IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the unit
from its power source before cleaning or performing any
maintenance tasks.
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, take the following precautions:
Connect the EFX to a properly grounded outlet
only. See Grounding Instructions on page 4.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The EFX546 must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, ground-
ing provides a path of least resistance for electric current which reduces the risk
of electrical shock. The EFX546 is equipped with a power cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. If you do not follow these Grounding In-
structions, you 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 EFX is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the unit—if it doesn’t fit the outlet, get a proper outlet installed by
a qualified technician.
120V Units Designated for U.S. Markets
The EFX546 is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. The unit’s grounding plug
looks like the plug illustrated in Diagram A. The power outlet must have the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
240V Units Designated for U.S. Markets
The EFX546 is for use on a nominal 240-volt circuit. The unit is factory-equipped
with a specific power supply cord to permit connection to a proper electric circuit.
Make sure that the EFX is connected to an outlet having the same configurations
as the plug. See Diagram A. No adapter should be used with this product. If the
EFX must be reconnected for use on a different type of electrical circuit, the
reconnection must be made by qualified service personnel.
SAFETY APPROVAL
When identified with the ETL-c logo, the EFX has been tested and conforms to
the requirements of CAN/CSA-E-335-1/2-94, Safety of Household and Similar
Electrical Appliances.

RFI — RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
Federal Communications Commission Part 15
The EFX has been tested and found to comply with,
•
the IEC EMC Directive (international electromagnetic compatibility certification)
•
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a commercial installation. The EFX 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 ra-
dio communications. Operation of the EFX in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference. If this occurs, the user will be required to correct
the interference at his or her own expense.
CAUTION —
Canadian Department of Communications
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions
from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioéélectriques dépassant
les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la Class A prescrites dans le
Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par le ministére des Communi-
cations du Canada.
