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:
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.

• 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 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
High
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 (not dry).

Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 13
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 6.
Touch-sensitive
handrail grips
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 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.
Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 14
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 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.
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.

The SmartRate indicator lights do not appear when:
• You press QUICKSTART at the banner.
• You do not enter your age before an exercise session.
• 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.
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.

User Identification
Choosing a user identification (user ID) enables the treadmill
to identify you and track your cumulative workout statistics.
Once you configure your user ID key, you can personalize
your workout session and store information about your
preferred program, workout time, weight, and age.
The user ID keys allow four people to customize, store, and
retrieve workout selections.
Initially, you must “add a user” so the treadmill can store
exercise session information associated with the specific
user key. Once you enter the requested information, it is
stored until you opt to change it. You can select the same
user ID key time and time again, and your user preferences
will automatically be re-instated.
This section explains how to:
• Add a user.
• Update your personal information.
• Change the user name and clear your workout statistics.
