The product is equipped with a magnetic transmission for improved pedalling comfort with no lurching or jolts. The MAGNET5000 is guaranteed for 2 years, with 1 year for wear parts and labour. This guarantee applies to normal home use by an individual. G U A R A N T E E P R E S E N T A T I O N The exercise bike provides an excellent kind of cardio-training activity. Training on this equipment is designed to increase your cardio-vascular capacity. On this principle, you improve your physical condition, your endurance and you burn calories (an indispensable activity for weight loss in association with dieting). Finally, the exercise bike allows you to tone the muscles in the legs and buttocks. The muscles in the calves and the lower abdominals are also worked. P A R T S O F T H E B O D Y W O R K E D Prior to each use, check that the fastening components have been tightened and are not protruding; also check the state of the parts most subject to wear. Have any defective part immediately replaced by the After-Sales Service Department of your DECATHLON store and do not use the fitness bike until it has been repaired. Never store the MAGNET5000 in a humid environment (near a pool, in the bathroom, etc.). M A I N T E N A N C E Please note: it is necessary to get off the bike in order to make all adjustments (saddle, handlebars) - Saddle height is adjusted with a rapid system. Unscrew the thumbwheel, pull on the thumbwheel and slide the saddle stem up or down. Ensure that the thumbwheel engages at the desired level. Re-tighten the thumbwheel to avoid any play in the saddle. - To adjust the hardness of pedalling action, use the indexed thumbwheel located at the front of the handlebar. Adjustment of saddle depth: - To make this adjustment, you must first get off the fitness bike. - Slide the saddle until it is in the desired location. - Firmly tighten the thumbwheel to avoid any sliding or play. A D J U S T M E N T S • The device must be assembled by an adult. • Set up your fitness bike in a room that is sufficiently large for safe use. • Install the MAGNET5000 on a solid base with correct levelling to the floor. • Read the usage recommendations carefully before starting your training. • Never allow children to play near the bike during your training sessions. • Do not allow children to use the device. • This device is in accordance with the EN-957-1 and 2 class H standards pertaining to home use. • Maximum user weight: 110 kg. • Before starting any physical training activity, consult a doctor in order to ensure that there are no contra-indications. S A F E T Y T I P S U S A G E To use your fitness bike under the best conditions, adopt an anatomical position: the back straight with the arms at rest. Adjust the saddle height so that when you extend your leg, with the knee slightly bent, the middle of your foot just reaches the pedal when it is in the lowest position. When just starting out, begin by training over several days with a slight resistance and pedalling speed, without forcing, and taking rest breaks as needed. Then progressively increase the frequency or duration of your exercise sessions. WEIGHT MAINTENANCE/WARM-UP: Progressive effort starting at 10 minutes. For a workout designed either to keep you in shape or for re- education purposes, you may train every day for around ten minutes. This type of exercise is designed to stimulate your muscles and joints or may be used as a warm-up to additional physical activity. To increase the muscle tone of the legs, select a higher resistance and lengthen the exercise period. Of course, you may vary the pedalling resistance throughout your exercise session. AEROBIC FITNESS WORKOUT: Moderate effort for a fairly long period (35 min to 1 hour). If you wish to lose weight, this type of exercise, combined with a diet, is the only way to increase the quantity of energy consumed by the organism. Nevertheless, it is pointless to push yourself beyond your limits. It is the regularity of training that will allow you to obtain the best results. Select a fairly weak pedalling resistance and exercise at your own rhythm, but at least for a period of 30 minutes. This exercise should raise a slight sweat but should under no circumstances leave you breathless. It’s the duration of the exercise, at a slow rhythm, that will require your organism to draw its energy from your fat reserves provided that you pedal for more than thirty minutes, a minimum of three times a week. AEROBIC TRAINING FOR ENDURANCE: Sustained effort for 20 to 40 minutes. This type of training targets significant reinforcement of the cardiac muscle and improved respiratory activity. The resistance and/or speed of pedalling is increased so as to increase respiration during the exercise. The effort here is more sustained than for the maintenance workout. As your training progresses, you will be able to sustain the effort for longer periods, at a faster rate or with a higher degree of resistance. You may train a minimum of three times a week for this type of training. Training at a faster rate (anaerobic workout and workout in the red zone) is reserved for athletes and requires adequate preparation. After each training session, take several minutes to pedal with diminishing speed and resistance in order to cool down and progressively bring the body to a state of rest.

