User should consult a physician to
determine an appropriate target
heart rate in which to exercise in
based on age, weight and physical
condition. While Nautilus provides
some target heart rate ranges,
these are only approximations and
should not be viewed as a medical
recommendation.

Heart Rate (HR) Zone Trainer Program
The Heart Rate Zone Trainer program allows you to exercise at a selected
target heart rate by automatically varying the intensity level (resistance)
during the workout. The default target heart rate is equal to 70% of your
maximum heart rate which is calculated by the following equation:
Max HR = 215 – (.75 * Age). Target HR = Max HR * .7
To choose a different target heart rate (between 100 and 180 beats per
minute) at any time during the workout, use the numeric keypad to enter the
new target heart rate, followed by the [ENTER] key.
To use the HR Zone Trainer program:
1. For best results, use a telemetry heart rate chest belt. However, you can
also use the contact HR grips located just below the console on the U916
handlebars or on the ends of the handlebars on both the U916 and the
R916 bikes.
If you are using the telemetry HR method, put the chest strap on.
Remember to wet the electrodes underneath the chest strap. The console
must detect a heart rate signal to allow selection of the HR Zone Trainer
program.
If you will be using contact HR, then place your hands on the contact HR
grips below the console on the U916 handlebars or on the ends of the
handlebars on both the U916 and the R916 bikes.
2. Press the [HR ZONE TRAINER] key. The message, “HR ZONE TRAINER”,
will be displayed on the text line with the workout profile in the lower
display. Press [ENTER] to accept.
3. The console will then display “Checking for HR. Need HR belt or Hold HR
sensors”. When the console detects a valid signal it will then proceed to
the next step.
4. The console will display “ENTER WEIGHT - LBS” (or “ENTER WEIGHT
- KG” if in Metric mode). Enter your weight using the numeric keypad and
press [ENTER]. Or, press [ENTER] to accept the default value.
Your weight is used to calculate the number of calories burned for
each minute of exercise and the total number of calories burned for the
exercise session.
