The C936i lets the user choose between six programs. This section provides
information about the special features and functions of the treadmill’s programs
and how to best utilize the:
• SmartRate
®
feature • Manual program
• Cross Country program • Interval program
• Weight Loss program • Random program
• Heart Rate program
Note: To choose a program (other than Manual), begin at the Precor banner
and press ENTER. User-friendly prompts guide the user through the program
selections. Refer to
Quick Steps to Working Out
on page 37.
THE HEART RATE FEATURE
To use the heart rate features you must wear the chest strap while working out
unless you are using the C936i with the touch-sensitive handrail grips. The chest
strap transmits your heart rate signal to the receiver installed in the display con-
sole. The signal appears as a number in the heart rate display. This lets you monitor
your heart rate even when the display is presenting other workout statistics.
USING THE SMARTRATE
®
FEATURE
Add the benefit of SmartRate
®
to every program on the treadmill. Using SmartRate
®
as a visual cue helps a user adjust their exercise routine to suit specific needs.
SmartRate
®
simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. A user
doesn’t have to stop concentrating on a workout to find a pulse. It is displayed
right in front of them along with the SmartRate
®
zone. Once a user begins a
workout, a blinking segment in the bar graph appears on the left of the display,
if a user entered an age during the Setup prompts. The segment blinks in time
with the user’s pulse and highlights the zone that their heart rate is in: Weight
Loss or Cardiovascular.
Important: Access to SmartRate
®
is only available when the person exercising
wears a chest strap or uses the touch-sensitive grips on the handrails. (The
chest strap is separate purchase option.) The SmartRate
®
indicator lights do not
appear when QUICKSTART is used to select a program.
For the ideal “weight loss” range, a user’s heart rate should be between 55% and
70% of his or her maximum aerobic heart rate. It should never exceed 85% of his
or her maximum aerobic heart rate or go above the user’s target zone. Refer to
Diagram 22 for the appropriate target zone.
