Smart Rate® : You must enter your “Age” (during the course Setup prompts), and wear a POLAR® chest strap, while in a course program, before the blinking seg- ment in the bar graph can show the zone that your heart rate is in, either: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.

Weight Loss Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate, helps burn enough calories that, when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides the greatest fat-burning results.

Cardiovascular Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate, helps you (when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more) improve your overall cardiovascular/cardiores- piratory fitness level.

Important: During a course, your heart rate must be above 40 beats per minute before the segment begins to blink. If your club has the heart rate touch-sensitive electrodes on the handrail, you don’t need to wear a POLAR® chest strap. However, you will need to grasp the electrode strips. Note that pressing Quick Start disables the Smart Rate® display feature.

HEART RATE: The heart rate display lets you monitor your heart rate. When a heart beat is detected, the number appears in the small upper right display (refer to Diagram 18). If you did not purchase the Precor Heart Rate Touch option or are not wearing a POLAR® chest strap, your heart rate will not be detected and no pulse rate appears.

UPPER DISPLAY (C956 only)

The Precor banner and course profiles appear in the large center display (LED matrix). Always start a workout at the Precor banner. During workouts, the course profile appears in the center display and corresponds to the program you selected. As you proceed through your workout, your position is indicated by a blinking cell.

CENTER DISPLAY (C956 and C954)

Prompts appear in this display prior to your workout. You address each prompt using the numeric or keypad keys. Once you begin a workout, lights appear in the columns below the window indicating which information is being displayed. You can highlight a particular feature by pressing the appropriate Change key.

The following describes the information that can appear in the display.

TIME: During your workout, a time (0:00) display appears when you begin working out. Time appears in minutes and seconds. However, should you exceed 60 min- utes (during a single workout), the Time display converts to hours and minutes. Usually, the Time display shows how long you’ve been working out. However, in warm-up and cool-down periods, the Time display indicates the minutes remaining. This also occurs in a course that has a specified duration.
