The C846 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 userthrough the entire workout session. Before the C846 is used, however, we rec-ommend that you familiarize yourself with it so you can instruct your customersto use it safely and effectively. This section covers the following information:

• an overview of the features provided on the display console

• an explanation about the available courses

• instructions for utilizing the heart rate option

FEATURES ON THE DISPLAY CONSOLE

Indicator lights show you which feature is being displayed. When you are workingout, the display presents each feature consecutively—this is called scanning. Thedisplay is always in Scan mode unless you change what features appear on thedisplay by pressing the Change key.

The C846 Display

Diagram 10 C846 display console.

As you exercise, the electronic console provides motivation by presenting con-stant feedback about your progress. An explanation of each feature on the C846display console follows Diagrams 10 and 11.

Note: If an error message appears on the display, call a Precor qualified servicetechnician or service center. For the service center nearest you call, 888-665-4404.

Smart RateTM: When the Precor optional heart rate receiver has been properlyinstalled and you wear the POLAR® chest strap, a blinking segment in the bargraph appears at the left side of the display if your heart rate is above 40 beatsper minute. If you have entered an accurate age (completed during the coursesetup prompts), the blinking segment shows you the zone that your heart rateis in, either: Cardiovascular or Weight Loss.


Cardiovascular (CARDIO): Maintaining your heart rate between 70% and85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate, helps you (when continued on aregular basis for 30 minutes or more) improve your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespiratory fitness level.

Weight Loss (WT. LOSS): Maintaining your heart rate between 55% and70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate, helps burn enough calories that,when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides thegreatest fat-burning results.

Important: Pressing Quick Start disables the Smart RateTM display feature.

TIME: During your workout, a time (0:00) display appears when you begin ped-aling above 30 RPM and stops a few seconds after the pedals stop moving.Time appears in minutes and seconds. However, should you exceed 60 minutes(during a single workout), the time display converts to hours and minutes.

Note: To “pause” during your workout, stop pedaling. The C846 enters a 30-sec-ond Standby Mode. Time stops accumulating after 5 seconds and dots appear onthe display. The dots indicate the amount of time you have left in “Standby Mode.”Resume pedaling to exit “Standby Mode” before the dots disappear from the dis-play. If you pause longer than 30 seconds, the system assumes you have stoppedyour workout and resets the display.

DISTANCE: The distance that you have travelled appears (00.00) once youbegin a workout. Distance appears in 100th mile increments until you reach 99.99miles in a single workout, then miles increment by 10ths (100.0). Distance canappear in miles or kilometers. If you wish to change the display, follow the in-structions found in Change the Units of Measure.

RPM: Indicates the number of revolutions that the pedal completes per minute.Note that a minimum of 30 revolutions per minute (RPM) must occur before thedisplay appears. If the RPM drops below the minimum anytime during a work-out, the C846 reverts to Standby Mode.

SPEED: Converts RPM’s into miles per hour. Kilometers per hour appear if theMetric display is chosen. Refer to Change the Units of Measure.

CALORIES: Provides the cumulative number of calories being burned by the user.

WATTS: Indicates the amount of energy the unit is currently expending.

HEART RATE: The heart rate display lets you monitor your heart rate. When aheart beat is detected, the Heart Rate indicator lights and blinks in time withyour pulse. If you did not purchase the Precor Heart Rate Option, the heart ratefeature is skipped during the scanning process and the indicator will not light.Refer to C846 Heart Rate Feature for more information.

Note: You must purchase and install the Precor Heart Rate Option and wear thePOLAR® chest strap before your heart rate can appear on the display.

QUICK STEPS TO WORKING OUT

The steps to working out on the C846 are listed below. As you workout, keep inmind that you have several ways to increase your work effort.

• decreasing the resistance and increasing the revolutions per minute (RPM).

• increasing the resistance and keeping the RPM constant.

• increasing both the resistance and RPM.

1. For your Heart Rate to appear on the display, the heartrate receiver must be installed in the display console andyou need to wear the POLAR® chest strap. Refer to PrecorHeart Rate Option Owner’s Manual to learn how to usethe chest strap properly.

