SELECT key RESET key Keypad keys PROGRAMMING TIPS Certain aspects of the C932 are hidden and can only be accessed using special key presses. To avoid unauthorized use, certain rules apply. See Diagram 16.
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 SELECTING THE LANGUAGE Display prompts can appear in English, German, Spanish, French, Dutch, or Portuguese. Use the ▼▲ keys to display your preference and press SELECT. DETERMINING THE UNITS OF MEASURE The C932 can display units of measure in either U.S. Standard (miles, miles per hour) or Metric (kilometers, kilometers per hour). When the treadmill is shipped from the factory it is set to display U.S. Standard units of measure.
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 DETERMINING THE CLUB SPEED LIMIT You can set a maximum speed for the treadmill. This limits how fast the running belt moves and, consequently, how many adjustments a user can make to the treadmill’s speed. The speed is displayed in miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (kph) depending upon the units of measure (U.S. standard or Metric) that are selected.
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 SETTING A COOL DOWN TIME LIMIT You can set a limit to the duration of a user’s cool down time in one-minute increments. It is highly recommended, in most workout literature, that a user cool down for at least three minutes to allow their heart rate to return to a “normal,” non-exercising state.
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 Press SELECT once again and the Error Log appears. The most recent error log appears first and scrolls across the display. If the words, NO ERRORS appear, no errors have been recorded. Up to ten error codes can be recorded and viewed in the following format.
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 The C932 Display The C932 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 treadmill is used, however, we recommend that you, as club owner or manager, familiarize yourself with it so you can instruct your customers to use it 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 The SmartRate® and Heart Rate system is standard equipment. The heart rate receiver is factory-installed in the display console. To actively view the SmartRate® and heart rate displays, a user must wear a POLAR® chest strap, face the display console, enter his or her age (during the Setup prompts), and begin a course.
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 150 LB (68 KG): Acceptable weight entries range from 1 through 999 (pounds or kilograms). Change the number using the ▼ and ▲ keys or accept the displayed number (and continue in Setup mode) by pressing SELECT. Important: Enter a number that reflects a user’s actual weight since the calorie count and several other calculations are based on the weight entry.
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 Table continued... If QuickStart is pressed at the: The following occurs: Weight prompt The weight (150LB or 68KG) that appears on the display becomes the designated weight that the C932 uses to compute various cal culations. A user can change the display from 1 through 999 using the ▼ or ▲ keys. Age prompt The age prompt (AGE 0) that appears on the display becomes the designated age that the C932 uses for SmartRate® system.
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 Note: If a user were to exceed 65.53 miles (or kilometers) in a single workout, the numerical display resets to zero and begins over again. CALORIES: Provides an estimate of the cumulative number of calories burned. The calorie calculation is derived from the speed, incline level, and a user’s weight. An accurate weight entry results in a more accurate calorie count. SPEED: Displays the running belt’s speed.
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 The C932 Keypad The C932 keypad allows a user to control the workout session.

Important: Club owners, managers, and personal trainers.
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 STOP BUTTON The red Stop button is not part of the keypad, but it is an integral part of the treadmill’s safety features. Anytime during a workout, a firm tap on the red STOP button or a tug on the security cord slows the running belt to a stop. The treadmill retains a user’s workout statistics and enters Pause mode. Refer to Pause, Workout Summary, and Exit Features on page 39.

Blinking lights on the SmartRate® bar graph appear to show the “zone” that you are in.
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 The C932 is built to withstand the rigors of the health club environment. However, as club manager or owner, you are responsible for cleaning and maintaining the unit’s integrity.
