Target HR

Achieved

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.

Important Use and Safety Information

Read the following before using the heart rate or SmartRate features.

Consult your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise. Do not use the heart rate programs until authorized by your physician.

Know your heart rate and your physician-recommended heart rate target zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several physiological factors and may not correspond directly with Diagram 5.

The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is: (220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent.

For example:

Warm up range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 55%

High range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 85% Refer to Table 1 in Using SmartRate.
