Treadmill Safety Features The treadmill is equipped with certain items that, when used properly, help sustain an enjoyable workout. These items include: • Safety clip and magnetic safety key • Safety code • Handrails • Power switch Important: Before exercising, review the Important Safety Instructions found at the beginning of this manual.
An asterisk appears on the display with each key press. If a key is not pressed within 30 seconds or the correct safety code is not entered within two minutes, the Precor banner appears on the display and the running belt does not move.
Location It is important to keep the area around the treadmill open and free from encumbrances such as other equipment. The minimum space requirement needed for user safety and proper maintenance is three feet wide by six feet deep (one meter wide by two meters deep), directly behind the running belt.
Heart Rate Features CALORIES 9.35 SmartRate WARMUP FATBURN CARDIO ® 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, if your age has been entered, the SmartRate LED pulses and indicates your target zone.
Page 15
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 chest and against your skin.
Wearing a Chest Strap During a workout, the heart rate features appear on the display when you wear a chest strap. To receive an accurate reading, the chest strap needs to be in direct contact with your skin. 1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water Refer to Diagram 7.
All 10 LEDs may light during a workout. When the handrail grips 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 choose a program and enter your age during the setup phase of your exercise session.
Page 18
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 relation- ship between the pulsating LED and your target 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.
