that help you adjust your tnes s routine t o reach y our
goals. Use these features t o keep your heart r ate within
the target zones.
W ear a Chest Str ap
During a work out, the heart rate f eatures appear on
the display when you wear a chest str ap. T o rec eive an
accurate r eading, the chest strap needs to be in dir ect
contact with y our skin. A fter you put on the chest str ap,
face the display console for a minimum of 15 seconds. T his
allows the receiv er in the console to rec ognize the signal
from the chest strap.
1. Carefully dampen the back of the str ap with tap
water (Diagr am A ).
IMPORT ANT: Do not use deionized water . It does
not have the proper minerals and salts to conduct
electrical impulses.
2. Adjust the str ap and f asten it ar ound your chest.
The str ap should feel snug, not r estrictive
(Diagram B ).
3. Mak e sure that the chest str ap is right side up , lies
horizontally acr oss your chest, and is c entered in
the middle of y our chest (Diagr am C).
When these steps ar e complete, you ar e ready to view
your heart r ate.
T ouch-Sensitive Handrail Grips
Sever al Pr ecor products incorporate touch-sensitive
heart rate grips on the handr ails. If you prefer t o use
the touch-sensitive handr ail grips, use both hands.
Make sur e both hands are moist (not dry ) and avoid
grasping the sensors too tightly .
Note: F or the best heart rate monitoring r esults, wear a
chest strap .
smartra te® Fea tures
When you begin an ex ercise session, a blinking
segment in the SmartRate displa y appears if you
entered y our age during the setup phase. The blinking
segment indicates the curr ent z one of your heart rate.
The calculation used for the heart r ate targ et zone is
your maximum aerobic heart r ate:
(220 minus your age), multiplied by a percentage.
F or the ideal w eight loss r ange, your heart rate should
remain betw een 55% and 69% of your maximum
aerobic heart rate. T o impro ve your o ver all
cardiov ascular and r espiratory tness level, maintain
your heart rate betw een 70% and 85% of y our
maximum aerobic heart rate. F or the gr eatest benets,
maintain your heart r ate in either zone f or 30 minutes or
more at least three times a week.
CAUTION: Y our heart rate should nev er exc eed
85% of your maximum aerobic heart r ate or go
above y our target zone (Diagr am D ).
Cool Do wn aFter Y our w ork out
Cooling do wn is an important aspect of your w orkout
because it helps reduce muscle stiness and
soreness by transporting ex cess lactic acid out of the
working muscles. C ooling down for at least three
minutes helps pr ovide a smooth transition that allows
your heart rate to r eturn to its normal, non-exer cising state.
