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
SUPPLYING POWER TO THE C846
The C846 does not require an electrical power connection. It has an internal battery that is recharged every time a user works out for a reasonable period of time. A pedaling speed above 20 revolutions per minute must be maintained for several seconds before the Precor banner appears on the display. Once the banner appears, the user can press QUICKSTART or ENTER to begin working out. For more information, refer to page 29, Exercising on the C846.
TESTING THE HEART RATE DISPLAY
Verify that the heart rate display is operational before customers begin using the machine.
1.Begin pedaling and maintain a pedaling speed above 20 revolutions per minute. The Precor banner will appear on the display.
2.Grab both metal grips on the handlebars. See Diagram 8. A user must grasp both handlebar grips before the receiver in the display acquires the heart rate signal.
Diagram 8 Hand placement on the handrail grips.
Heart rate grip
C846 Recumbent
Note:To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, the electrode strips (handlebar grips) must be in contact with the user’s skin. Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver in the display console. However some people, because of body chemistry or erratic heartbeats, cannot use the heart rate touch-sensitive feature on the C846. A POLAR® chest strap may provide better results. Refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.
3.Wait five to ten seconds. A number indicating your heart rate (beats per minute) should appear in the small upper right display. Refer to Diagram 9 on page 16.
4.If the heart rate display appears, the cables are properly connected and the heart rate feature can be a viable part of a user’s workout.
5.If the heart rate display does not appear, stop pedaling. Ask someone else to try steps 2 and 3. If no heart rate number appears, refer to the Maintenance section, Heart Rate Troubleshooting Tips for more information.

You can limit how long a user works out by setting a duration between 1 and 240 minutes.You can also choose NO LIMIT, which allows the user to select a course and work out indefinitely. (Note that the user must enter a workout time of “0” using the numeric keys at the Enter Time prompt before he or she can workout indefinitely.)
Important: If the club setting is NO LIMIT and the user enters “0” at the Enter Time prompt, then the Remaining Time display does not appear when a user works out. (An exception to this rule is the Weight Loss Course.)
Note: The workout time of any course accessed by pressing QUICKSTART, is set at the Club limit. Refer to QUICKSTARTTM on page 28.
Use the ▼▲ keys to select a workout time limit. For example, if you set the workout time limit to 20 minutes, the C846 allows users to specify a workout between 1 and 20 minutes. Users would not be allowed to specify a time longer than 20 minutes. Take into account that the user will get an additional five-minute, cool-down period appended to his or her workout, so adjust the time limit accordingly.
SETTING A PAUSE TIME LIMIT
Use the ▼▲ keys to set a Pause time limit between 1 and 120 seconds (two minutes). Note that changes to the Pause time become effective only when the power source for the C846 is the optional battery recharger. If no battery recharger is connected and the pedal speed drops below 20 revolutions per minute, the C846 moves into a thirty second shut down mode. Refer to page 23.

LIMITING THE RESISTANCE RANGE
After pressing ENTER to accept the Pause time limit, you have the option to change the resistance range.The resistance range does not affect the number of resistance settings (1 through 25) that are available to the user. It determines how much resistance is felt at each resistance setting, and how big the step in resistance is from one resistance setting to the next.
The default resistant range is HIGH. It provides the full resistance available from the cycle.When the resistance range is set to HIGH and a user chooses the highend resistance levels using the arrow keys, the cycle provides enough resistance to simulate sprinting or hill climbing for users wishing to stand on an upright cycle. It also provides enough resistance for elite riders that are capable of spinning at high speed with high resistance.
The MEDIUM resistance range provides approximately two thirds of the resistance that is available with the HIGH setting. The maximum resistance available (a user chooses a resistance setting of 25) is reduced and the change, in resistance from one resistance setting to the next, is reduced. Clubs may want to select the MEDIUM range for recumbent cycles. Since users cannot stand on a recumbent cycle, less resistance is needed by the average (non-elite) rider. The MEDIUM range allows an average user more comfort. It allows them to use more of the available resistance settings and make resistance changes in the preprogrammed courses (Hill Climb and Cross Country) easier.
The LOW resistance range provides approximately one third of the resistance that is available with the HIGH setting. The LOW range may be appropriate in special situations where deconditioned users are anticipated, but the LOW range is not recommended for the normal club environment.
