Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 14
Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate
A heart rate receiver is an integral part of the display so
you can monitor your heart rate while exercising. You must
wear a chest strap (9.27 only) or grasp both touch-
sensitive handrail grips and enter your age. Your heart rate
(beats per minute) appears on the display.
Important: Enter an accurate age when queried otherwise
a default age of 35 years is used for heart rate
calculations.
The Precor web site (www.precor.com) has several
suggestions for workouts with varying levels of intensity. It
provides many workout details that include the appropriate
target heart rate.
The 9.27 treadmill includes two programs, Heart Rate Fat
Burn (P9) and Heart Rate Cardio (P10), which let you
exercise based on a specified heart rate. Refer to
Programs.
During the warm-up period, you can change the incline or
speed using the INCLINE and SPEED arrow keys.
Tapping the INCLINE key, displays your target heart rate
(THR). When the warm-up period ends, the INCLINE keys
affect the target heart rate and not the treadmill’s incline.
If you wish to adjust your target heart rate (THR) you can
do so after selecting a program and completing the warm-
up period.
To use the 9.27 programs, press the PROGRAMS key
until the desired program, P9 or P10 appears. For more
information, refer to Programs.
Note: The 9.23 does not contain programs that
automatically maintain your heart rate within a target zone,
but you can monitor your heart rate with any program if you
use the touch-sensitive handrail grips. When you enter
your age during the setup prompts, the SmartRate display
provides a visual cue that helps keep you within the
desired heart rate target zone.
Heart Rate Analysis
Every time you complete a program using the chest strap
(9.27 only) or the touch-sensitive handrail grips, your
average heart rate appears along with your workout
summary statistics.
The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart
rate signal is received while exercising. If you use the chest
strap on the 9.27, the average heart rate will be more
accurate than if you occasionally grasp the touch-sensitive
handrail grips.
