Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features

For the ideal weight loss range, the first, second, and third
SmartRate LEDs are lit and the fourth LED blinks. If you’re
working out in the cardiovascular zone, the fifth or sixth LED
should be blinking. Refer to Table 1.

Table 1. Heart rate target zones and SmartRate LEDs

CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of
your maximum aerobic heart rate. If it does, the seventh
SmartRate LED begins to blink. Immediately reduce your
pace or adjust the incline to return your heart rate to its
target zone.

Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate

The treadmill includes a program that lets you exercise
based on a specified heart rate. You set your target heart
rate at the beginning. As you exercise, the Heart Rate
Control program monitors your heart rate and automatically
maintains it within a few beats per minutes (bpm) of your
selected target. Your actual heart rate (pulse) appears in the
display when the HEART RATE LED is lit.

To use this program, select HRC. You must also wear the
chest strap so the program can monitor your heart rate
throughout the workout. For more information, refer to Heart
Rate Control (HRC) Program
.
