Self-Powered Features
The power source for the cycle is the user. When a person maintains
a pedal speed above 20 revolutions per minute (RPM), the power
that is generated allows the cycle to function properly.
Note: If the cycle is connected to a CSAFE master device, a slightly
different scenario occurs. When ten seconds remain before the
cycle shuts off, the workout session ends. RESETTING appears in
the lower display while the cycle disconnects from the CSAFE
master device. All key presses are ignored. pedaling has no effect on
the display.
Informational displays appear when the battery is low or when the
user reduces the pedal speed below the minimum requirement. The
display explains what to do to retain power. If the messages are
ignored, the cycle begins shutdown procedures to maintain the
charge of the battery. Refer to Informational Displays Prior to

Symptoms of a Low Battery
If no one has used the cycle for an extended period of time, the
battery may need recharging.
The Optional Power Adapter
The display functions differently when the power adapter is
connected. Because the power adapter provides a constant source
of power, the user can stop pedaling during a workout and pause for
brief periods without the cycle initiating shutdown procedures.
When the pause time limit expires and the user has not resumed
pedaling, the display returns to the Precor banner. Refer to Setting a
Pause Time Limit. To learn how to use the power adapter, refer to
Using the Optional Power Adapter.
Symptoms of a low battery include:
• No workout statistics appear or accumulate
• Changes to the pedal speed are ignored
The cycle continues to function with a low battery, but user and
program information is lost once the user stops pedaling.

Club Features
These next few pages provide information that lets you customize
the cycle for your club. All these features remain hidden to the club
patrons and can only be accessed using special key presses. Read
this section if you want to:
Club Programming Tips
• Electrical power must be supplied. A minimum pedal speed (20
revolutions per minute) must be maintained while programming
the cycle. A constant power source is available if you use the
optional power adapter. If you plan to program the cycle,
purchasing the optional power adapter is highly recommended.
• Change the display to a different language
• Change the display to U.S. Standard or Metric
• Set the maximum workout and pause times
• Set a cool-down time limit
Note: If you do not use the optional power adapter during club
programming mode, and the pedal speed falls below 20 RPM, no
warning is given when the cycle moves into its 30-second
shutdown procedure.
• Customize a program
• View the odometer
• The club programming mode is accessed by pressing the RESET
key at the Precor banner. The remaining key presses must occur
quickly and without pause. Always start at the Precor banner.
• Display the number of hours the cycle has been in use
• View the software versions and part numbers
• Check the error log
• The function of the QUICKSTART key is disabled while in club
programming mode.
• Display the serial number
• The club programs appear sequentially. Pressing the ENTER key
on the C846i or the SELECT on the C842i saves the changes
you make and moves you through the programs. To exit a program
without saving any changes, press the RESET key.

Setting a Workout Time Limit
You can limit how long a user can exercise on the cycle. For example,
if you set the time limit to 20 minutes, users can only enter a workout
time between 1 and 20 minutes.
Setting a Pause Time Limit
You can limit how long a user can pause while exercising on the
cycle by entering a time between 1 and 120 seconds (two minutes).
For example, if you set the pause time limit to 60 seconds, the
display automatically resets to the Precor banner if no pedaling or
key press occurs for one minute.
Note: The automatic cool-down period is appended to the end of
any time-based program, so adjust the time limit accordingly.
Important: The optional power adapter must be connected to
establish a pause time limit. If the optional power adapter is not
attached and the pedal speed drops below 20 revolutions per
minute, the cycle begins its 30-second shutdown effectively
eliminating pause mode.
You can also let a user exercise indefinitely by selecting the NO
LIMIT option. You will need to instruct users to select NO LIMIT
(C842i) or press the number 0 (C846i) when they are prompted for
a workout time.
Note: The REMAINING TIME (C846i) display will not appear if the
NO LIMIT option is chosen.

