To use the weight scale:
■Stand on the weight scale within 10 seconds of being prompted during program setup.

If the weight scale is not available for use, the Information Window displays an advisory message during program setup. You will need to manually enter your correct weight.
HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your treadmill workout is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring heart rate is easy with the STAR TRAC PRO / PRO ELITE TREADMILL, which provides both a heart rate strap and heart rate grips that allow you to your heart automatically. Your goal will be to keep your exercise heart rate at 60 to 90 percent of the theoretical maximum for your age as listed on the Target Heart Rate table and graph in chapter 6.
NOTE: The Heart Rate monitor is not a medical test, nor is it designed as a medical test. It is simply a guide to target heart rate training. Please consult with your physician prior to engaging in any strenuous physical activity.
IMPORTANT: The manufacturer does not warrant the heart rate system performance on this product, as the heart rate system performance varies, based on a user’s physiology, fitness level, age, method of use and other factors. Furthermore, the heart rate system is not for medical use.
CONTACT HEART RATE MONITORING
You may use the heart rate contact grips to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps:
1.Grasp the stainless steel heart rate contact grips; you do not have to squeeze tightly.
2.When a heart rate has been detected, the 
indicator illuminates, indicating a calculation is taking place. The Information Window displays “HR DETECTED”.
3.When your heart rate has been acquired, the 
indicator will begin pulsating, and your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) will be displayed in the Heart Rate Window continuously.
4.Release the Heart Rate grips if you wish to remove your heart rate from the display.
NOTE: Contact heart rate may not give accurate BPM when exercising over 4.0 mph.
CHEST STRAP HEART RATE MONITORING
You may use the heart rate strap to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps:
1.Before beginning your workout, or during a pause, moisten the back of the transmitter on the heart rate strap (not included). Place the strap snugly around your chest with the transmitter resting directly over your sternum.
2.When a heart rate has been detected, the 
indicator illuminates, indicating a calculation is taking place. The Information Window displays “HR DETECTED”.
3.When your heart rate has been acquired, the 
indicator will begin pulsating, and your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) will be displayed in the Heart Rate Window continuously.
4.Remove the heart rate strap, if you wish to remove your heart rate from the display.
NOTE: The performance of the transmitter may be affected by body types, body oils, metal in clothing, and outside electrical inter- ference. Always be sure that the transmitter and skin are in good contact. Avoid operating other electrical equipment near your treadmill when you use the heart rate strap.
