Monitor Instructions

Console Guide

Main Operation Guide:

• When the machine is off, the central control knob screen is blank. (Illustration 2)
• When the knob is turned on, a beep sounds, the display lights up, and it is ready. (Illustration 1) After power-on, the resistance automatically resets to Level "1". If there is no operation or movement for 3 minutes, the display turns off, and the machine enters standby mode. (Illustration 2)
• A short press of the knob or pulling the handlebar enters sports mode. The number in the window shows the resistance "LEVEL". (Illustration 3)

During Rowing: The main screen display cycles through the following functions every 3 seconds: Speed, Duration, Distance, Calories, Strokes, and 500m Split Time. The window alternately shows the stroke rate and resistance level. (Illustrations 4/5/6/7)

To lock the mode: Briefly press the knob screen during normal use to switch between required functions. (Illustrations 8/9/10/11)

Adjusting Resistance: During exercise, the resistance level can be adjusted by turning the central control knob. Clockwise rotation increases the level (Level 16 is maximum). Counter-clockwise rotation decreases the level (Level 1 is minimum). (Illustration 12)

Precautions:

• Use the power supply correctly. Unplug the machine when not in use.
• If the machine is used by minors, a guardian must be present to prevent misuse that could damage the machine or cause personal injury.

2. Seated Hamstring Stretch: Sit with one leg straight. Position the other leg so its sole rests against the inner thigh of the straight leg. Try to reach your toes with your hand. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. (See Illustration 2)
3. Achilles Tendon Stretch: Stand with both hands against a wall or tree, placing one foot behind the other. Keep your back leg straight and heel on the ground, and lean forward. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. (See Illustration 3)
4. Quadriceps Stretch: With your right hand, reach back and grasp your right foot, slowly pulling it towards your hip until you feel a stretch in the front of your thigh. Hold the stretch for 10-15 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. (See Illustration 4)
5. Sartorius Stretch (Inner Thigh Muscle): Sit with the soles of your feet together and knees bent outwards. Grasp your feet with both hands and pull them towards your groin. Hold for 10-15 seconds, then relax. Repeat 3 times. (See Illustration 5)
