THE HEART RATE FEATURE

To use the heart rate features you must wear the POLAR® chest strap while work- ing out unless you plan to grasp the touch-sensitive handrail grips.Your heart rate signal is transmitted to the receiver installed in the display console. The signal appears as a number in the heart rate display.This lets you monitor your heart rate even when the display is presenting other workout statistics.

USING THE SMARTRATE® FEATURE

Add the benefit of SmartRate® to every course on the treadmill. Using SmartRate® as a visual cue helps you adjust your exercise routine to suit specific needs. SmartRate® simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. You don’t have to stop concentrating on your workout to find your pulse. It is displayed right in front of you along with the SmartRate® zone. Once you begin a workout, a blinking segment in the bar graph appears on the left of the display, if you entered your age during the Setup prompts. The segment blinks in time with your pulse and high- lights the zone that your heart rate is in: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.

Important: Access to SmartRate® is only available when the person exercising wears a POLAR® chest strap or uses the touch-sensitive grips on the handrail. (The POLAR® chest strap is a separate purchase option.) The SmartRate® indi- cators do not blink or flash when QuickStart is used to select a course. The SmartRate® indicators light up, but do not provide any information about the heart rate target zone.
