User’s Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 7
Using SmartRate
The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your heart
rate in the target zone best suited to your specific needs. All 15
LEDs may light during a workout. When the cycle detects a heart
rate, a single LED blinks and indicates the zone that your heart rate
is in, either weight loss or cardiovascular.
The 15 LEDs in the SmartRate display are color-coded. A pulsating
red LED indicates you are outside the recommended heart rate
target zone. Yellow LEDs indicate when you are exercising within the
weight loss zone. Green LEDs indicate when you are exercising
within the cardiovascular zone.
Refer to Table 1 to see the relationship between the pulsating LED
and your target heart rate.
The SmartRate indicator lights do not appear when:
• You press QUICKSTART at the Precor banner.
• You bypass the AGE prompt.
• You do not wear or improperly position the chest strap. Or, you
fail to grasp both touch-sensitive handlebar grips for five to ten
seconds.
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, immediately reduce
your pedaling speed (RPM) or the resistance to return your
heart rate to your physician-recommended target zone.