Warming up is a preparatory phase before any activity. It puts the person INTO OPTI- MUM CONDITIONS for carrying out his or her favorite sport. It is a METHOD OF PRE- VENTING ACCIDENTS TO TENDONS AND MUSCLES. There are two aspects : WAKING UP THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM, GENERAL WARMING UP. 1) The muscular system is prepared in a SPECIAL STRETCHING SESSION which PRE- PARES FOR EACH ACTIVITY : each group of muscles is used, joints are used. 2) Global warming up gradually brings the cardiovascular and respiratory system into action, improves irrigation of the muscles and prepares for making efforts. It must be sufficiently long : 10 min for a leisure sport activity, 20 min for a compe- tition sport activity. Note that warming up must be longer : after 55 years old, in the morning. Training TRAINING is the main phase of your physical activity. You can improve your physi- cal condition by REGULAR training. • Anaerobie exercice to develop endurance. • Aerobic exercice to develop cardio-pulmonary resistance. Slowing down This is the continuation of an activity at low intensity, the gradual “return to rest” phase. SLOWING DOWN brings the cardiovascular and respiratory system, the blood flow and muscles back to “normal” (eliminating the counter effects of an exer- cice, such as lactic acids, the accumulation of which is one of the major causes of muscular pains such as cramps and stiff muscles). Stretching STRETCHING must follow the slowing down phase while joints are still warm in order to reduce risks of injury. Stretching after an activity : minimizes MUSCULAR STIFF- NESS due to an accumulation of LACTIC ACIDS, “stimulates” BLOOD CIRCULATION. C A R D I O - T R A I N I N G P H A S E S O F A P H Y S I C A L A C T I V I T Y C O N T R O L L I N G Y O U R H E A R T B E AT It is vital to measure your pulse periodically in order to control your degree of exercising. If you do not have an electronic measuring device, follow this procedure : To take your pulse, position two fingers : on the neck, or below the ear, or at the inside wrist beside the thumb. Do not press too hard : excessive pressure reduces the blood flow and can slow down the heartbeat. After counting the pulsations for 30 seconds, multiply by 2 to obtain the number of pulsations per minute. Example : 75 pulsations counted in 30 seconds corresponds to a heart beat of 150 pulsations per minute. CARDIO-TRAINING EXERCICE A B C D • Exercise from 80 to 90% and beyond : Anaerobic zone and red zone reserved for high perfor- mance and specialised athletes. • Exercise of 70% to 80% of the maximum cardiac rate : Endurance exercise. • Exercise from 60 to 70% of the maximum cardiac rate : Getting fit / favourable consumption of fat. • Exercise from 50 to 60% of the maximum cardiac rate : Maintenance /Warm up. 200 195 185 190 180 175 170 165 160 155 20 60% 70% 80% 100% 60% 50% 70% 80% 100% 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 160 156 148 152 144 140 136 132 128 124 140 136 129 133 126 122 119 115 112 108 120 117 111 114 108 105 102 99 96 93 100 97 92 95 90 87 85 82 80 77 50% WARNING, TECHNICAL INSET WARNING TO USERS You must work towards getting fit in a controlled manner. Do no hesitate to consult a doctor before any physical activity, especially if : you have not practiced any sports activities in recent years, you are more than 35 years old, you are not sure about your health, you are following medical treatment. CONSULT A DOCTOR BEFORE PRACTISING ANY SPORT. Beats per minute Exercice range Age Cardio-training exercice is a form of aerobics (conditioning the body in the presence of oxygen) and allows you to improve your cardio-vascular capacity. To be more precise, you will improve the tonicity of the heart and your blood vessels. Cardio-training exercice carries the oxygen breathed in from the air to your muscles. It is the heart that pumps this oxygen through the body and, in particular, to the muscles being exercised. E N G L I S H

