Heart Rate Features

114

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 the SmartRate LED pulses and indicates your target zone.

Guidelines

Read the following before using the heart rate feature.

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

Know your heart rate (pulse) and your physicianrecommended heart rate target zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several physiological factors and may not correspond directly with Diagram 5.

Diagram 5: Heart rate target zones

The target heart rate is determined using a simple calculation:

(220 minus age) multiplied by 70%

Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features

11

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.

If you prefer to use the hand-held heart rate feature, grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips and wait five to ten seconds. Your heart rate appears in the Heart Rate display.

If three dashes (— — —) appear on the display, the treadmill cannot detect a heart rate. Make sure the chest strap is positioned properly around your chest and against your skin. If you are using the touch-sensitive handrail grips, make sure your hands are moist (not dry) and you use both hands.

Always face forward on the treadmill and use the handrail for balance.

Using the Heart Rate

Touch-Sensitive 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 6.

Diagram 6: 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 handrail grips on the treadmill. A chest strap may provide better results.

Important: While exercising, do not wear a chest strap and grasp the touch-sensitive handrail grips at the same time. Although the chest strap transmitter overrides signals from the touch-sensitive handrail grips, using both features may cause erratic heart rate readings.

Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features

12

Using SmartRate

The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your heart rate in the target zone best suited to your specific needs. All 15 LEDs may light during a workout. When you wear the chest strap, a single LED blinks and indicates the zone that your heart rate is in, either weight loss or cardiovascular.

The 15 LEDs in the SmartRate display are color-coded. A pulsating red LED indicates you are outside the

recommended heart rate target zone. Yellow LEDs indicate when you are exercising within the weight loss zone. Green LEDs indicate when you are exercising within the cardiovascular zone.

Refer to Table 1 to see the relationship between the pulsating LED and your target heart rate.

The SmartRate indicator lights do not appear when:

You press QUICKSTARTTM at the banner

You bypass the AGE prompt

You do not wear or improperly position the chest strap

You fail to grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips for five to ten seconds

Note: Review the information on the QUICKSTART card that accompanies your literature packet. It explains how to adjust the chest strap.

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

Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate

The treadmill includes a program that lets you exercise based on a specified heart rate. You set your target heart rate and the speed of the running belt at the beginning. As you exercise, the Heart Rate Control program monitors your heart rate and automatically maintains it within a few beats per minute (bpm) of your selected target. Your actual heart rate (pulse) appears in the Heart Rate display.

To use this program, select HRC. You must also wear the chest strap so the program can monitor your heart rate throughout the workout. For more information, refer to Heart Rate Control (HRC) Program.