Setting a Resistance Range (C846i)
You can set a low, medium or high range of resistance on the C846i
cycle. Within each group, 25 resistance settings are available, but
the chosen group affects the overall resistance range.
Setting
Description
HIGH
provides the full range of resistance available. If an
upright cycle user chooses the high-end resistance
levels, the cycle provides enough resistance to simulate
sprinting or hill climbing for users wishing to stand on
the upright cycle. It also provides enough resistance for
elite riders that are capable of spinning at high speed
with high resistance.
An example of where you might use this programming feature is
physical therapy conditioning. If a user has an injury that needs low
levels of resistance, you might set the resistance range to low to
help ensure that the user does not induce further injury by exceeding
your recommended levels of resistance. The following table provides
short description of each group.
MEDIUM provides approximately two thirds of the resistance that
is available within the HIGH group setting. Club owners
may want to select the MEDIUM range for recumbent
cycles. Since users cannot stand on recumbent cycles,
less resistance is needed by the average (non-elite)
user. A MEDIUM range may provide more comfort. It
also allows users to make easier resistance changes in
the preset programs (HILL CLIMB and CROSS
COUNTRY).
LOW
provides approximately one third of the resistance that is
available within the HIGH group setting. The LOW
range may be appropriate in special situations where
poorly conditioned users are anticipated. The LOW
range is not recommended for the club environment.
9. At the SET RESISTANCE RANGE prompt, use an arrow key to
choose LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH.

Important: To change the Custom Program, it is highly
recommended that you use the optional power adapter. Otherwise,

Maintenance
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in
this section. Failure to maintain the cycle as described here could
void the Precor Limited Warranty.
Cleaning the Equipment
Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the covers.
However, for efficient operation, the cycle relies on low friction. To
keep the friction low, the cycle pedals and internal mechanisms must
be as clean as possible.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always
unplug the unit from its optional power adapter
before performing any maintenance tasks.
DANGER
Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the
accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth operation
of the unit. Clean the grooves on the pedals using a soft nylon scrub
brush.
Daily Inspection
Look and listen for slipping belts, loose fasteners, unusual noises,
and any other indications that the equipment may be in need of
service. If you notice any of these, obtain service.
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken
the paint or powder coatings and void the Precor Limited
Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the
cycle. Allow the cycle to dry completely before using.
Important: If you determine that the cycle needs service, move it
away from the usual exercising area. Place an “out of service” sign
on it and make sure all users know that the cycle needs service.
Storing the Chest Strap
To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service provider in
your area, refer to Obtaining Service.
Store the chest strap where dust and dirt cannot accumulate on it,
such as a closet or drawer. Be sure to keep the chest strap
protected from extremes in temperature. Do not store it in an area
that may be exposed to temperatures below 32° F (0° C).
Daily Cleaning
Precor recommends the cycle be cleaned before and after each
workout. Use a damp, soft cloth to clean all exposed surfaces.
To clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth dampened in
mild soap and water. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.

Upright Seat Adjustment
Long-Term Storage
1. Dismount and hold the post underneath the seat with one hand
while you pull out the seat post adjustment pin (pop pin) with the
other hand. Refer to Diagram 7.
When the cycle is not in use for any length of time, ensure that the
optional power adapter is unplugged from its power source and is
positioned so that it and the power cord will not become damaged
or interfere with people or other equipment.
2. Slide the seat post up or down into the desired position and then
release the seat post adjustment pin.
3. Before sitting on the cycle, press down firmly on the seat to make
sure it does not slip. Check that the pop pin is secure inside the
seat post.
Adjusting the Seat
To avoid knee strain, it is important that you inform your patrons
about positioning the seat properly.
To check for proper seat position, be sure users take the following
steps:
1. Sit on the seat.
2. Place each foot on a pedal (inside the pedal straps).
3. Observe the position of each leg. The extended leg should be
slightly bent at the knee in a 10 to 15 degree angle.
If seat adjustment is needed, refer to the following instructions.

Recumbent Cycles: Realigning the Seat
If the seat rocks side-to-side, you need to realign the center wheel
underneath the seat. Adjustment screws are located on the left side
of the seat rail.
To remove seat wobble (side to side movement), take the following
steps.
1. Obtain a ³⁄₁₆-inch and ⁵⁄₁₆-inch hex key.

