Steps to Working Out on page 35.
THE HEART RATE FEATURE
To use the heart rate features you must wear the POLAR
®
chest strap while
working out unless you are using the C956i with the touch-sensitive handrail grips.
The chest strap transmits your heart rate signal to the receiver installed in
the display console. The signal appears as a number in the heart rate display. This
lets you monitor your heart rate even when the display is presenting other workout
statistics.
Note: The SmartRate
®
display does not appear if you use the QUICKSTART key
to access a program. Refer to QUICKSTART on page 31.
USING THE SMARTRATE
®
FEATURE
Add the benefit of SmartRate
®
to every program on the treadmill. Using SmartRate
®
as a visual cue helps you adjust your exercise routine to suit specific needs.
SmartRate
®
simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. You don’t
have to stop concentrating on your workout to find your pulse. It is displayed right in
front of you along with the SmartRate
®
zone. Once you begin a workout, a blinking
segment in the bar graph appears on the left of the display, if you entered your age
during the Setup prompts. The segment blinks in time with your pulse and high-
lights the zone that your heart rate is in: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.
Important: Access to SmartRate
®
is only available when the person exercising wears
a POLAR
®
chest strap or uses the touch-sensitive electrode grip on the handrail. (The
POLAR
®
chest strap and the “touch” capability are separate purchase
options.) The SmartRate
®
indicator lights do not appear when QUICKSTART is used
to select a program.
