Heart Rate Features
Heart rate and SmartRate
®
features are available when
you grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips or wear a
chest strap on the 9.27 treadmill. When a heartbeat is
detected, the heart icon continues to blink while a heart
rate is discernible. If no heart rate is detected, the outline
around the heart icon remains lit and does not blink. During
a workout, a number representing your heart rate is
displayed.
Important Use and Safety Information
Read the following before using the heart rate or
SmartRate features.
• Consult your physician before engaging in any vigorous
exercise. Do not use the heart rate programs until
authorized by your physician.
• Know your heart rate and your physician-recommended
heart rate target zone. Individual heart rates vary
according to several physiological factors and may not
correspond directly with Diagram 4.
• The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is
(220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent and is
controlled by the user increasing or decreasing the
incline.
For example:
Fat Burn program: (220 minus your age) multiplied by
55%
Cardio program: (220 minus your age) multiplied by
80%
Refer to Table 1 in Using SmartRate.
