Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 13
Heart Rate Features
Heart rate and SmartRate
®
features are available when
you grasp both touch-sensitive heart rate 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.
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, see
your physician for a thorough physical examination.
Seek advice from your physician to learn the target heart
rate appropriate for your fitness level. Your heart rate
should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic
heart rate. If it does, immediately slow down and adjust
the ramp incline or resistance to return to your physical
recommended target zone.
• 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 Figure 6.
