The Basic HRC Program (P8) 
adjusts the resistance to 
maintain your heart rate within 
two beats per minute of the 

target heart rate while you exercise. To help you monitor 
your heart rate while using this program, Target HR 
Achieved appears at the top of the SmartRate display 
when your heart rate is within two beats per minute of the 
target heart rate.

To use this program, you must enter your age and grasp 
the touch-sensitive grips so your heart rate can be 
monitored throughout the session.

The Basic HRC Program enhances your overall 
cardiovascular fitness level to help you achieve your weight

The program provides a 3-minute warm-up period. 
During this time, you may change the CrossRamp or 
resistance, but you cannot adjust the time. At the end 
of the warm-up period, the program automatically 
controls the resistance.

Note: The warm-up period ends and the program 
begins when the 3-minute period elapses or your target 
heart rate is maintained within +/- 2 beats per minute.

Pressing the RESISTANCE arrow keys during the 
Basic HRC program adjusts your target heart rate.
