Note: If your heart rate cannot be detected or no heart rate information is
transmitted for more than 20 seconds, the incline returns to 0% and a
message appears stating that no heart rate signal has been detected.
The treadmill provides a 3-minute warm-up period before entering the actual
Heart Rate Course. During this time, you need to make any changes to the
target heart rate by using the INCLINE or keys. Use the SPEED or
keys to set the running belt’s speed.
After the warm-up period, the treadmill automatically adjusts the incline to
keep your heart rate close to the selected target. Check the Smart Rate
display on the C964i to see if you are in your preferred zone (cardiovascular
or weight loss).
Note: You can change your heart rate or speed anytime during a workout,
but doing so affects the treadmill’s ability to maintain your target heart rate.
It takes time for the treadmill to readjust the incline so that your heart rate
remains on target.
To view your heart rate’s target percent zone and beats per minute, briefly
press an INCLINE or key. To change the heart rate, press and hold the
INCLINE or key.
Important: A warning message will appear if you go above your maximum
recommended heart rate target zone. Heed the warning and get permission
from your personal physician before working out above the maximum
recommended zone for your age and fitness level.
When you reach the time limit, a cool-down period begins. The running belt
slows to 3 mph (4.8 kph) and the incline returns to 0% incline. You can
override the speed and incline by pressing the or keys.
Note: The speed remains constant, if you were at or below 1 mph (1.6 kph).
During your cool down, the displays on the console continue to appear. The
TIME display counts down from five minutes so you know how long you have
been in the cool-down period. Refer to Cooling Down After Your Workout.
To end a cool-down period before the five minutes elapse, hold onto the
handrail and press STOP.
When the running belt comes to a complete stop, straddle the running belt,
remove the safety clip from your clothing, and step off the treadmill if you have
finished your workout.
