USING THE SAFETY FEATURES
Security Lock: A security key can be purchased from your dealer and is
optional equipment that can help prevent unauthorized use. It is located near the
ON/OFF switch and must be inserted and locked into position before power can
be supplied to the treadmill. You can remove the security key, during non-
business hours when the treadmill is not being used, and store it in a safe place
to prevent unauthorized use.
The three-position safety switch lets the user stop the running belt in an
emergency situation. In preparing for a workout, align the safety switch with the
green dot and clip the safety switch cord to clothing at the waistline before you
step onto the running belt. By taking this precaution, a tug on the safety switch
cord trips the safety switch and slows the running belt to a safe stop.
Important: Always attach the safety switch cord to your clothing before each
workout. Use the clip provided on the end of the cord. Be sure that the safety
switch is positioned at the green dot before working out.
If the safety switch trips while you are working out, the treadmill retains your
workout statistics. Realign the safety switch at the green dot and press the
SPEED key to return to the desired speed.
UNDERSTANDING THE ELECTRONIC CONSOLE
Once the treadmill is assembled, it is ready to use. There are no complex
instructions to follow or mandatory programming steps required to operate the
treadmill. Choose either the Quick Start feature which lets you immediately start
the Manual program, or the Setup Mode which prompts you for more specific
information. On the C964i, you can also select one of several workout programs.
When you use the Precor Heart Rate Option, the Smart Rate
TM
feature provides
visual aids regarding your heart rate. The Precor chest strap that you wear
transmits a signal which is picked up by the software and displayed numerically
(when the Heart Rate indicator is lit) and, on the C964i, graphically along the
bottom of the left window display. The blinking segment helps you maintain your
heart rate in the weight loss or cardiovascular zones.
Informative messages also scroll across the display. These messages request
information and action, or explain problems that may arise while you are using
the treadmill. Some problems you can solve (see Troubleshooting Heart Rate
Error Messages). Other problems require a qualified service technician.
