tion about the special features and functions of the treadmill’s courses and how to
best utilize the:
• SmartRate
®
feature • Manual course
• Cross Country course • Interval course
• Weight Loss course • Random course
• Heart Rate course
Note: To choose a course (other than Manual), begin at the Precor banner and
press ENTER. User-friendly prompts guide the user through the course selec-
tions. Refer to
Quick Steps to Working Out
on page 37.
THE HEART RATE FEATURE
To use the heart rate features you must wear the POLAR
®
chest strap while
working out unless you are using the C934 with the touch-sensitive handrail
grips. The chest strap transmits your heart rate signal to the receiver installed in
the display console. The signal appears as a number in the heart rate display.
This lets you monitor your heart rate even when the display is presenting other
workout statistics.
USING THE SMARTRATE
®
FEATURE
Add the benefit of SmartRate
®
to every course on the treadmill. Using SmartRate
®
as a visual cue helps a user adjust their exercise routine to suit specific needs.
SmartRate
®
simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. A user
doesn’t have to stop concentrating on a workout to find a pulse. It is displayed
right in front of them along with the SmartRate
®
zone. Once a user begins a
workout, a blinking segment in the bar graph appears on the left of the display,
if a user entered an age during the Setup prompts. The segment blinks in time
with the user’s pulse and highlights the zone that their heart rate is in: Weight
Loss or Cardiovascular.
Important: Access to SmartRate
®
is only available when the person exercising
wears a POLAR
®
chest strap or uses the touch-sensitive grips on the handrails.
(The POLAR
®
chest strap is separate purchase option.) The SmartRate
®
indi-
cator lights do not appear when QUICKSTART is used to select a course.
For the ideal “weight loss” range, a user’s heart rate should be between 55% and
70% of his or her maximum aerobic heart rate. It should never exceed 85% of his
or her maximum aerobic heart rate or go above the user’s target zone. Refer to
Diagram 22 for the appropriate target zone.
