The red card you used on your first ride contains data used in
selecting different types of training. Even without this card, you
can use buttons on the control unit to run through the same
operations.

4. Start training
• When you have finished setting
training conditions, push the AD
button and start pedaling. The
screen display will change as shown
below, as time goes on.
• The automatic training, isopower
training and manual training pro-
grams 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 others).
While the warm-up function is oper-
ating, a WA symbol will remain
on the screen.
• By pushing the MO button, you
can switch the display from elapsed
time (TM min:sec) to calorie con-
sumption (EC Kcal).
5. At the end of training
• A buzzer will sound when the train-
ing time you have set is finished. If
you wish, you can continue training
even after this buzzer sounds.
• Whenever you want to stop train-
ing, before or after the buzzer
sounds, push the AD button once.
• The coo symbol appears on the
screen and the pedal resistance
drops to the minimum of 0.5 kg·m.
This is the cooling down function,
which lasts for a maximum of 5 min-
utes.
• At this stage review your workout
data such as time and calorie con-
sumption.
• Press AD button once again and
the program comes to the ultimate
end and the display turns to the ini-
tial state. (If you stay in the cool
down phase for the full five minutes,
the program ends automatically
with no need to press the AD but-
ton.)
• You should now understand how to
use the Model EC-1200 Cateye Er-
gociser
TM
. Once you get used to the
exerciser, you will probably want to
refer to the Operation section for
more detailed information on func-
tions, etc.
REMARK: Conditions will
change according to the training
program.
Upper limit pulse rate is auto-
matically determined by your
age, so there is no need to set
this number yourself.
• Let's try changing the displayed tar-
get pulse rate from 120 to 115.
• Press the MO 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"?
• A card is a tool for setting program
choice and training conditions. A
card saves you the trouble of setting
the same training conditions every
time you use the exerciser. For in-
structions on how to make a card,
please refer to page 36, "How to
make a data card" in the Operation
section.
