Description of the control panel
You can read the numerical values of the current exercise on the numerical displays:
- power, expressed in Watts. The power displayed is the power produced by the user, within the tolerances specied in the equipment identity label.
- heart rate, expressed in number of beats per minute.
- speed, expressed in spm (strides per minute) or rpm (revolutions per minute), depending on the type of the equipment.

The goal arc and dial
The arc of LEDs lights up from left to right in time with the workout, until the set goal is reached.
The LED corresponding to the current time/distance/calories portion blinks.
The type of goal selected is lit up in the arc during the exercise. In the dial, the display of the
numerical value for the selected goal, which proceeds incrementally, alternates with that of all
the messages.
The keys are for increasing or decreasing the selected goal value during the exercise. Depending
on the type of goal, the value increases or decreases in steps of 1 minute, 0.1 km or 10 calories
each time the key is pressed.

Quick start
In standby, either start moving or press the key START.
This kind of exercise is on a time increment basis; the age and weight values are predened, i.e. 30 years and 70 kilograms. It starts at eort level 1.
This exercise is performed at a constant torque and braking is independent of speed.
The time is shown in the goal dial and arc as it increases; the LED for the current minute blinks in the arc.
The keys for changing the eort level and the keys STOP and PAUSE are enabled.

The workloads can be modied using the corresponding keys in the same way as during the exercise.
Everything switches o in the goal arc; the exercise results are displayed in the goal dial:

Constant heart rate (CPR) exercise
The constant heart rate exercise is very important in situations where specic heart rate levels have to be maintained. In the constant heart rate exercise the
exercise workload is automatically adjusted to take the heart rate to the preselected level and keep it constant throughout the entire exercise duration.
This type of exercise is at constant power and braking depends on the speed.
The heart rate monitor is needed for the constant heart rate exercise. If there is no heart rate signal the exercise does not start.

Type in the heart rate you want to maintain constantly throughout the workout with the number keys, then press ENTER to conrm and proceed. The exercise
starts.
During the exercise the goal arc lights up proportionally from left to right until the entire set goal value has expired; the goal’s numerical value is shown in the
goal dial as it increases and alternates with the display of the information on the unselected goal: i.e. how long ago the exercise started, how many calories have

If, during the exercise, there is no heart rate signal for 100 consecutive seconds, the CPR exercise becomes a goal driven exercise, keeping the same goal (i.e.
Hi Technogym I am trying to use the cross-trainer (elliptical) Technogym Synchro Forma at the Moseralm spa hotel. When it is switched on, the Function key LED’s flash (3 red and 3 green), but none of the Keyes seem to be enabled. If I start using the machine, it records the time, but the Manual Control keys are not enabled so I can not increase the Effort level. How do I enable the different keys? Dr Adam McLean