2. If necessary, turn the unit ON. As you face the displayconsole, the I/O switch is located at the lower right side ofthe base panel.

3. Sit on the seat and face the display console. Placeyour feet firmly in to the pedals. If you need to adjust theseat height, refer to the section below, Adjusting the Seat.

4. Check the pedal straps. Pedal straps should be tight sothat your feet cannot easily slide off the pedals.

5. Begin pedaling. When the Precor banner appears, an-swer the Setup prompts by pressing Enter or press QuickStart to access Manual mode (default settings apply).Refer to Quick Start information on pages 18 and 25.

To pause during your workout session, simply stop pedal-ing. Workout statistics stop accruing after 5 seconds if nopedal movement is detected. Then, the display reverts toStandby Mode. See Standby Mode on page 21.

6. Scanning occurs automatically once you begin acourse. To display one statistic (Time, Distance, Calo-ries, etc.), press the Change key until the statistic youwant is highlighted. That statistic will remain displayed untilyou press the Change key again.

7. Once you finish exercising, be sure to cool down.When you complete a course on the C846, the 5-minuteCool Down program automatically begins. Cooling downafter your workout helps reduce muscle stiffness and sore-ness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the work-ing muscles. It also helps your heart rate return to itsnormal (non-exercising) state. Always incorporate a 3 to5 minute cool down period at the end of your workout.See Cooling down After Your Workout on page 21.

8. Remove your feet from the C846 pedals. To help main-tain your balance, hold onto the handrails (C846 upright)or seat (C846 recumbent) as you dismount.

STANDBY MODE

You can pause any time during your workout. Use this feature to rest or take ashort break. To pause while working out, simply stop moving the pedals. You cantell that you are in Pause mode because Time and the other workout statisticsstop accruing after 5 seconds.

If you don’t begin pedaling within 5 seconds, the C846 reverts to Standby mode.Dots appear on the display during Standby mode to simulate a countdown. Thedots disappear from right to left and indicate how much time remains before theC846 assumes that you have stopped working out and resets the display. Theworkout statistics are deleted and the display appears blank or, if the unit isplugged in, the display returns to the Precor banner.

To resume your workout, begin moving the pedals before the dots disappearfrom the display. Your workout statistics continue from where you left off.

COOLING DOWN AFTER A WORKOUT

Cooling down after your workout is important because it helps reduce musclestiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the workingmuscles. Cooling down for at least 3 minutes helps provide a smooth transitionthat allows your heart rate to return to its normal (non-exercising) state. TheC846 provides an automatic 5-minute cool down period that occurs once youcomplete a course. A prompt appears, indicating that you are in cool down.

During your cool down, the displays on the console continue to appear. TheTime display counts down so you know how much time is remaining in cooldown. When you complete the 5-minute cool down, a prompt scrolls across thedisplay indicating that you have completed the cool down period. Continuepedaling to review your workout statistics. After the statistics are scanned, thedisplay reverts to the Precor banner. You can then stop pedaling and dismountfrom the cycle.

THE C846 HEART RATE FEATURE

To activate the heart rate feature on the C846, you need to purchase the PrecorHeart Rate Option and install its receiver into the display console. To display yourheart rate, you must wear the POLAR® chest strap while working out. The cheststrap transmits your heart rate signal to the receiver which, in turn, causes it toappear on the display. During your workout, the heart rate indicator lights andblinks at the same rate as your pulse. This provides a visual clue and indicateswhat your heart rate is doing even when the display is scanning a different feature.

Note: The Smart RateTM display does not appear if you use the Quick Start keyto access a course.

The heart rate equipment is sensitive and it requires special care. If you arehaving difficulty with the C846 heart rate feature, see the Heart Rate Trouble-shooting Tips described in the Maintenance section.


The C846 provides programmed courses that adjust the resistance level auto-matically. This section can inform you about the special features and functionsof the C846 courses and how to best utilize:

• the Smart RateTM feature • the Manual course

• the Interval course • the Hill Climb and Cross Country courses

• the Weight Loss course

Note: To choose a course, begin at the Precor banner and press Enter. User-friendly prompts guide you through the course selections. Refer to Quick Stepsto Working Out on page 20.

