Refer to Quick Steps to Working Out .

THE HEART RATE FEATURE

To use the hear t rate features you must wear the chest strap while
working out unless you are using the C956i with the touch-sensitive handrail
grips. The chest strap transmits your heart rate signal 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.
Note: The SmartRate display does not appear if you use the QUICKSTART key
to access a program. Refer to QUICKSTART on page 34.

USING THE SMARTRATE FEATURE

Add the benefit of SmartRate to every program 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 chest strap or uses the touch-sensitive grips on the handrail. (The chest strap is a
separate purchase option.)
