Precor M9.33 manual Using SmartRate

Using SmartRate

The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your heart rate in the target zone best suited to your specific needs. All 15 LEDs may light during a workout. When you wear the chest strap, a single LED blinks and indicates the zone that your heart rate is in, either weight loss or cardiovascular.

The 15 LEDs in the SmartRate display are color-coded. A pulsating red LED indicates you are outside the recommended heart rate target zone. Yellow LEDs indicate when you are exercising within the weight loss zone. Green LEDs indicate when you are exercising within the cardiovascular zone.

Refer to Table 1 to see the relationship between the pulsating LED and your target heart rate.

The SmartRate indicator lights do not appear when:

•You press QUICKSTARTTM at the banner

•You bypass the AGE prompt

•You do not wear or improperly position the chest strap

•You fail to grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips for five to ten seconds

Note: Review the information on the QUICKSTART card that accompanies your literature packet. It explains how to adjust the chest strap.

CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. If it does, immediately reduce your speed or, if possible, adjust the incline to return your heart rate to your physician-recommended target zone.