of data to be programmed follows this chronology: Exercise duration, distance to be covered, calories to be burned and desired heart rate. The data to be programmed will blink when you press on the MODE key. To avoid having to reset your data, do not press the MODE key. Hold the key down for 2 seconds to return values to zero. UP Key: Allows you to increase the value of the function selected: Time - Distance covered - Calories burned - Heart rate. DOWN Key: Allows you to reduce the value of the function selected: Time - Distance covered - Calories burned - Heart rate. K E Y F U N C T I O N S U S A G E PROGRAMMING THE DEVICE: Exercise duration: Stopwatch function: the counter displays the exercise duration from 0 to 99 minutes 59 seconds. Countdown function: sets the desired exercise duration from 1 to 99 minutes, with an alarm that sounds when the time has expired. How to preset the time: Press on the MODE key until the word “TIME” appears and blinks. Press on the UP key to increase the exercise time. Press on the DOWN key to reduce it. Stop pressing when you have reached the desired duration. Wait 5 seconds without pressing any keys. The recently programmed data will then be saved. Just start your exercise to start the time running. An alarm will alert you 12 seconds before the end of the exercise. Press any key to turn it off. Speed: Your instantaneous speed is displayed throughout the exercise. Calories burned: The counter displays the number of calories burned during the duration of the exercise from 0.0 to 999 kilo calories (Kcal). You may also program the number of calories you wish to burn from 1 to 999 Kcal (use the same procedure as for the time). An alarm will sound once you have reached the value set. Follow the same procedure for cutting the alarm. Please note: the calculation of calories burned is an estimation and should not be interpreted as medical data. Distance covered: The counter displays the distance covered from the start of the exercise, from 0.1 to 999.9 km. You may also set the distance you wish to cover from 0.1 to 999.9 km. An alarm will sound once the value has been reached. Follow the same procedure as for setting the time. Heart Rate: When your palms are positioned over the sensors, the counter displays your heart rate (pulse) in number of beats per minute (BPM) on the LCD screen, as indicated in the diagram below. Determination of maximum heart rate: Select the maximum value to be reached between 90 and 240 beats per minute. Follow the same procedure for setting the time. The system will determine your instantaneous heart rate and if you reach your maximum value, the display will start to blink until your pulse returns to below this value. Please note: no alarm will sound. Comment: If you do not select a value for your heart rate, the default value of 90 beats per minute will be utilised. In this case, the display will start to blink when you exceed the threshold of 90 beats per minute. Note: If no information on your heart rate is detected for a period of 16 seconds, the display will indicate the letter " P ". Press on any key to restart the heart rate function.

Please note: The measurement always starts from 90 PBM and requires a stabilisation time (around 30 seconds). During the exercise, the time to calculate the beats per minute requires an interval of roughly 20 seconds between the actual and displayed heart rates. The information communicated by your counter is only a guide line and does not have scientific value. The data displayed may vary depending on the position of the palms and the pressure placed on the product. If your hands do not have good contact with the sensors, the measurement will be affected. This device is not intended to be used to make a medical diagnosis nor for purposes of prevention of cardiac problems. Consult a doctor before undertaking any training program, especially if you have experienced an extended period of inactivity, if you have cardiac problems, if you smoke or if you suffer from hypertension and / or excess weight. If you use a pacemaker or cardiac stimulator, please do not use a heart monitor without first consulting your doctor. R E P L A C I N G T H E B A T T E R Y Make sure that you install 2 LR6 (AA) 1.5-Volt batteries in the proper place at the back of the counter. Make sure that the batteries are correctly positioned and that you have respected the polarities. Nonetheless, should the display not appear or appear only partially, remove the batteries, wait 15 seconds and put them back. The display values are systematically reset to zero when the batteries are removed. If you do not intend to use the counter for an extended period, remove the batteries in order to avoid oxidation of the contacts, which could adversely effect the functioning of your apparatus. To protect the environment, collect used batteries and dispose of them properly. + + - -
