The Precor Heart Rate Interactive System is based on research conducted at the
world-renowned Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research.
Important: Any program, that you wish to make heart rate interactive, must be
used in conjunction with the Precor Heart Rate Option. The receiver must be
installed in the console and a compatible chest strap must be worn by the user.
See Obtaining Service on the inside front cover.
Before using the C964i Heart Rate Course or any program where you wish to
display your heart rate, take time to read the following guidelines.
Consult with your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise. Do
not use the C964i Heart Rate Course until authorized by your physician.
Slow down and stop the workout immediately if you experience any pain or
abnormal symptoms.
Gently stretch you lower body and back before and after the course to help
prevent stiffness or soreness.
Know your heart rate (pulse) and your physician-recommended heart rate
training zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several physiological
factors and may not correspond directly with the tables provided.
You should not use the C964i Heart Rate Course if you are taking any
medications that either speed up or slow down your heart rate.
After putting on the chest strap, turn the treadmill ON and position yourself
on the running belt for a minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the treadmill
to acknowledge the presence of the transmitter.
While using the chest strap, face the electronic console and stay within 3 feet
of it. If you move outside of the 3-foot range, the receiver might have difficulty
picking up your heart rate signal.
A warm-up and cool-down period has been incorporated into the C964i
Heart Rate Course.
Note: On the C962i, the Manual course is the only course available. It can
be made heart rate interactive if the Precor Heart Rate Option is installed and
the chest strap worn by the user. It is up to the user to monitor his or her heart
rate at the appropriate beats per minute. Use the CHANGE key to highlight
HEART RATE so it can appear on the display.
