Read all instructions before using the treadmill. These instructions are written for your safety and to protect the unit.

Before beginning any fitness program, see your physician for a complete physical examination.

Il est conseillé de subir un examen médical complet avant d’entreprendre tout programme d’exercise. Si vous avez des étourdissements ou des faiblesses, arrêtez les exercices immédiatement.

DANGER

To reduce the risk of electrical shock

always unplug the treadmill from the

 

 

electrical outlet immediately after

 

using and before cleaning.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of burns, fire,

 

electric shock, or injury, take the

 

following precautions:

Do not allow children or those unfamiliar with its operation on or near the treadmill. Do not leave children unsupervised around the unit.

Never leave the treadmill unattended when it is plugged in. Unplug the treadmill from the power source when it is not in use, before cleaning it, and before acquiring authorized service.

Assemble and operate the treadmill on a solid, level surface. Locate the treadmill a few feet from walls or furniture. Keep the area behind the treadmill clear.

Maintain the treadmill in good working condition. Refer to the Maintenance section. Make sure that all fasteners are secure and the running belt is clean and running smoothly.

Use the treadmill only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer, as such attachments may cause injuries.

Never operate the unit if it is damaged, not working properly, when it has been dropped, or has been dropped in water. Return the treadmill to a service center for examination and repair.

Keep the power cord and plug away from heated surfaces.

Do not operate the treadmill where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not attempt to service the treadmill yourself except to follow the maintenance instructions found in this manual.

Never drop or insert objects into any opening. Keep hands away from moving parts.

Keep all electrical components, such as the power cord and I/O switch, away from liquids to prevent shock.

Do not set anything on the handrails, display console, or hood. Place liquids, magazines, and books in the appropriate receptacles.

Do not rock the unit. Do not stand on the handrail(s), display console, or hood.

DANGER

The treadmill must be connected to a

 

dedicated, grounded circuit. See

 

Grounding Instructions.

Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout and avoid loose clothing. Do not wear shoes with heels or leather soles. Check the soles of your shoes and remove any dirt and embedded stones. Tie long hair back.

Use care when getting on or off the treadmill. Always grasp the handrail when stepping on the running belt and keep the initial speed at or below 1 mile per hour (mph) or 1 kilometer per hour (kph). Never step off the treadmill while the running belt is moving.

Before the running belt begins moving (before your workout), and after it stops (at the end of your workout), straddle the belt by placing your feet firmly on the right and left staging platforms.

Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt to turn around on the treadmill.

The safety clip must be attached at waist level before your workout. A lanyard connects to the magnetic safety key near the red STOP button. If you encounter difficulties, a strong tug on the lanyard disengages the magnetic safety key and stops the running belt.

Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. If you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop your workout immediately and consult your physician.

When the treadmill is not in use, disconnect the unit by turning the power switch to the Off position, and then remove the power plug from the power outlet.

Heart rate and SmartRate® features are available when you wear the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips. When a heartbeat is detected, the HEART RATE display shows your heart rate and, if your age has

been entered, the SmartRate LED pulses and indicates your target zone.

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 6.

Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features

12

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

For example:

Low range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 55% High range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 85% Refer to Table 1 in Using SmartRate.

Diagram 6: Heart rate target zones

After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for a few seconds. This allows the receiver in the console to recognize the signal from the chest strap.

If Hr appears on the display, the treadmill is detecting a signal, but has not yet determined your heart rate. Make sure the chest strap is positioned properly around your chest and against your skin.

If you prefer to use the touch-sensitive handrail grips, grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips and wait five to ten seconds. Make sure both hands are moist.

Note: When a signal is detected, a number flashes in the HEART RATE display and indicates your heart rate.

Always face forward on the treadmill and use the handrail for balance. Keep upper body movement to a minimum.

Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features

13

Wearing a Chest Strap

During a workout, the heart rate features appear on the display when you wear a chest strap. To receive an accurate reading, the chest strap needs to be in direct contact with your skin.

1.Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water Refer to Diagram 7.

Important: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.

Diagram 7: Moisten chest strap

2.Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The strap should feel snug, not restrictive. Refer to Diagram 8.

.

Diagram 8: Adjust chest strap

3.Make sure that the chest strap is right side up, lies horizontally across your chest, and is centered in the middle of your chest. Refer to Diagram 9.

Diagram 9: Fasten chest strap

After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for a minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the receiver in the console to recognize the signal from the chest strap.

Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features

14

Using the Heart Rate

Touch-Sensitive Handrail Grips

While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips for a minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart rate to the display. Refer to Diagram 10.

Touch-sensitive

handrail grips

Diagram 10: Touch-sensitive handrail grips

Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver inside the display console. However, some people, because of body chemistry or erratic heart beats cannot use the touch-sensitive heart rate feature on the treadmill. A chest strap may provide better results.

Important: While exercising, do not grasp the touchsensitive handrail grips and wear the chest strap at the same time. The touch-sensitive handrail grips override the signals from the chest strap transmitter. If used together, inconsistent readings may occur.

Using SmartRate

The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your heart rate in the target zone best suited to your specific needs. All 10 LEDs may light during a workout. When the treadmill detects a heart rate, a single LED blinks and indicates the zone that your heart rate is in.

Important: To use the SmartRate feature, you must choose a program and enter your age during the setup phase of your exercise session.

The 10 LEDs in the SmartRate display are color-coded. A pulsating orange LED indicates you are outside the recommended heart rate target zone. Green LEDs indicate when you are exercising within the recommended fat burn or cardio fitness zones.

Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features

15

Table 1 shows the percents used in calculating the heart rate target zones. While your heart rate remains within these zones, the corresponding lights blink and provide a visual cue.

The calculation used to determine your maximum aerobic heart rate is (220 minus your age). When you multiply it by the percent indicated in Table 1, you can understand the relationship between the pulsating LED and your target heart rate.

CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate or go above PEAK. If it does, immediately reduce your pace or adjust the incline to return your heart rate to your physician-recommended target zone.

Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate

A heart rate receiver is an integral part of the display so you can monitor your heart rate while exercising. If you wear a chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips, your heart rate (beats per minute) appears on the display.

The Precor web site (www.precor.com) has several suggestions for workouts with varying levels of intensity. It provides many workout details that include the appropriate target heart rate.

The treadmill includes several programs that let you exercise based on a specified target heart rate. As you exercise, the heart rate programs monitor your heart rate and automatically maintain it within a few beats per minute (bpm) of your selected target. Refer to Table 2.

To use these programs, press the PROGRAMS - HEART RATE key. For more information, refer to Programs.

Heart Rate Analysis

Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or touch-sensitive handrail grips, the treadmill provides a heart rate analysis after the workout summary.

Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum heart rate achieved during your workout. A third display appears, if you entered your age, and indicates the amount of time your heart rate remained between the target zones shown.

The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate signal is received while exercising. If you use the chest strap, the average heart rate will be more accurate than if you occasionally grasp the touch-sensitive handrail grips.