UTILIZING THE SMART RATETM FEATURE

Add the benefit of Smart RateTM to every course on the C846. Using Smart RateTM

as a visual cue helps you adjust your exercise routine to suit specific needs. SmartRateTM simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. You don’t haveto stop concentrating on your workout to find your pulse. It is displayed right infront of you along with the Smart RateTM zone. A blinking segment in the bar graphappears on the left of the display if you entered your age during the setup prompts.Once you begin a workout, the blinking segment can show the zone that your heartrate is in: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.

Important: Access to Smart RateTM is only available when the optional Precorheart rate receiver is installed in the C846. The person exercising must wear aPOLAR® chest strap. The Smart RateTM indicator lights do not appear whenQuick Start is used to select a course.

For the ideal “weight loss” range, your heart rate should be between 55% and70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. It should never exceed 80% of yourmaximum aerobic heart rate or go above your training zone. Refer to Diagram 13for your appropriate training zone.


When you maintain your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your maximumaerobic heart rate, you are improving your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespira-tory fitness level. Maintaining your heart rate in either zone (weight loss or cardio-vascular) for 30 minutes or more on a regular basis (minimum 3 times a week)provides the greatest benefits.

Important: If the Smart Rate segment appears, but does not blink, it meansthat a receiver is installed, but that you are not wearing the chest strap or it is notworking properly. To correct problems, refer to your Precor Heart Rate OptionOwner’s Manual or to Obtaining Service on page 2.

INTERVAL COURSE SETTINGS

Interval training provides numerous benefits. Since interval training segmentsthe workout into smaller components, a 20- or 30-minute workout seems topass more quickly. In addition, studies have shown that it is a more efficientmethod for achieving aerobic benefits—you start seeing improved cardiovascu-lar fitness much sooner with less effort. Studies also show that people whointerval train are more likely to stick with their fitness program.

The interval course on the C846 lets you set the course intervals according toyour training regimen. It alternates between 60 seconds of “Rest” and 60 sec-onds of “Work.” You set the resistance for the first rest and work interval and thesoftware takes over from there, repeating the intervals throughout the course.At any point during the workout, you can change the resistance of the currentinterval by simply pressing the ▼▲ keys. The software remembers the newsetting and applies it to the appropriate rest or work interval.

Important: If you use the Precor Heart Rate Option, you can adjust the rest orwork intervals if your heart rate is above or below the recommended zones foryour age. For the weight loss mode, try to maintain your heart rate at the lowerend (55% of maximum heart rate) while in the “rest” intervals and keep it at 70%of maximum heart rate while in the “work” intervals.

To use the interval course, take the following steps:

1. Sit on the C846 and set your feet on the pedals. Begin pedaling.

2. While the Precor banner scrolls across the display, press Enter.

3. At the course prompt, use the ▼▲ key to select INTV.

4. Press Enter to proceed to the next prompt. When you finish answering thesetup prompts, the Interval course begins.

To set the resistance levels for each interval, take the following steps:

1. The rest resistance level is preset to level “1.” Press the ▲ key if you want tochange the level. When the desired resistance setting is displayed, simplycontinue working out—you do not need to press Enter.

The C846 returns to the “rest” resistance level setting at the beginning ofeach rest interval until you change it or end your workout.


2. When “ENTER WORK RESISTANCE” scrolls across the display, specifythe work resistance (up to 20). Press the ▼ or ▲ keys until the desiredresistance appears.

Each rest and work interval lasts 60 seconds. The display automatically countsdown to the next interval. When the count reaches 30 seconds, a scan of yourworkout statistics occurs. Each time the C846 changes intervals, it informs youby scrolling a message across the display. When you complete the time limit setfor the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.

THE WEIGHT LOSS COURSE

The Precor Weight Loss course incorporates the latest findings on fat-burningand weight loss through exercise. It is based on research at the world-renownedCooper Institute for Aerobics Research and designed to help you burn the mostfat during a 28-minute workout, while minimizing the risk of discomfort and injury.The Weight Loss course is similar to the interval course, but provides a 28-minuteworkout with resistance levels preset to a minimum level for the 4-minute Restinterval and a maximum level for the 4-minute Work interval. Performed three orfour times a week, the weight loss course will help you reach your ideal weight andfitness level quickly and efficiently.

