Product Owner’s Manual: Self-Powered Features 6
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.
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
Shutdown.
An optional power adapter can be purchased and provides
sustained power to the cycle. If you plan to customize your unit, the
power adapter is highly recommended. To purchase the optional
power adapter, check with your dealer. Refer to Obtaining Service.
Informational Displays Prior to
Shutdown
The cycle saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode.
Whenever PEDAL FASTER appears on the display, the heart rate,
SmartRate®and program indicators turn off. If the user does not
maintain a pedal speed of 20 RPM, then a 20-second shutdown
process begins.
When 28 seconds remain, 28 dots appear in the center display. All
key presses are ignored except RESET. If no one begins pedaling, a
dot disappears every second as the countdown continues.
Note: The user can resume exercising if he or she begins pedaling
before the 28-second period elapses.
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.

Symptoms of a Low Battery
If no one has used the cycle for an extended period of time, the
battery may need recharging.
Symptoms of a low battery include:
• A flickering or erratic display
• 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.
Note: To maintain a constant power source, use the optional power
adapter.
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.
Replacing the Battery
The internal battery is built to last for a long time. However, if you feel
that the battery may need replacing, check with an authorized
service technician. Refer to Obtaining Service.
CAUTION: The battery stored inside the cycle C846i/C842i
contains hazardous materials and must be disposed of
according to Hazardous Waste Regulations. Refer to Hazardous
Materials and Proper Disposal.

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.
Note: The automatic cool-down period is appended to the end of
any time-based program, so adjust the time limit accordingly.
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.
The range of workout time available are:
5. At the SET MAX WORKOUT TIME prompt, use the arrow keys

display automatically resets to the Precor banner if no pedaling or
key press occurs for one minute.
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.
7. At the SET MAX PAUSE TIME prompt, use the arrow keys to
cycle through the available time limits. Choose between 1 and
120 seconds (two minutes).
8. When you are ready, press SELECT (C842i) or ENTER (C846i)

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.
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.
9. At the SET RESISTANCE RANGE prompt, use an arrow key to
choose LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH.
10.When you are ready, press ENTER to save your changes and
move to the next program. If you prefer to exit the program
without saving your changes, press RESET.
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.
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.

Product Owner’s Manual: Club Features 12
Changing the Custom Program
Important: To change the Custom Program, it is highly
recommended that you use the optional power adapter. Otherwise,
you will need to maintain a pedal speed above 20 revolutions per
minute to keep the cycle from shutting down.
When you design a custom program, you are preprogramming the
resistance for each column in the program profile.
11.A blinking column appears in the display. Use the COURSE
CHANGE ▼▲ keys to change the height of the column.
12.When the column height is set, use RESISTANCE ▲to move to
the next column. You can use RESISTANCE ▼to move back
and change earlier columns as needed.
13.Continue setting resistance level for each column in the profile.
14.When you are ready, press ENTER to save the program and
return to the Precor banner.
Note: If you prefer to exit the program without saving changes to
the custom profile, press RESET.
