Safety Approvals for
Cardiovascular Equipment
Precor equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the following applicable safety standards.
Cardiovascular Type Equipment:
CAN/CSA, IEC 60335-1 (Household and similar
electrical appliances - Safety)
Grounding Instructions
The equipment must be grounded. If the equipment
malfunctions or breaks down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current, which
reduces the risk of electrical shock. The equipment is
equipped with a power cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Failure to properly ground the
equipment could void the Precor Limited Warranty.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the unit is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the equipment. If it does not
fit the outlet, get a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI)
Federal Communications Commission,
Part 15
This fitness equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. The
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the owner's manual instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
If the equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the unit off and on, you are encouraged to
try to correct the interference using one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna for your
TV, radio, VCR, DVR, etc.
Increase separation between the unit and the
receiver (TV, radio, etc.).
Connect the equipment into a different power
outlet on a dedicated circuit different from the one
used by the receiver (TV, radio, etc.). No other
appliance should be plugged into the same power
outlet as the equipment.
Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
WARNING
Per FCC rules, changes or
modifications not expressly approved
by Precor could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