To use the Weight Loss course, take the following steps:



3. At the course prompt, use the ▼▲ key to select WTLS.

4. Press Enter to proceed to the next prompt.

Always monitor your pulse during and at the end of your workout. If you purchasedthe Precor Heart Rate Option and have installed the receiver and are wearing thePOLAR® chest strap, you can monitor your heart rate through the Smart RateTM

and Heart Rate displays. For the ideal “weight loss” range, your heart rate shouldbe between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. It should neverexceed 80% of your maximum aerobic heart rate or go above your training zone.Refer to Diagram 13 on page 22 for your appropriate training zone.

Note: When you complete the time limit set for the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.


MANUAL MODE AND THE QUICK START KEY

Manual mode lets you control your resistance level which affects the effort youput into your workout. As with other courses, when you complete the time limitset for the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.

You can choose Manual mode in two different ways:

• pressing the Quick Start key at the Precor banner. Quick Start bypassesthe remaining selections and starts the Manual course. Default settingsinclude a time limit of 30 minutes (or the Club setting, whichever is smaller)and an age of 35. The Smart RateTM display is disabled.

• pressing Enter at the Precor banner. This causes the C846 to display sev-eral setup prompts. At the course prompt, you need to select the MANLcourse.

The Manual course profile appears as a flat line. Use the ▼▲ keys to adjust theresistance level throughout the course. As you proceed with your workout, ablinking cell represents your position on the course.

THE HILL CLIMB AND CROSS COUNTRY COURSES

These courses are “preprogrammed” in that the resistance levels are preset.You can change the resistance any time during your workout by pressing andholding down either ▼▲ key. The course profile that appears on the displaychanges accordingly.

Note: Briefly pressing either ▼▲ key during your workout, displays the currentresistance level.

To access the Hill Climb or Cross Country courses, take the following steps:



3. At the course prompt, use the ▼▲ key to select either HILL or XCTY.

4. Press Enter to proceed to the next prompt. When you finish answering thesetup prompts, the course begins.

Note: When you complete the time limit set for the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.


The C846 requires little maintenance to keep it running smoothly and efficiently.However, you are responsible for typical maintenance tasks such as, cleaning theC846 to keep it free from dust and dirt accumulation. If you fail to maintain theC846 as described below, it could affect or void the Precor limited warranty.

CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT

Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the C846 casing. However,for efficient operation, the C846 must be as clean as possible. Periodically wipethe frame, display console, and pedals, with a dampened (not dripping wet) cleancloth using a solution of mild soap and water. This helps to remove any dirt or dustthat might affect the smooth operation of the C846. To clean the groves on thepedals, use a soft nylon scrub brush. Never pour water or spray liquids on any partof the C846. Allow the C846 to dry completely before using it. Vacuum the floorunderneath the unit every week to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.

The Precor Heart Rate Option equipment requires little maintenance beyond keepingit dust free. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth in mild soap and water to wipe the cheststrap clean. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.

USING THE OPTIONAL BATTERY RECHARGER

If the C846 has been left ON for an extended period of time and no one has usedthe machine, the battery may need recharging. Symptoms of a low battery include:

• flickering or erratic display

• no Standby mode

• no workout statistics appear or accumulate

Note: Pedaling above 30 RPM must occur for several seconds before the display canbe activated. Workout prompts and statistics only appear if the pedaling is continuous.

Youcan use the C846 while the battery recharger is plugged in. The display functions abit differently when the battery recharger is used. It returns to the scrolling Precorbanner instead of appearing blank when a user stops working out.


REPLACING THE BATTERY

According to current environmental regulations, the battery stored inside the C846casing contains hazardous materials. Therefore, if you need to replace it, the“dead” battery must be disposed of according to Hazardous Waste Regulations.

The C846 battery is built to last for a long time. However, if you find that thefollowing occurs while the unit is plugged into a power source via the op-tional battery recharger, you may want to replace the battery.

• while pedaling above 30 RPM, the features on the display appear erratic(fading in and out or not appearing at all).

