Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 13
Using SmartRate
The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain
your heart rate in the target zone best suited to your
specific needs.
After you begin a workout, a blinking bar appears on the
SmartRate display. The blinking bar indicates the current
zone that your heart rate is in.
Important: To use the SmartRate feature, you must
choose a program and enter your age during the setup
phase of your exercise session.
Table 1 shows the percents used in calculating the heart
rate target zones. While your heart rate remains within
these zones, the corresponding bar blinks and provides a
visual cue.
The calculation used to determine your maximum aerobic
heart rate is (220 minus your age). When you multiply it by
the percent indicated in Table 1, you can understand the
relation-ship between the blinking SmartRate bar and your
target heart rate.
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of
your maximum aerobic heart rate or go above PEAK. If it
does, immediately reduce your pace or adjust the incline
to return your heart rate to your physician-recommended
target zone.
