Using the QUICK START™ Feature
The words “quick start” imply that you can start your workout immediately. Once you insert the
magnetic safety key and attach the safety clip to your clothing, the QUICK START feature on the
M9.21i or M9.21si treadmill allows you to bypass the setup prompts and access manual mode. The
weight setting defaults to 150 pounds (68 kg) so all calorie calculations and their associated
displays are based on a body weight of 150 pounds (68 kg). The Smart Rate display will not work
when you use the QUICK START key.
Note: Any prompts that appear after the “SELECT COURSE” prompt require your input before you
can proceed. You can press QUICK START at any prompt and access manual mode features.
However, QUICK START is disabled once you enter a program and begin your workout.
Retrieving the Previous Workout Program
To retrieve the previous workout program, simply tap the ENTER key successively three times
while the prompt “ENTER WEIGHT” is being displayed. Note that if someone else has exercised on
the treadmill after your workout, whatever program he or she used will be the one that is restored
from memory.
Pausing Your Workout
You can pause at any time during your workout. Use this feature to rest or take a short break. To
pause while working out, press the STOP key. The running belt stops. Remove the safety key clip
and straddle the running belt so that you can safely step off the treadmill. Your workout statistics
freeze and remain displayed on the console until you resume your workout.
Do not rely on the Pause feature as a way to end your workout. If you wish to end your workout,
follow the instructions in
Ending Your Workout.
To resume your workout, straddle the running belt, attach the safety key clip to your clothing,
press the SPEED
▲
key to start the running belt, hold the handrail, and step onto the running belt
while the speed is at or below 1 mph. Your workout statistics continue from where you left off.
Continue to press the SPEED
▲
key, to increase the speed to a comfortable level. Once you are
comfortable with the walking or running speed, you can remove your hands from the handrail.
Cooling Down After a Workout
Cooling down after your workout is important because it helps reduce muscle stiffness and
soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. Cooling down for at least
3 minutes helps provide a smooth transition that allows your heart rate to return to its normal
(non-exercising) state.
You can cool down after a workout by accessing Manual mode (MAN’L). Tapping STOP twice in
quick succession accesses MAN’L mode from the preprogrammed courses (M9.21si only).
Ending Your Workout
To end your workout, take the following steps:
1.
Hold onto the handrail and press the STOP key or press the SPEED
▼
key until the running
belt slows to a gradual stop. The displays on the console freeze which lets you review your
workout statistics.
2.
Continue to press STOP (HOLD TO RESET) for a few more seconds to add your workout
statistics to the cumulative totals and return to the Precor banner.
3.
Straddle the running belt and step off the treadmill.
4.
To prevent unauthorized use, remove the magnetic safety key from inside the electronic
console and store it in a safe place. Turn OFF the treadmill.
CAUTION: Hold onto the handrails when you
press QUICK START. The running belt starts
automatically at 1 mph after the display scrolls
the message “Belt Starting 3, 2, 1,..”