CAUTION: The internal cable kit must be installed by authorized
service personnel. Do not attempt installation on your own as
you could void the Precor Limited Warranty. For more
information, refer to Obtaining Service.
Once the internal cable kit is installed, you can plug the optional
power adapter into the unit as shown in Diagram 13. Plug the
opposite end into the appropriate power source for your unit (110/
120v or 220/240v).
Diagram 12: Wheel lock adjustment
Important: When the optional power adapter is in use, ensure that
the power cord does not create a safety hazard. keep it out of the
way of traffic and moving parts. If the power cord or power adapter
is damaged it should be replaced.
3. Use the ⁵⁄₁₆-inch hex key to turn the wheel lock adjustment key
clockwise ¼ turn. Refer to Diagram 12. This process realigns the
center wheel inside the top rail. Leave the ⁵⁄₁₆-inch hex key in
place while you tighten the adjustment screws with the ³⁄₁₆-inch
hex key.
4. Remove the hex keys and check that the seat no longer rocks
side-to-side. If the rocking movement continues, you need to
repeat steps 2 and 3.
If you purchase the optional power adapter, you must also purchase
the internal cable kit. The kit supplies the cable, bracket, and
fasteners that connect the power adapter to the lower electronics
board.

Troubleshooting Heart Rate
Table 1 may help you understand and troubleshoot erratic heart rate
readings.
Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, both
touch-sensitive handlebar grips (C846i) must be grasped firmly for
five to ten seconds. 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, because of body chemistry
or erratic heartbeats, some people cannot use the touch-sensitive
heart rate feature. A chest strap may provide better results.
Important: A heart rate can only be detected when the Precor heart
rate receiver is properly installed in the display and the user
maintains a minimum of 20 RPM. A user must also wear the chest
strap on the C842i or grasp both touch-sensitive handlebar grips

After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for a
minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the receiver in the console
to recognize the signal from the chest strap. If three dashes
(— — —) appear on the display, the cycle is detecting a signal, but
has not yet determined your heart rate. Make sure the chest strap
is positioned properly around your chest and against your skin.
Using the Heart Rate
Touch-Sensitive Grips
While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive handlebar
grips for a minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart rate
to the display. Refer to Diagram 4.
If you prefer to use the hand-held heart rate feature, grasp both
touch-sensitive handlebar grips and wait five to ten seconds.
Make sure both hands are moist (not dry). When a signal is
detected, Hr flashes in the Heart Rate display. Within a few
seconds, your heart rate appears.
C846i Recumbent
C846i Upright
Important: While exercising, do not wear a chest strap and
grasp the touch-sensitive handlebar grips at the same time.
Using both features may cause erratic heart rate readings.
•
Always face forward on the cycle and use the handlebars for
balance.

handlebar grips
Diagram 4: Touch-sensitive handlebar grips
Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration
provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver
inside the display console. However, some people, because of body
chemistry or erratic heart beats, cannot use the hand-held heart rate
feature on the cycle. A chest strap may provide better results.

Choosing a Program
Choosing a program depends on your goals. If you are a beginner or
returning to regular exercise, you can start a cardio-conditioning
program to slowly return your body to a comfortable level of
exercise. If you have been exercising and feel that you have an
intermediate or advanced fitness level, you probably have
you many ideas about fitness workouts and advice from the experts.
Several workout choices on the cycle are preprogrammed with
recommendations for the resistance and alternating rest or work
intervals. You always have the option to override the suggested
levels with the exception of the Fitness Test and the Heart Rate
Control Program.
Diagram 6: C846i program label
If your level of exertion becomes too great, reduce your pedaling
speed (RPM) or use the arrow keys to override the resistance in
each upcoming column in the program profile. If you use the
RESISTANCE arrow keys, the profile changes accordingly.

The Watts Control Program automatically regulates the resistance
settings to keep the level of energy expenditure constant regardless
of the pedaling speed.
The Heart Rate Control Program lets you set a target for your heart
rate. The program adjusts the resistance to maintain your heart rate
within two beats per minute of the target heart rate while you
exercise. To use this program, you must wear the chest strap so the
program can monitor your heart rate throughout the session.
Important: In the Watts Control Program the RESISTANCE ▼▲
keys affect the target watt setting.
During your workout, the number that represents your heart rate
appears in the Heart Rate display.
When you begin the program, the initial resistance is 1 and the initial
target is 50 watts.
For information about understanding your target heart rate, refer to
Heart Rate Features.
Use the RESISTANCE arrow keys to change the target setting in
10-watt increments. Available target settings range from 30 to
400 watts.
Important: Consult your physician to determine the appropriate
target heart rate for your age and fitness level. If your physician
recommends a different target heart rate than the one that appears
on the display, use the appropriate arrow keys to change the target
heart rate once you finish the warm-up period. Do not exercise over
the recommended range.
The number keys may also be used to set the desired target. Refer
to the Display Console section.

