Smart Rate ® Display
You must enter your “AGE” after selecting a user I.D., and wear a POLAR ® chest strap,
while in a course program, before the blinking segment in the bar graph can show
which zone your heart rate is in: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.
• Weight Loss Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 55% and 70% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate, helps burn enough calories that, when continued on
a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides the greatest fat-burning results.
• Cardiovascular Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate, helps you (when continued on a regular basis for 30
minutes or more) improve your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespiratory fitness level.
Important: During a course, your heart rate must be above 40 beats per minute
before the segment begins to blink. Note that pressing Quick Start may disable
the Smart Rate
® display feature. See Quick Start on page 31.
Heart Rate Display
The heart rate display lets you monitor your heart rate. When a heart beat is detected,
the number appears in the small upper right display (refer to Diagram 15) and blinks in
time with your pulse. If you are not wearing a POLAR
® chest strap, your heart rate will
not be detected and no pulse rate appears.
Upper Display
The Precor banner, user I.D. (or name) and course profiles appear in the large upper
display (dot matrix). Always start a workout at the Precor banner. During workouts,
the course profile appears in the upper display and corresponds to the course that
you selected. As you proceed through your workout, your position is indicated by a
blinking column.
User I.D: One of four user I.D.’s can appear on the display. Choosing a user I.D.
enables the treadmill to identify you and track your cumulative workout statistics. It
stores information about your weight, preferred course, age, cumulative workout
statistics, and track record. Refer to
Changing the User Display Fields on page 26.
Lower Display
Prompts appear in this alphanumeric display prior to your workout. You address each
prompt using the number or keypad keys. Once you begin a workout, lights appear in
the columns below the window indicating which information is being displayed. You
can highlight a particular feature by pressing the appropriate Change key.
The following describes the information that can appear in the display.
TIME: During your workout, a time (0:00) display appears when you begin working
out. Time appears in minutes and seconds. However, should you exceed 60 minutes
(during a single workout), the Time display converts to hours and minutes. Usually,
the Time display shows how long you’ve been working out. However, in warm-up and
cool-down periods, the Time display indicates the minutes remaining. This also
occurs in a course that has a specified duration.
DISTANCE: The distance that you have travelled appears (00.00) once you begin a
workout. Distance can appear in miles or kilometers. If you wish to change the display,
follow the instructions found in
Programming the M9.55 Treadmill on page 32.
SPEED: Displays the running belt’s speed. The ▼ and ▲ keys let you decrease or increase
the treadmill’s speed. The running belt speed ranges from 0.5 to 12 mph
(1 to 20 kph). You can also use the number keys to designate the speed, once the running
belt is moving. Refer to Number Keys and Speed Control
▼▲ on pages 30 and 31.
Note: You can check the speed (when it is not the chosen display) any time during your
workout by lightly pressing either Speed
▼ or ▲ key (for less than 2 seconds). Pressing
the Speed ▼ or ▲ key for more than 2 seconds causes the treadmill’s speed to change.
