HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your workout is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring
heart rate is easy with the STAR TRAC S SERIES TREADMILL. You may use a heart rate strap (not provided with the
treadmill), or you can simply grasp the silver contact heart rate grips.
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.
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.
