Note: Optional hand weights, called Precor Smart Weights, are available from your local
dealer. Precor Smart Weights provide 1- or 2-pound hand weights with the added conve-
nience of remote control. The remote control lets you change your speed or incline and stop
the running belt. Precor Smart Weights give you control of your treadmill’s electronic console

press SPEED until the running belt stops.) You can then review your workout results as
the display scans through DISTANCE, TIME, and CALORIES. (HEART RATE appears if you
are wearing the Precor chest strap.)
Note: Always allow yourself a cool-down period of a few minutes before bringing the running
belt to a complete stop. Cooling down after your workout helps reduce muscle stiffness and
soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. It also helps your
heart rate return to its normal (non-exercising) state. You can access the manual mode
(MAN’L) from any program by tapping STOP twice in quick succession. Manual mode enables
you to change the speed and incline and adapt a cool-down period into your workout.
