HINTS AND TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED

The following hints and tips will assist in training your users to maximize the fitness benefits of your Star Trac StairMill.
■ Step at a rate that feels comfortable and most natural, yet is sufficient to achieve a good cardio workout.
■ Try different stepping rhythms. In manual operation, vary your stepping speed from slow to fast, then back to slow. As you
become more comfortable with your StairMill, try stepping faster, varying the difficulty LEVEL, or using the preset programs.
■ Watch the g raphic d isplay to anticipate changes in difficulty. When you use the preset programs, the display shows
changes in difficulty as tall or short columns.

VIEWING WORKOUT DATA DURING A PROGRAM
Workout data is shown in three windows on the StairMill Display Panel: the Information Window (located at the top of the Display Panel)
and the upper and lower data information windows (located inside the motivational track, to the right of the graphic display).
Information shown in the Information Window during a workout includes elapsed time, number of floors climbed, and heart rate (HR),
when in use. After the workout is complete, workout summary information is shown in the Information Window.
The information window also displays important instructions and cues throughout the workout.
The upper and lower data information windows also display information during a workout.
To view workout data during your workout:
1. Press the upper data information Window SCROLL key to view the following workout data (the current data display is
indicated by an LED next to the parameter name):
■ CALORIES - Shows your aggregate caloric expenditure thus far in your workout.
■ CAL/HR - Shows your current caloric expenditure per hour based on your current difficulty level and stepping rate.
■ WATTS - Shows your current watts expenditure at that specific time during your workout.
2. Press the lower data information Window SCROLL key to view the following workout data (the current data display is indicated
by an LED next to the parameter name):
■ DISTANCE - Shows the total number of vertical feet or meters you have climbed thus far.
■ SPEED - Shows the speed at which you are currently stepping, in steps-per-minute.
■ METS - Shows your current METS expenditure at that specific time during your workout.
PAUSE MODE
If you come to a complete stop during your workout (SPM is less than 10), the StairMill will enter a “pause” mode. To continue your work-
out, begin stepping before the “pause” timer expires and your workout data will not be lost.
COOLDOWN CYCLE
Once you have completed your workout, the StairMill enters a two-minute Cooldown cycle.
NOTE: The StairMill software is programmed to properly decrease difficulty level to provide a cooldown.
To operate the StairMill during cooldown:
1. You can adjust the difficulty LEVEL during Cooldown.

■ Use the keys to enter a difficulty LEVEL (from 1 to 20); or press the or key, as desired, to increase or
decrease the difficulty LEVEL in 1 unit increments.
■ When the desired difficulty LEVEL has been entered by using the keys, press the key to accept the displayed
LEVEL.
2. When the cooldown cycle ends, your workout summary displays in the information window. If you wish to exit the cooldown
cycle before it ends automatically, stop stepping.
USING THE PERSONAL FAN

The Star Trac StairMill is equipped with a built-in personal fan to increase your comfort during a workout. You can control the fan
speed during your workout.
To operate the personal fan:
■ Press the key, as necessary, to cycle the personal fan from OFF to HIGH to LOW to OFF. An LED indicator lights to
show the currently selected fan speed.
■ The fan remains set at the set speed if you pause your program, unless your workout was less than two minutes in length.
■ The fan turns off automatically if you exit your workout, or when you complete your workout program.
■ The fan turns off automatically if you pause your program and the time elapsed is less than two minutes.

HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your work-
out is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring
your heart rate is easy with the Star Trac StairMill. You
may use a heart rate strap, or you can simply grasp the
silver contact heart rate grips. Your goal will be to keep your To calculate your training zone, use the following formulas:
exercise heart rate between 60 and 90 percent of the (theoretical max HR = 220 - Age)

Furthermore, the heart rate system is not for medical use.
CONTACT HEART RATE MONITORING

You may use the heart rate contact grips to automatically check your heart rate while stepping. Just follow these steps.
1. Grasp the stainless steel heart rate contact grips; you do not have to squeeze tightly.
■ When the heart rate contact grips are grasped, the will display and an audible “beep” will sound to indicate that a heart
rate has been detected.
2. It may take from 30 to 60 seconds for the heart rate system to acquire and display your heart rate.
3. When your heart rate has been acquired, the indicator and your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) displays in the
HEART RATE field of the Information Window.
4. Release the Heart Rate grips if you wish to remove your heart rate reading from the display.
CHEST STRAP HEART RATE MONITORING

You may use the heart rate strap to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps:
1. Before beginning your workout, or during a pause, moisten the back of the transmitter on the heart rate strap. Place the strap
snugly around your chest with the transmitter resting directly over your sternum.
2. When your heart rate has been acquired, the indicator and your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) display in the HEART
RATE field of the Information Window.
3. Remove the heart rate strap if you wish to remove your heart rate reading from the display.
NOTE: The performance of the transmitter may be affected by body types, body oils, metal in clothing, and outside electrical
interference. Always be sure that the transmitter and skin are in good contact. Avoid operating other electrical equipment near your
StairMill when you use the heart rate strap.
