User’s Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features 5
• After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for a
minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the receiver in the console to
recognize the signal from the chest strap. If Hr blinks in the
HEART RATE display, the cycle is detecting a signal, but has not
yet determined your heart rate. Make sure the chest strap is
positioned properly around your chest and against your skin.
• When a signal is detected, a number flashes in the HEART RATE
display and indicates your heart rate. The heart rate indicator
blinks in rhythm to your heart rate. If no signal is detected, the
HEART RATE display appears blank and the heart rate indicator
remains lit without blinking.
• Always face forward on the cycle and use the handlebars for
balance.
• Maintain a consistent pedaling speed while exercising. Find a
comfortable pedaling speed between 20 and 150 revolutions per
minute.
Using SmartRate
The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your heart rate
in the target zone best suited to your specific needs. When the cycle
detects a heart rate, a single LED blinks and indicates the zone that
your heart rate is in.
Important: To use the SmartRate feature, you must enter your age
during program selection. Refer to Selecting a Program.
The 7 LEDs in the SmartRate display are color-coded. Pulsating
orange LEDs indicate you are exercising outside the recommended
heart rate target zone. Green LEDs indicate when you are exercising
within the recommended fat burn or cardio fitness zones.
Table 1 shows the percents used in calculating the heart rate target
zones. While your heart rate remains within these zones, the
corresponding lights blink and provide a visual cue.
