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 user
through the entire workout session. Before the C846 is used, however, we recom-
mend that you familiarize yourself with it so you can instruct your customers to
use it safely and effectively. This section provides an overview of the features
provided on the display console
FEATURES ON THE DISPLAY CONSOLE
Indicator lights show which feature is being displayed. When a user works out, the
display presents Time, Distance, RPM (revolutions per minute), and Calories.
Users can change what features appear on the display by pressing the CHANGE
keys.
Important: Because the C846 is self-powered, the displays do not appear until
the user maintains a pedal speed above 20 revolutions per minute. Note that
there is an exception to this rule. If power is being supplied through the optional
battery recharger, then pedaling is not required for the Precor banner to appear.
Refer to page 6, C846 Self-powered Features.
As a user exercises, the display console provides motivation by presenting
constant feedback about his or her progress. A brief explanation of each feature
on the display console appears in Diagram 11. Look on the next pages for a more
thorough explanation. If an error message should appear, call a Precor qualified
service technician or service center. Refer to
Obtaining Service, on page 7.
SMARTRATE ® DISPLAY
SmartRate ® : A user must enter an age, during the course Setup prompts and wear
a POLAR ® chest strap (or hold onto the Heart Rate grips on the handlebars), while
in a course program, before the blinking segment in the bar graph can show the
zone that his or her heart rate is in, either: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular. Refer to
page 37,
The SmartRate ® Feature.
Important: During a course, the pedal speed must be above 20 revolutions per
minute and a user’s heart rate must be above 40 beats per minute before the
SmartRate
® segment begins to blink. A user must grasp both handlebars or wear
a POLAR chest strap.
HEART RATE: The heart rate display lets a user monitor his or her heart rate.
When a heart beat is detected, the number appears in the small upper right
display (refer to Diagram 11). See the
Important note above and refer to The
Heart Rate Feature and Target Zones on page 36.
