C956i CUSTOM PROGRAMS
Two custom programs exist on the C956i. The second custom program is avail-
able only if the Fitness Test is disabled. The club can preset the incline on these
programs. Refer to
Club Information
.
RANDOM PROGRAM
The Random program is similar to the preset incline programs. The maximum
range that the incline can be changed is fixed at plus or minus 4%. Every time a
user chooses this program, the program profile changes.
C956i HEART RATE PROGRAM
Once you set your target heart rate and the running belt’s speed, the C956i Heart
Rate program monitors your heart rate and automatically maintains it within a few

Note: If your heart rate cannot be detected (transmitted through the
chest strap or touch-sensitive grips ), three dashes or the letters “HR” blink

corresponds to your heart rate appears.
The treadmill provides a 3-minute warm-up period before entering the Heart
Rate program. During this time, you may make changes to the incline by
using the numeric keypad or INCLINE ▲▼ keys. Use the SPEED ▼▲ keys
to set the running belt’s speed.
Note: If your heart rate moves into the target zone for your age during the
3-minute warm-up period, the Heart Rate Program begins concurrently.
After the warm-up period, the treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to
