• The treadmill provides a 3-minute warm-up period before entering the Fitness Test.
• After the warm-up period, the treadmill automatically adjusts the running belt
and treadmill incline according to the Gerkin protocol for this Fitness Test.
The Fitness Test ends if any one of the following occurs:
• you press the STOP button.
• your heart rate rises above the maximum allowable heart rate (220 minus
your age) and remains there for more than 15 seconds. Refer to Diagram 23.
• your heart rate cannot be detected or is no longer being transmitted.
• you complete the test.
RANDOM PROGRAM
The C996i Random program is similar to the preset programs in that it’s incline is
preset. However, the differences include, a “0%” incline for the first segment
(column) and a maximum program incline of 6%. The maximum range that the
incline can be changed from one segment to the next is fixed at plus or minus
3%. Every time a user chooses this program, the program profile changes.
HEART RATE PROGRAM
Once you set your target heart rate and the running belt’s speed, the Heart Rate
Program monitors your heart rate and automatically maintains it within a few
beats per minute (bpm) of the selected target. Blinking lights on the SmartRate
®
bar graph appear to show the “zone” that you are in.
Note: For the C996i to detect a heart rate, the user must wear the POLAR
®
chest
strap or hold onto the touch-sensitive grips on the handrail. The POLAR
®
chest
strap is optional equipment that can be purchased from your dealer.
To use the Heart Rate Program follow the steps found in Quick Steps to Working
Out (page 35) and choose the appropriate program number at the program prompt.
(Age must be entered during the Setup prompts.) Once you have finished answer-
ing the remaining Setup prompts, the following occurs:
• The software verifies that it detects a heart rate signal. You need to press the
SPEED ▲ key to begin your workout.
Note: If your heart rate cannot be detected (or transmitted through the
POLAR
®
chest strap or touch-sensitive grips), the letters “HR” blink in the
heart rate display. Once a heart rate is detected the number that corresponds
to your heart rate appears.
