AMT Features  
The AMT is equipped with certain items that, when used properly, help  
sustain an enjoyable workout. These items include:  
Using the Handrails  
To maintain your balance, always grasp a handrail. Hold on to a  
handrail when you step on or off the foot plates and when you use the  
keypads.  
• Self-powered features  
Touch-sensitive handlebar grips  
• Moving handlebars for a total body workout  
To learn more about the touch-sensitive handlebar grips, refer to Heart  
Rate Features.  
Important: Before exercising, review the Important Safety  
Instructions found at the beginning of this manual.  
Moving Handlebars Support the Total  
Body Workout  
Self-Powered Features  
The handlebars on the AMT provide an upper-body workout which  
helps increase cardiovascular fitness. By adding the total body  
movement to your cross training workout, you are actually increasing  
your work effort and enhancing your overall fitness level.  
The AMT does not require an electrical power connection. It has an  
internal battery that is recharged every time you exercise for a  
reasonable period of time. Moving the foot plates causes the Precor  
banner to appear. You can press QUICKSTART or select a program to  
begin exercising. For more information, refer to Workout Options.  
If you do not move the foot plates, then a 30-second shutdown  
process begins. Dots appear in the center display and all key presses  
are ignored. If no foot plate movement is detected, the dots steadily  
disappear as the countdown continues.  
To resume exercising where you left off, move the foot plates before  
the dots disappear from the display.

Know your heart rate and your physician-recommended heart rate  
target zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several  
physiological factors and may not correspond directly with  
Diagram 1.  
Your Age  
Diagram 1: Heart rate target zones  
The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is:  
(220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent.  
Always face forward on the AMT and use the stationary  
handlebars for balance.  
For example:  
Maintain a consistent stride rate while exercising. Find a  
comfortable stride rate above 56 strides per minute. Dropping  
below the minimum strides per minute causes the AMT to shut  
down.  
Low range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 55%  
High range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 85%  
Refer to Table 1 in Using SmartRate.  
User’s Reference Manual: Heart Rate Features

After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for a  
minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the receiver in the console to  
recognize the signal from the chest strap.  
Using the Heart Rate  
Touch-Sensitive Handlebar Grips  
While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive handlebar grips  
for a minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart rate to the  
display. Refer to Diagram 2.  
If three dashes (— — —) appear on the display, the AMT is detecting  
a signal, but has not yet determined your heart rate. Make sure the  
chest strap is positioned properly around your chest and against  
your skin.  
If you prefer to use the touch-sensitive handlebar grips, grasp both  
and wait five to ten seconds. Make sure both hands are moist (not  
dry).  
When a signal is detected, a number flashes in the HEART RATE  
display and indicates your heart rate.  
Touch-sensitive  
handlebar grips  
Diagram 2: Touch-sensitive handlebar grips  
Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration provides  
enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver inside the  
display console. However, some people, because of body chemistry  
or erratic heart beats, cannot use the touch-sensitive handlebar grips  
on the AMT. A chest strap may provide better results.  
Important: While exercising, do not wear a chest strap and grasp the  
touch-sensitive handlebar grips at the same time. Using both features  
may cause erratic heart rate readings.

Important: To use the SmartRate feature, you must enter your age  
during the setup phase of your exercise session.  
The 10 LEDs in the SmartRate display are color-coded. Pulsating  
orange LEDs indicate you are exercising outside the recommended  
heart rate target zone. Green LEDs indicate when you are exercising  
within the recommended fat burn or cardio fitness zones.

Table 1 shows the percents used in calculating the heart rate target  
zones. While your heart rate remains within these zones, the  
corresponding light blinks and provide a visual cue.  
The SmartRate indicator lights do not blink when:  
You do not wear or improperly position the chest strap. Or, you fail  
to grasp both touch-sensitive handlebar grips for five to ten  
seconds.  
The calculation used to determine your maximum aerobic heart rate is  
(220 minus your age). When you multiply it by the percent indicated in  
Table 1, you can understand the relationship between the pulsating  
LED and your target heart rate.  
You do not enter your age when prompted after you select a  
program.  
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your  
maximum aerobic heart rate or go above PEAK. If it does,  
immediately reduce your strides per minute or adjust the  
resistance to return your heart rate to your physician-  
recommended target zone.  
For example, pressing QUICKSTART at the Precor banner causes  
the Manual Program to begin. Your age has not been entered and  
is considered a null value. An LED does not blink in the SmartRate  
display because the appropriate calculations have not been made.  
Note: To remedy this situation after pressing QUICKSTART, press  
MANUAL and then OK. Follow the prompts to enter your weight  
and age.

Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate  
Heart Rate Analysis  
Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or touch-  
sensitive handlebar grips, the display provides a heart rate analysis  
after the workout summary.  
A heart rate receiver is an integral part of the display so you can  
monitor your heart rate while exercising. If you wear a chest strap or  
grasp both touch-sensitive handlebar grips, your heart rate (beats per  
minute) appears on the display.  
Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum heart rate  
achieved during your workout. A third display appears, if you entered  
your age, and indicates the amount of time your heart rate remained  
between the target zones shown.  
workouts with varying levels of intensity. It provides many workout  
details that include the appropriate target heart rate.  
The AMT includes a heart rate program that lets you exercise based  
on a specified target heart rate. As you exercise, the program monitors  
your heart rate and automatically maintains it within a few beats per  
minute of your selected target. To use this program, press the  
PROGRAMS - HEART RATE key. For more information, refer to  
Programs.  
The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate signal is  
received while exercising. If you use the chest strap, the average heart  
rate will be more accurate than if you occasionally grasp the touch-  
sensitive handlebar grips.

Programs  
This section describes the programs available on the AMT. Use this  
section as a reference tool to better understand each program’s  
purpose.  
Program Tips  
While exercising, you need to move the foot plates constantly.  
Stopping any movement causes the AMT to shut down to  
conserve battery power. START CLIMBING appears on the  
display and the AMT displays a 30-second countdown before it  
shuts off. If you move the foot plates during the countdown period,  
you can resume exercising where you left off.  
Choosing a Program  
Choosing a program depends on your goals. If you are a beginner or  
returning to regular exercise, you can start a cardio-conditioning  
program to slowly return your body to a comfortable level of exercise.  
If you have been exercising and feel that you have an intermediate or  
advanced fitness level, you probably have established goals. The  
fitness routines and advice from the experts.  
Begin at the Precor banner and choose a program by pressing a  
PROGRAMS key or QUICKSTART. Refer to Workout Options.  
A blinking column indicates your position as you progress through  
a program.  
Prior to choosing a program, you may press the UNITS/LANG. key  
to access units of measure or language settings. After pressing  
OK to confirm new settings, you must select a program within five  
seconds for the changes to become effective. Refer to Setting  
Display Preferences Before Exercising.  
Most of the exercise choices on the AMT are preprogrammed with the  
option to override the suggested levels by using the RESISTANCE  
arrow keys. An exception to this rule is the Heart Rate Program.  
If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your stride rate or  
adjust the resistance level by using the RESISTANCE arrow keys to  
override each upcoming segment in the program profile. If you use the  
arrow keys, the profile changes accordingly.  
To use the SmartRate feature, you need to specify your age and  
wear a chest strap or hold on to the touch-sensitive handlebar  
grips. For more information, refer to Changing Your Workout  
Display Options.  
The club can set limits on workout, pause, and cool-down times.  
Check with your club or facility manager to learn if any club limits

Basic HRC Program Tips  
Basic HRC Program  
HEART  
RATE  
The Basic HRC Program enhances your overall cardiovascular fitness  
levels to help you achieve your weight loss and fitness goals. Read  
through the following tips before selecting the Basic HRC Program.  
These tips provide general information regarding how the program  
functions. For more information and exercise suggestions, refer to the  
The Basic Heart Rate Control Program lets you set a target for your  
heart rate. The program adjusts the resistance to maintain your heart  
rate within two beats per minute of the target heart rate while you  
exercise. To use this program, you must enter your age and wear a  
chest strap so your heart rate can be monitored throughout the  
session.  
Important: Maintain a consistent stride rate above 56 strides per  
minute. Automatic adjustments to the resistance cannot take place if  
you drop below the minimum power requirements.  
Important: Consult your physician to determine the appropriate  
target heart rate for your age and fitness level. If your physician  
recommends a different target heart rate than the one that appears on  
the display, use the navigational arrow keys to change the target heart  
rate once you finish the warm-up period. Do not exercise over the  
recommended range.  
The program provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this  
time, you may change the resistance, but you cannot change the  
goal setting.  
Note: When your target heart rate is achieved or the 3-minute  
period elapses, the warm-up period ends and the program begins  
at which point, you may change to a distance or calorie goal.  
The program automatically adjusts the resistance to keep your  
heart rate at the selected target. After the warm-up period,  
pressing the RESISTANCE arrow keys no longer affects the  
resistance levels. Check the SmartRate display to see if you are  
maintaining your preferred zone. Check the HEART RATE display  
to determine your actual heart rate. For information about  
understanding your target heart rate, refer to Heart Rate Features.
