If no user is detected after an additional 30 seconds, the console displays the message NO USER DETECTED, STOPPING IN 10 SECONDS as notification of the pending stop. During the display of this message, a ten second countdown begins. If a user does not override the countdown, the belt comes to a gradual stop after the countdown is complete.

Note: Users weighing more than 90 pounds (41 kg) are detected within the speed and position limits of the feature. Users weighing 50 pounds (22.7 kg) to 89 pounds (40.5 kg) may not be detected depending on their speed and location. Always be aware of and follow the console’s instructions for proper operation.

Using SmartRate®

The Precor SmartRate® technology is a precise, easy-to-read heart rate monitor that helps users achieve their best personalized workouts. SmartRate displays actual heart rate information in relation to the user’s target zone for weight loss and cardiovascular training. This feature is visible during all workouts. In addition, some equipment includes a Heart Rate Control (HRC) workout that automatically adjusts intensity to keep a user’s heart rate in its target zone. For more information, refer to Programs.

CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, see your physician for a thorough physical examination. Seek advice from your physician to learn the target heart rate appropriate for your fitness level.

To test your heart rate:

1.Begin a workout by pressing QUICK START, or by selecting a preset workout followed by pressing GO.

2.Grasp the handheld heart rate sensors with both hands. Depending on the type of equipment, the letters "Hr" appear, or a blinking heart displays while the equipment reads your heart rate. After a few moments, your heart rate displays in beats per minute. The blinking segments in the SmartRate field indicate the current zone of your heart rate: Warm Up, Fat Burn, Cardio, or High.
