can I
push ENTER or QUICK START and jump to another
program?
A. No. Once the Computer is set to one of the 8
programs, you must press RESET to first clear the
Computer, before it will accept a new program.
Q. When I enter Program 8 (P8) and conduct
the Fitness Test, I note that my score is not
anywhere within the reference table. What
does this mean?
A. This usually means that the Computer did not
pick up a strong or steady signal from either the
Pulse Sensors or the Wireless Chest Strap. Once
the test is complete, if the average heart rate
that is displayed in the Heart Rate Window is
noticeably lower than your known average,
follow the steps mentioned under the WIRELESS
CHEST STRAP section on page 12.
Q. After I enter data into the Computer and
begin exercise, I note that sometimes there is
a delay in the Heart Rate or Calories readout.
Why is this?
A. This is normal. Some readout such as Heart
Rate and Calories are averages which require
a minimum amount of baseline data.Therefore,
immediately after new program start up, it
takes the Computer a few seconds to collect
a sufficient amount of baseline data, before the
Computer can display the value.
