The C846 Display

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.
