Precor
Heart
Rate
Option—Safety
Guidelines
The
Precor
Heart
Rate
Option
was
created
and
designed
exclusively
for
Precor
products.
The
equipment
is
extremely
sensitive—you
should
use
the
heart
rate
option
with
this
in
mind
and
take
time
to
read
the
following
guidelines:
•
Handle
the
Precor
Heart
Rate
Option
with
care.
Do
not
drop
the
equipment.
It
might
damage
the
transmitter
and
you
could
void
the
manufacturer’s
limited
warranty.
•
Do
not
place
the
chest
strap
near
strong
electromagnetic
radiation
sources.
Televi¬
sion
sets,
electric
motors,
radios,
and
high
voltage
power
lines
can
interfere
with
the
heart
rate
signal
that
is
being
transmitted
to
the
receiver
and
might
affect
the
heart
rate
readings
that
appear
on
the
electronic
console.
•
Use
only
one
chest
strap
at
a
time
inside
the
range
of
the
receiver.
If
the
receiver
tries
to
process
several
signals
simultaneously,
an
incorrect
heart
rate
reading
could
result.
Be
sure
to
keep
any
other
transmitters
at
least
5
feet
(1.5
meters)
away
from
the
receiver
on
your
M9.45
treadmill.
•
Keep
the
equipment
dry.
Although
the
chest
strap
should
not
be
immersed
in
water,
wetting
the
electrodes
and
your
chest
will
improve
the
initial
performance.
Note
that
perspiration
on
the
chest
strap
during
workouts
is
normal
and
actually
enhances
the
signal
being
sent
from
the
chest
strap's
transmitter.
•
To
conduct
the
electrical
impulses
from
your
heart,
the
chest
strap’s
electrodes
require
a
certain
percentage
of
salts
and
minerals
in
the
water
used
to
wet
them.
The
electrodes
continue
to
transmit
your
heart
rate
reading
as
long
as
they
are
in
contact
with
your
skin
and
your
skin
is
providing
enough
moisture
through
your
perspiration
to
keep
the
electrodes
wet.
However,
if
the
concentration
of
salts
in
your
perspiration
is
not
high
enough
to
conduct
electrical
impulses
and
send
them
to
the
receiver,
your
heart
rate
reading
will
appear
erratic
or
not
appear
at
all.
Some
people
cannot
use
the
heart
rate
feature
because
they
do
not
have
the
proper
body
chemistry.
•
Do
not
use
the
chest
strap
if
you
are
taking
any
medication
or
have
a
cardiac
pace¬
maker.
Inaccurate
heart
rate
readings
can
occur
due
to
medication
or
electrical
impulses
from
the
cardiac
pacemaker.
•
Stretching
or
bending
the
electrode
strips
on
the
chest
strap
may
cause
the
strips
to
lose
their
conductivity.
Handle
the
chest
strap
with
care.
•
After
extensive
use,
the
chest
strap
(transmitter)
may
wear
out,
causing
inaccurate
heart
rate
readings.
With
every
use,
check
the
strap
for
excessive
wear
and
replace
it
if
necessary.
See
Obtaining
Service
in
the
maintenance
section
of
this
manual.

By
following
the
above
precautions
and
using
good
common
sense,
you
will
have
many
safe
and
pleasurable
hours
of
healthful
exercise
with
your
Precor

Low
Impact
Treadmill
You
do
not
need
any
special
knowledge
or
experience
to
set
up
a
M9.45
treadmill.
However,
you
must
review
and
follow
the
instructions
in
this
manual.
If
you
do
not
assemble
and
use
the
treadmill
according
to
the
following
guidelines,
you
could
void
the
Precor
limited

Installation
Requirements
CAUTION:
Do
not
remove
or
otherwise
bypass
the
3-prong
plug
with
an
adapter
or
extension
cord
in
order
to
use
a
non-grounded
outlet.
Electrical
damage
can
occur
if
the
treadmill
is
connected
to
an
improper
power
source.
Follow
these
installation
requirements
when
installing
the
treadmill:
•
Fill
out
and
mail
the
limited
warranty
card.
The
serial
number
is
printed
on
a
label
located
underneath
the
treadmill
on
the
left,
rear
corner
of
the
running
bed.
The
best
time
to
locate
and
write
the
serial
number
onto
the
limited
warranty
card
and
in
this
manual
is
while
the
treadmill
is
on
its
side
during
the
assembly
process.
Refer
to
Obtaining
Service.
•
Set
up
the
M9.45
treadmill
on
a
solid,
flat
surface.Do
not
install
the
treadmill
on
deeply
padded
or
shag
carpeting
due
to
possible
damage
to
the
carpet
and
machine.
If
the
treadmill
is
installed
in
a
carpeted
area,
place
a
piece
of
heavy
cardboard,
plywood,
or
other
solid,
smooth,
flat
surface
under
the
unit
to
protect
the
carpet
and
treadmill.
If
the
floor
is
not
even,
the

belt
will
not
track
properly.
Refer
to

switch.
Open
space
to
the
sides
and
back
of
the
machine
makes
for
a
safer
mount
and
dismount
and
easier
belt
adjustment.
Use
the
appropriate
voltage,

grounded
plug
provides
for
your
safety
and
protects
the
machine.
