Important: During a course, your heart rate must be above 40 beats per minute
before the segment begins to blink. Note that pressing QuickStart at the Precor
banner makes the SmartRate
®
display feature inactive.
Heart Rate Display
The heart rate display lets you monitor your heart rate. When a heart beat is de-
tected, the number appears when the display scans HEART RATE. If you are not
wearing a POLAR
®
chest strap, your heart rate will not be detected and no pulse rate
appears (the display remains blank).
Important: If a “— — —” appears in the display, the M9.31 is having difficulty
detecting your heart rate. Make sure that the POLAR
®
chest strap is positioned
properly on your chest against your skin. If the heart rate receiver in the display
console has become disconnected, the display appears blank. Refer to
Precor
SmartRate
®
and Heart Rate System
on page 24.
Center Display During a Workout
The Precor banner, setup prompts, course profiles and feature selections appear in
the center display. Prior to working out, prompts guide you through the Setup mode.
Refer to
Setup Mode and Prompts
.
Once you begin a workout, the SCAN LED is lit indicating that all highlighted features
(PROFILE, TIME, DISTANCE, etc.) will appear consecutively on the display. You can
change what features are scanned by pressing the Select key. Refer to
Changing the
Display Features Using the SELECT Key
on page 30.
The following describes the information that can appear in the display.
PROFILE: At the beginning of a course, the profile appears on the right side of the display
and corresponds to the course that you selected. As you proceed through your workout,
your position in the course is indicated by a blinking column. The height of the column
indicates the level of incline. Every time the incline changes by several sequential levels
(up or down) the height of the column changes by one cell.
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. Most
often, the Time display shows the amount of time remaining in your workout.
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
Advanced Programming Techniques
on page 31.
CALORIES: Provides an estimate of the cumulative number of calories burned. The
calorie calculation is derived from the speed, incline level, and your weight. An
accurate weight entry results in a more accurate calorie count.
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 11 mph (1 to 18 kph) and
can be changed in 0.1 mph increments from 1 to 11 mph (1 to 18 kph).
Note: You can check the speed (when it is not the chosen display) any time during
your workout by tapping either Speed ▼ or ▲ key. Pressing and holding the Speed ▼
or ▲ key causes the treadmill’s speed to change. Refer to
Keys on the Keypad
