Heart rate and SmartRate® features are available when you grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips or wear a chest strap on the 9.27 treadmill. When a heartbeat is detected, the heart icon continues to blink while a heart rate is discernible. If no heart rate is detected, the outline around the heart icon remains lit and does not blink. During a workout, a number representing your heart rate is displayed.
