Heart Rate Monitoring; Quick Start - Star Trac E-SM StairMill Owner's Manual

HEART RATE MONITORING

Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your work-
out is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring
your heart rate is easy with the Star Trac StairMill. You
may use a heart rate strap, or you can simply grasp the
silver contact heart rate grips. Your goal will be to keep your
exercise heart rate between 60 and 90 percent of the
theoretical maximum for your age, as shown in the
accompanying target heart rate table.
NOTE: The Heart Rate monitor is not a medical test, nor is
it designed as a medical test. It is simply a guide to target
heart rate training. Please consult with your physician prior
to engaging in any strenuous physical activity.
NOTE: If both the heart rate grips and a heart rate strap
are being used, the heart rate grips will override and be dis-
played in the HR window.
IMPORTANT: The manufacturer does not warrant the heart
rate system performance on this product, as the heart rate
system performance varies, based on a user's physiology,
fitness level, age, method of use and other factors.
Furthermore, the heart rate system is not for medical use.
