The C846 enters a 30-second Standby Mode. Time stops accumulating after 5 seconds and dots appear on the display. The dots indicate the amount of time you have left in Standby Mode. Resume pedaling to exit Standby Mode before the dots disappear from the display. If you pause longer than 30 seconds, the system assumes you have stopped your workout and resets the display. DISTANCE: The distance that you have travelled appears (00.00) once you begin a workout. Distance appears in 100th mile increments until you reach 99.99 miles in a single workout, then miles increment by 10ths (100.0). Distance can appear in miles or kilometers. If you wish to change the display, follow the instructions found in Change the Units of Measure. RPM: Indicates the number of revolutions that the pedal completes per minute. Note that a minimum of 30 revolutions per minute (RPM) must occur before the display appears. If the RPM drops below the minimum anytime during a workout, the C846 reverts to Standby Mode. SPEED: Converts RPMs into miles per hour. Kilometers per hour appear if the Metric display is chosen. Refer to Change the Units of Measure. CALORIES: Provides the cumulative number of calories being burned by the user. WATTS: Indicates the amount of energy the unit is currently expending. HEART RATE: The heart rate display lets you monitor your heart rate. When a heart beat is detected, the Heart Rate indicator lights and blinks in time with your pulse. If you did not purchase the Precor Heart Rate Option, the heart rate feature is skipped during the scanning process and the indicator will not light. Refer to C846 Heart Rate Feature for more information. Note: You must purchase and install the Precor Heart Rate Option and wear the POLAR chest strap before your heart rate can appear on the display.

Detecting a Heart Beat It may take several seconds for the heart rate receiver to detect a number of valid heart beats. Once it does, the users heart rate is displayed when the Heart Rate indicator (LED) is lit during the scanning process. Throughout a workout the Heart Rate LED flashes at the same rate as your pulse. If --- appears when the Heart Rate indicator (LED) is lit and all the previously discussed steps have been taken, then you need to do the following: Make sure that the electrodes on the chest strap are moist and placed properly against the skin. Sometimes, due to body chemistry, the chest strap cannot successfully detect and transmit a heart rate. If this occurs, use the electrolyte spray that accompanies the Precor Heart Rate Option package. Follow the directions on the bottle. After spraying the electrode strips on the chest strap, check to be sure that the strap is comfortably tight around the chest and centered in the middle of the users chest. Refer to the Precor Heart Rate Option Owner's Manual. Another possibility which can cause erratic readings is that the chest straps battery may be dead. To purchase a new chest strap, call 888-665-4404 to locate the dealer nearest you.
