C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Programmable Options on the C764 Climber These next few pages provide information that lets you customize the C764 for your Club. It is not information that your customer needs to see.

C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N To design a custom course, take the following steps: 1. Check to see that the climber is turned ON. If it is turned OFF, turn it ON using the ON/OFF power switch. This switch is located near the power cable. 2. The initial start-up prompt, “PRESS ENTER FOR PROGRAMS OR PRESS QUICKSTART” appears. 3. Access the custom course mode by pressing and holding all three CHANGE keys simultaneously. 4.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N 8. Initially, the course profile appears as a flat line four cells high. However, if the course has been previously modified and saved into the climber’s memory, that custom course profile appears instead. Your position on the course is indicated by a blinking cell. Any changes that you make occur only in that column. Begin modifying the course profile one cell at a time using the ▼ or ▲ key.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Using the C764 Climber The C764 Climber is designed so users can work out with minimal instruction or training. The directions on the console and the prompts on the display will guide a user through the entire workout session. Before the climber is used, however, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with it so it will be used safely and effectively.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N As you exercise, the electronic console provides motivation and presents constant feedback about your progress. An explanation of each feature on the C764 console follows Diagram 14 . Diagram 14 R C764 www.precor.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N WORK LEVEL/SPEED: The ▼ or ▲ keys change the “work level” by changing the step rate which increases/decreases the degree of effort. You decrease the step rate (causing the foot pedals to travel slower ) and increase the resistance when you press the ▼ key. The opposite occurs when you press the ▲ key. ENTER: When you turn ON the climber, several prompts appear before you start your workout.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N SMARTRATE® (C764 only) When the Precor optional heart rate receiver has been properly installed and the user wears the POLAR® chest strap or holds onto the heart rate grips, a blinking segment in the bar graph appears at the bottom of the display. If the user entered an accurate age (completed during the setup prompts), the blinking segment shows the zone that the user’s heart rate is in: either Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N OFF: If you move the indicator light to OFF using the CHANGE key, no information is displayed for that column. CALORIES: Provides the cumulative number of calories burned. Note: The numbers that appear in the CALORIES and CALORIES PER MINUTE displays are weight-dependent. During the start-up prompts, entering a weight close to your actual body weight will improve the accuracy of the numbers that appear in these displays.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Working Out on the C764 Climber This section explains how to exercise on the climber and introduces you to certain features that you might use during your workout. PAUSING DURING YOUR WORKOUT The C764 climber has a two-minute, auto-pause feature that occurs when you step off the climber.
C O M M E R C I A L P Diagram 15 Target zones. R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N HEART RATE TARGET ZONES 200 190 YOUR HEART RATE 180 170 160 150 REC OMM END 140 130 120 RECO MME ED C 100 ARD NDED IOVA SCU WEIG HT LO LAR 90 ZON E MAX.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N • Know your heart rate (pulse) and your physician-recommended heart rate target zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several physiological factors and may not correspond directly with the zone shown in Diagram 15. • You should not use the heart rate interactive capabilities (SmartRate) if you are taking any medications that either speed up or slow down your heart rate.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Other aspects of the heart rate option are discussed below: Detecting a Heart Beat It may take several seconds for the heart rate receiver to detect a number of valid heartbeats. Once it does, the user’s heart rate appears in the Heart Rate display.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N EXERCISING ON THE C764 CLIMBER The C764 comes with ten preprogrammed courses. These courses differ in the “terrain” covered. All ten preprogrammed C764 courses can be performed at any of the work levels. To select the work level appropriate for your level of fitness, start with level 1 (beginner exercise or warm-up). In addition to the C764 preprogrammed courses, you can choose one of two custom courses that the club has designed.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N 5. At the “SELECT TIME” prompt, specify the duration of your workout using the ▼ or ▲ keys. Press ENTER when the correct time is displayed. The length of time allowed for a workout can be limited by Using the Club Custom Mode discussed on page 9. When specifying a workout time, you can choose any time up to, but not longer than, this limit.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N C764 Courses The C764 lets users choose between ten preprogrammed courses. This section provides information about the special features and functions of the C764 courses. USING MANUAL MODE AND THE QUICKSTART KEY In addition to choosing a preprogrammed, random, interval, or custom course, you can choose manual mode. Manual mode lets you control your work level.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N CHANGING THE INTERVAL COURSE PROFILE ON THE C764 The interval courses on the C764 climber allows a user to set rest and work intervals according to their training regimen. A user sets the work level for the first rest and work interval (first two columns of the course) and the software takes over from there, repeating the intervals throughout the course until the time limit runs out or the user steps off the climber.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Maintenance Because of its advanced design, the C764 climber requires little maintenance beyond periodic cleaning, which is explained in this section. Keep in mind that, as owner of this machine, you are solely responsible for its maintenance. DANGER — To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the unit from its power source before cleaning it or performing any maintenance tasks.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N STORING THE POLAR® CHEST STRAP Store the chest strap transmitter in a place where dust and dirt cannot accumulate on it such as, a closet or drawer. Be sure to keep the chest strap protected from extremes in temperature. Do not store it in an area that may be exposed to temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Special Forms CUSTOM COURSE GRID FOR THE C764 CLIMBER Use the blank grid below to help you design your own custom courses. To maintain the original blank grid, be sure to make a working copy. After you program the course into the C764’s memory, it might be helpful to write the program number above the grid to remind you what Custom Course program number is associated with the course profile.
