The AMT does not require an electrical power connection. It has an internal battery that is recharged every time you exercise for a reasonable period of time. Moving the foot plates causes the Precor banner to appear. You can press QUICKSTART or select a program to begin exercising.
Heart Rate Features CALORIES HEART RATE SmartRate WARMUP FATBURN CARDIO PEAK HIGH Heart rate and SmartRate features are available when you wear the ® chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive handlebar 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.
• 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 three dashes (— — —) appear on the display, the AMT is detecting a signal, but has not yet determined your heart rate.
You do not enter your age when prompted after you select a program. For example, pressing QUICKSTART at the Precor banner causes the Manual Program to begin. Your age has not been entered and is considered a null value. An LED does not blink in the SmartRate display because the appropriate calculations have not been made.
