Troubleshooting
MALFUNCTION
The remote control does not work.
The device shows no functions.
The device independently performs
functions that were not selected (ex-
ception: automatic programmes)
Signal interference
ATTENTION!
Electromagnetic blocks may cause signal interference. These can occur around high-voltage
power lines, traffic light signals, overhead wiring for electric railways, buses or trams, televisions,
car engines, bicycle computers, some motorised exercise equipment, mobiles, or when passing
electric safety gates. This will repeatedly result in inaccurate heart rate measurements.
Should any malfunctions not be remedied by the above-mentioned solutions or should other problems arise,
please contact your Casada partner to receive professional and individual advice and solutions for the prob-
lem at hand. Your Casada partner will be glad to help you solve any malfunctions fast and professionally.

SOLUTION
• Check that the batteries are inserted correctly.
• Change the batteries
• Check the connection of the electricity cable to the power
outlet and the connection at the device
• Attempt to activate the device using the remote control
and the power switch on the device
• Switch the device off, disconnect from the mains, and
wait for 20 seconds. Reconnect the device and switch the
device back on. (Restart for malfunction)
• There are too many sources of interference nearby, for
your PowerBoard and pulse sensor, to work properly.
Change your position and rescan for a signal.
Calorie counter
The calorie counter of PowerBoard 2.1 is a new function to ensure even more effectiveness.
The calories displayed/consumed represent an average standard value that can be reached by consistent training.
When finding one's position on the PowerBoard 2.1 without movement you consume much fewer calories than
during an average training session with mediocre effort.
The calorie counter calculates the data on the basis of benchmarks which consist of several sporting activities.
Average values, from a light walk to quick jogging, or a normal work-out exercise with or without weights, are
calculated. The method for calculating calories is based on the overall result of the calorie consumption of these
types of sports with an average recorded weight of 85kg.
Using this particular method, calorie consumption can be considered to be rather realistic. It is calculated by
the second, so that if there are changes in speed the calorie count is recalculated in order to show an exact
consumption.
Body-Mass-Index
The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement for assessing a person's weight (body mass). Since excess
weight is a globally growing problem the body mass index is primarily used to indicate associated risks.
The BMI correlates body mass to the body surface, which is calculated approximately using the square of the
body height. The BMI therefore only represents a rough reference point, as it does not consider physique and
sex or the individual composition of a person's body mass of fat- and muscle tissue.
