• pressing Enter at the Precor banner. This causes the C954 or C956 to dis-
play several Setup prompts. At the course prompt, you select #1 — Manual
course.
The Manual course profile appears as a flat line. Use the ▼▲ keys or the numeric
keys to adjust the incline or speed. (See pages 30 and 31 for more information on
the different key’s function.) As you proceed with your workout, a blinking cell
represents your position on the course.
C956 TRACK COURSE
The C956 Track course presents an oval as the course profile. The “lap” count ap-
pears on the inside of the oval and a blinking segment indicates your position on the
track. One loop around the track represents 440 yards (0.25 miles) or 400 meters.
You can continue (counterclockwise) around the track for the duration of the course
(which can be limited by the club). The lap count that appears represents the
number of laps completed, plus the one that your on.
C956 PREPROGRAMMED COURSES
In the C956 preprogrammed courses, the incline is predetermined. You can make
changes to the running belt speed (numeric keys or Speed ▼▲ keys) throughout the
course and even the preset incline can be overridden using the Incline ▲▼ keys or
the numeric keys.
C956 INTERVAL COURSE
The 3 interval courses on the C956 let you select the rest and work intervals
according to your training regimen. In the 1-3 interval course, each rest interval is
followed by 3 work intervals. In the 1-2 interval course, each rest interval is fol-
lowed by 2 work intervals. In the 1-1 interval course, each rest interval is followed
by 1 work interval. You set the incline and speed for the first rest and work interval
and the software repeats the intervals throughout the course. At any point during
the workout, you can change the settings of the current interval by simply press-
ing the ▼▲ or number keys. The software remembers the new settings and ap-
plies it to the appropriate rest or work interval.
Important: If you entered your Age during the Setup prompts and wear the POLAR
®
chest strap or utilize the “touch” heart rate, you can adjust the rest or work intervals to
keep your heart rate in its recommended zone. For the weight loss mode, try to
maintain your heart rate at the lower end (55% of maximum heart rate) while in the
“rest” intervals and keep it at 70% of maximum heart rate while in the “work” intervals.