• while pedaling above 30 RPM, the Precor banner does not appear nor doany features on the display.

To replace the battery, obtain the tools below and take the following steps:

Tools required: Phillips head screwdriver, 1/8” hex key, and 5/16” hex key.

7. Return the new battery into the battery bracket. Slide the battery bracketagainst the steel support and align the screw holes. Replace the screwsand tighten using the 1/8” hex key.

8. Replace the right side panel. Place the pedal in an upright position. Adjustthe panel and realign the mounting holes. Secure the panel by replacing the9 fasteners. Tighten each fastener with the appropriate tool. (Refer to step 2.)

STORING THE POLAR® CHEST STRAP

Store the chest strap transmitter in a place where dust and dirt cannot accumu-late on it such as, a closet or drawer. Be sure to keep the chest strap protectedfrom extremes in temperature. Do not store it in an area that may be exposed totemperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

HEART RATE TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

If you have purchased the Precor Heart Rate Option and installed the receiverinto the display console, the C846 should be able to pick up a user’s heart ratesignal if he or she is wearing the POLAR® chest strap while working out.

Important: The Precor heart rate receiver must be properly installed in the dis-play console according to the instructions found in the Precor Heart Rate OptionOwner’s Manual.

A few easy steps can be taken before you need to call customer service regard-ing heart rate problems. One of the first things to do is verify the following:

The C846 is turned ON.

The POLAR® chest strap is being worn properly by the user during a workout.

The user is within 3 feet of the C846, facing the display, and pedaling above30 RPM.

The user is working out in a selected a course. (The Heart Rate feature isactivated when a course profile appears.) Note that if the user pressesQuick Start to access a course, the Smart RateTM feature will not appear.

Other aspects of the heart rate option are discussed below:

Determining if the Heart Rate Receiver is installed in the Display Console

A quick way to determine if the heart rate receiver is installed in the C846 is tobegin pedaling, press the Enter key and follow the prompts. If the heart ratereceiver is installed, the prompt "ENTER AGE" appears after selecting a work-out time. If you end up with the course profile being displayed immediately afterentering a workout time, then the C846 does not have a heart rate receiverinstalled. If you wish to purchase the option, call 888-665-4404 to locate thedealer nearest you.


Detecting a Heart Beat

It may take several seconds for the heart rate receiver to detect a number ofvalid heart beats. Once it does, the user’s heart rate is displayed when theHeart Rate indicator (LED) is lit during the scanning process. Throughout aworkout the Heart Rate LED flashes at the same rate as your pulse.

If “---” appears when the Heart Rate indicator (LED) is lit and all the previouslydiscussed steps have been taken, then you need to do the following:

• Make sure that the electrodes on the chest strap are moist and placedproperly against the skin. Sometimes, due to body chemistry, the cheststrap cannot successfully detect and transmit a heart rate. If this occurs,use the electrolyte spray that accompanies the Precor Heart Rate Optionpackage. Follow the directions on the bottle. After spraying the electrodestrips on the chest strap, check to be sure that the strap is comfortably tightaround the chest and centered in the middle of the user’s chest. Refer tothe Precor Heart Rate Option Owner's Manual.

• Another possibility which can cause erratic readings is that the chest strap’sbattery may be dead. To purchase a new chest strap, call 888-665-4404 tolocate the dealer nearest you.

SERVICING THE C846

Do not attempt to service the C846 yourself except for the maintenance tasksdescribed in this manual. The C846 does not contain any user-serviceable partsthat require lubrication. For information about product operation or service, call888-665-4404.

BATTERY RECHARGER POWER CORD

When the C846 optional battery recharger is in use, ensure that the powersupply cord is away from moving parts and cannot be damaged. If the powersupply cord or power conversion module is damaged, it can only be replaced ina repair shop appointed by Precor because special tools are required.

C846 LONG TERM STORAGE

When the C846 is not in use, ensure that the optional battery recharger cordis unplugged from the wall outlet and is positioned so that it will not becomedamaged or interfere with other equipment or people. Turn OFF the C846 andensure that is kept free from dirt, moisture, or damage.
