HEART RATE COURSE
Once you set your target heart rate and the running belt’s speed, the Heart Rate Course monitors your heart rate and automatically maintains it within a few beats per minute (bpm) of the selected target. Blinking lights on the SmartRate® bar graph appear to show the “zone” that you are in.
Note: For the C932 to detect a heart rate, you must purchase the heart rate option and wear the POLAR® chest strap during a workout.
The chest strap transmits your heart rate signal to the receiver that is installed in the display console.
