HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine
if your workout is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring your heart rate
is easy with the STAR TRAC E-ST STEPPER. You may use a heart rate strap, or you can simply grasp the silver contact heart rate
grips. Your goal will be to keep your exercise heart rate between 60 and 90 percent of the theoretical maximum for your age, as shown
in the accompanying Target Heart Rate table.
NOTE: The Heart Rate monitor is not a medical test, nor is it designed as a medical test. It is simply a guide to target heart rate train-
ing. Please consult with your physician prior to engaging in any strenuous physical activity.
NOTE: If both the heart rate grips and a heart rate strap are being used, the heart rate grips will override and be displayed in the HR
window.
IMPORTANT: The manufacturer does not warrant the heart rate system performance on this product, as the heart rate system per-
formance varies, based on a user's physiology, fitness level, age, method of use and other factors. Furthermore, the heart rate system
is not for medical use.
