Precor M9.25i owner manual Using Your Custom Course

CAUTION: The treadmill may automatically change incline when you enter a program. Stay clear of the lift mechanism and hood area until the treadmill has completed its recalibration.

6.As you work out through the 8-mile course, you can continue to change the incline by using the INCLINE ▼▲ keys to change the cell that is blinking. You cannot “go back” to a cell once you move beyond it. However, you can pause by pressing STOP. Prompts appear and scroll across the display:

•To save your changes and quit — press ENTER. This saves the course profile up to the point (mile or kilometer) where you stopped and resets any previous course profile record to zero. A confirming message scrolls across the display.

Note: If an existing course profile extended beyond the cell where you stopped, it will be discarded.

•To discard changes and quit — press Hold to Reset for more than 5 seconds. This discards the changes you made to the course profile.

Note: If you were “writing over” an existing course profile, that course is restored.

•To continue — press Speed ▲ to start the running belt and let you continue from where you left off. Be sure to hold onto the handrail before pressing this key.

7.If you continue to customize the course profile for the maximum distance of 8 miles, a prompt appears and scrolls across the display explaining that you have reached the end of the course. The running belt stops, the incline returns to 0%, and prompts appear request- ing that you save or discard your changes.

8.To save your changes, press ENTER. To discard your changes, press STOP for more than 4 seconds. To use your custom course, refer to the instructions in Using a Custom Course.

When you have saved or discarded your custom course changes, you can work out and use the same course over and over by entering the associated user I.D. at the user I.D. prompt and pressing QUICK START. The M9.25i can store two custom courses and their associated speeds and inclines per user I.D.

Using Your Custom Course

The two custom courses (programs “8” and “9”) that are available with each user I.D., let you preset the incline in 0.1 mile segments along a specific course that can be up to 8 miles in length.

Note: Prior to using a custom course, you must create it by following the steps found in the previous section, Creating Custom Courses.

To use a custom course, follow steps 1 through 5 in the previous section, Creating Custom Courses, and then take the following steps:

1.At the “Use Course” prompt, press ENTER. The course profile appears in the display.

Note: The course profile appears in 0.01 mile segments which is different from the 0.1 cells that appear in the customizing course mode. However, all incline changes made to the course profile in the custom course mode are still intact and take effect at the distance specified.

2.Hold onto the handrail and press the Speed ▲ key. Step onto the running belt while the speed is at or below 1 mph and begin walking. Continue to press the Speed ▲ key until you are comfortable with the pace. When you are comfortable with the speed of the running belt, you can let go of the handrail.

Note: During your workout, you cannot change the incline, but you can change the speed by pressing the Speed ▼▲ keys. To pause during your workout session before finishing the selected program, press the STOP key. The displays on the console freeze. See Pausing Your Workout or Ending Your Workout for more information.

3.When the end of the course profile appears, you are nearing the end of your workout session. Once the session ends, your workout statistics are saved. The software begins an automatic cool-down period and adds your workout statistics to the cumulative totals. For more information, refer to Cooling Down After Your Workout.

Note: Use any▼ or ▲ keys to change the speed and incline during your cool-down period. During this cool-down period, the workout statistics continue to appear.