Using the Heart Rate Control Program
When you access the Heart Rate Control Program, the following
occurs:
QUICKSTART
With the Weight Loss Program, the workout time is fixed at 28
minutes and consists of seven 4-minute intervals. You are not
prompted for a workout time. Use the arrow keys to change the
resistance for the rest or work interval. When you make changes, the
program repeats the settings for the remaining intervals.
•
The cycle automatically adjusts the resistance to keep
your heart rate at the selected target. Pressing the
RESISTANCE arrow keys no longer affects the resistance, but
does change the target heart rate. Check the SmartRate display
to see if you are maintaining your preferred zone (weight loss or
cardiovascular). Check the Heart Rate display to determine your
actual heart rate.
The display lets you know when the resistance levels are about to
change.
Important: Automatic adjustments to the resistance cannot take
place if you drop below 20 revolutions per minute (RPM).
•
•
You can change the target heart rate, but doing so affects the
unit’s ability to maintain your target heart rate in the preferred
zone. It takes time for the cycle to readjust the resistance so that
your heart rate remains on target.
When you complete the program, remember to add a cool-down
period.
Note: If you are having difficulty with the heart rate features, talk
to your club representative.

For the ideal weight loss range, your heart rate should be between
55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. If you wear the
chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips, you can use
SmartRate as a visual cue.

Assembly Steps
Position the rubber bib so the flared side faces the floor (as shown
in the illustration) and slide it into the base of the upright support.
Place the upright support on the base crossbar so that the lip of
the rubber bib rests on the crossbar and is parallel to the floor.
Have your assistant hold the upright support while you connect the
two cables. Place excess cable inside the base assembly.
Note: The C842i has only one cable connection.
Important: Do not stretch, crimp, or damage the cables. Cables
damaged by improper installation will not be covered by the
Precor Limited Warranty.
CAUTION: Before tightening the screws, make sure the
cables are not in danger of being crimped or pinched.
Secure the upright support to the base assembly using two hex
head cap screws (A) and two washers (B). Alternately tighten each
screw using a ³⁄₄-inch box-end or crescent wrench. Check the
upright support to make sure it is securely fastened.

Rest the seat pad against the seat frame posts. Insert the four
buttonhead screws (C) and finger tighten.
CAUTION: It is critical that you hand thread the four
buttonhead screws before alternately tightening them
with the hex key (E). The nut inserts on the back of the
seat pad can be easily stripped by improper assembly,
which is not covered by the Precor Limited Warranty.
When the four buttonhead screws (C) are properly threaded,
alternately wrench tighten each screw using the hex key (E).
Sit on the seat to adjust it. Pull up on the seat adjustment handle
and use your legs to slide the seat along the center post.
Note: If the seat rocks from side to side, you will need to realign
the center wheel that runs inside the center post. Refer to the
instructions in the Product Owner’s Manual.

Level the recumbent cycle. Before allowing users on the recumbent
cycle, make sure it does not wobble from side to side.
Verify that the C846i heart rate display is operational.
1. Sit on the cycle. When you are comfortably situated, begin
pedaling. Pedaling above 20 revolutions per minute (RPM) must
be maintained for several seconds.
2. Grasp both touch-sensitive grips on the seat handlebars.
3. Look at the Heart Rate display. The letters Hr should be blinking.
After a few seconds, a number appears indicating your heart rate.
Note: If the display remains blank, refer to the Product Owner’s Manual
for troubleshooting tips. Instructions regarding the chest strap are also
found in the Product Owner’s Manual.
Height adjusters
To remove any side-to-side movement, ask your assistant to tip the unit
on its side so that you can locate the two height adjusters on the rear
crossbar.
Turn the height adjusters until the unit does not wobble or rock from side
to side.
Important: If the unit is placed on a slightly uneven surface, rotating
the height adjusters can help, but will not compensate for extremely
uneven surfaces.
When you are finished making adjustments, ask your assistant to gently
lower the unit to the floor.
