To use the Heart Rate Course follow the steps found in
Quick Steps to Working Out
on page 21 and choose HRC as the COURSE. Enter the course TIME, your
WEIGHT and AGE. When you begin the course, the following occurs:
• The software verifies that it detects a heart rate signal. You need to press the
Speed ▲ key to begin your workout.
Note: If the treadmill is having difficulty detecting your heart rate, three dashes
will (- - -) appear in the Heart Rate display. Use the Precor spray that is supplied
with the chest strap and readjust the strap around your chest. Make sure that it is
against your skin.
• The treadmill provides a three minute warm-up period before entering the Heart
Rate Course. During this time, you may make changes to the incline by pressing
the Incline ▲▼ keys. Use the Speed ▼▲ keys to set the running belt’s speed.
Note: If your heart rate moves into the heart rate zone for your age during the
three minute warm-up period, the warm-up period ends and the Heart Rate
Course begins.
• After the warm-up period, the treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to keep
your heart rate at the selected target. Pressing the Incline ▲▼ keys no longer
affects the treadmill’s incline, but does affect a change to the
target heart rate
.
You can also check the SmartRate
®
display to see if you are in your preferred
zone (cardiovascular or weight loss).
Note: You can change your target heart rate or speed anytime during a workout, but
doing so affects the treadmill’s ability to maintain your target heart rate in the
preferred zone. It takes time for the treadmill to readjust the incline so that your heart
rate remains on target.
Important: A warning message will appear if you go above your maximum
recommended heart rate target zone. Heed the warning and get permission from
your personal physician before working out above the maximum recommended
zone for your age and fitness level. See Diagram 20 on the previous page for the
recommended target zones.
• When you complete the course, remember to incorporate a cooling down period.
