HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your work- out is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring your heart rate is easy with the STAR TRAC
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.
NOTE: If both the heart rate grips and a heart rate strap are being used, the heart rate grips will override and be dis- played in the HR window.
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.
To calculate your training zone, use the following formulas: (theoretical max HR = 220 - Age)
Heart Rate Training Range Upper Level |

_____________________x | 0.90 | = |

Your Theoretical Max | Training Range Upper Limit |

Heart Rate Training Range Lower Level |

NOTE: Calculating your theoretical maximum heart rate using age is an approximation. For more information, please contact a fitness professional or doctor.
