Owner’s Manual Addendum
This addendum accompanies your M9.21/M9.21S, M9.41s, or
C942 Owner's Manual and provides information about the new
Smart Rate display.
As you can see on your new treadmill’s electronic console
display. Smart Rate has been added. An explanation of this
new feature is provided below.
Nolo: You must wear the Precor chest strap to transmit your
heart rate to the receiver in the electronic console. Refer to
your Precor Heart Rate Option Owner’s Manual.
SMART RATE: ™ When the optional Precor heart rate receiver
has been properly installed and you wear the Precor Heart
Rate Option’s chest strap, a blinking segment in the bar graph
appears on the left of the display. If you have entered your
accurate age (completed during the setup prompts), the
blinking segment shows you the zone that your heart rate is in:
either Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.
Important: The Smart Rate blinking Indicator light and the
heart rate display only appear when the Precor heart rate
receiver is Installed in the electronic display and the chest strap
transmitter is used. The Smart Rate indicator lights do not
appear when you use the Quick Start key. If the Smart Rate
lights appear, but do not blink, it means that a receiver Is
installed, but that you are not wearing the chest strap
transmitter or it is not working properly. To correct transmitter
problems, refer to your Precor Heart Rate Option Owner’s
Manual or refer to Obtaining Senrice 'm your owner’s manual.
Understanding Smart Rate
The treadmills’ software incorporates the latest in cardiac
monitoring to provide Smart Rate ™ —a visual aid that lets the
user know where his or her heart rate is at a glance. When the
optional receiver is installed and the Precor Heart Rate Option
chest strap is worn, the graph on the display lights up with
colored cells to indicate exercise intensity. A specific percent of
the user’s heart rate appears as a blinking cell within that zone.
Smart Rate simplifies the correlation between heart rate and
exercise. You don’t have to stop concentrating on your workout
to find your pulse anymore. If you enter your appropriate age
during the setup prompts, Smart Rate performs all the calcula¬
tions for you and displays a graphic image of where you are in
your zone. Smart Rate uses your age and your maximum
aerobic heart rate to calculate the zone. The blinking cell
symbolizes the percent at which your heart rate is working.
Using Smart Rate during a workout with any treadmill program
helps maximize your weight loss or cardiovascular fitness
regimen. While you work out in a particular course, try
changing the speed or incline to help position your heart rate in
the desired Smart Rate zone.
