HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your
workout is too challenging or not challenging enough.
Monitoring your heart rate is easy with the STAR TRAC
PRO STEPPER. You may use a heart rate strap, or you
can simply grasp the silver contact heart rate grips. Your
goal will be to keep your exercise heart rate between 60
and 90 percent of the theoretical maximum for your age,
as shown in the accompanying Target Heart Rate table.
NOTE: The Heart Rate monitor is not a medical test, nor
is it designed as a medical test. It is simply a guide to tar-
get heart rate training. Please consult with your physi-
cian prior to engaging in any strenuous physical activity.
NOTE: If both the heart rate grips and a heart rate strap are being used, the heart rate grips will override and be displayed in
the HR window.
IMPORTANT: The manufacturer does not warrant the heart rate system performance on this product, as the heart rate system
performance varies, based on a user's physiology, fitness level, age, method of use and other factors. Furthermore, the heart rate
system is not for medical use.

You may use the heart rate strap to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps:
1. Before beginning your workout, or during a pause, moisten the back of the transmitter on the heart rate strap. Place the
strap snugly around your chest with the transmitter resting directly over your sternum.
2. When your heart rate has been acquired, the indicator and your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) display in the
HEART RATE field of the Information Window.
3. Remove the heart rate strap if you wish to remove your heart rate reading from the display.
NOTE: The performance of the transmitter may be affected by body types, body oils, metal in clothing, and outside electrical inter-
ference. Always be sure that the transmitter and skin are in good contact. Avoid operating other electrical equipment near your
Stepper when you use the heart rate strap.
QUICK START
Quick Start lets you begin your workout by simply pressing one key, or by stepping for approximately 13 seconds without press-
ing any key. Quick Start uses a default weight as set in Manager/Maintenance Mode, a difficulty L
EVEL of 1, and a time limit as
set in Manager/Maintenance Mode. YOU control resistance L
EVEL during the entire program.
To operate the Quick Start program:
1. Mount the Stepper, begin stepping, and press the QUICK START key.
2. If desired, you can use the personal fan during your workout (see “Using the Personal Fan” for details).
To calculate your training zone, use the following formulas:
(theoretical max HR = 220 - Age)
Heart Rate Training Range Upper Level
_____________________x 0.90 = ___________________________
Your Theoretical Max Training Range Upper Limit
Heart Rate Training Range Lower Level
_____________________x 0.60 = ___________________________
Your Theoretical Max Training Range Lower Limit
NOTE: Calculating your theoretical maximum heart rate
using age is an approximation. For more information, please
contact a fitness professional or doctor.
