Using the Touch-Sensitive Grips
While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive grips
for a minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart
rate to the display. Refer to Diagram 10.

Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration
provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the
receiver inside the display console. However, some people,
because of body chemistry or erratic heart beats cannot use
the touch-sensitive heart rate feature on the treadmill. A
chest strap may provide better results.
Important: While exercising, do not grasp the touch-
sensitive grips and wear the chest strap at the same time.
The touch-sensitive grips override the signals from the chest
strap transmitter. If used together, inconsistent readings may
occur.
Using SmartRate
The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your
heart rate in the target zone best suited to your specific
needs. All 7 green LEDs may light during a workout. When
the 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.
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.
