Getting Started

The P10 console offers administrators the ability to set default values that meet their specific needs. These values include items like language, units of measure, and setting a maximum allowed workout time for each piece of equipment.

Activating the Console for Self-Powered Equipment

Precor equipment is either self-powered or externally powered using an optional power adapter. Self-powered equipment requires the user exercise to initialize the console. This section provides more detail about powering equipment.

Activating the Console for Self-Powered Equipment

On self-powered equipment, when a user starts exercising, the console initializes and displays the Welcome banner. A minimum rate of motion must be maintained for the Welcome banner to appear. The words PEDAL FASTER (or the equivalent message depending on the equipment type) appear in the display when the rate of motion drops below the minimum requirements.

The equipment saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode. If the user does not maintain the minimum rate of motion, a 30-second shutdown process begins.

In this mode, the console displays a countdown indicator and ignores all keypresses. If no movement is detected or the rate of motion remains below the minimum, the indicator changes as the countdown continues.

Note: The user can resume exercising before the countdown period elapses and the workout will continue from the point at which it was paused.

Optional Use of the Power Adapter

An optional AC power adapter provides sustained power to the equipment. This adapter allows you to change settings without having to pedal the equipment. To purchase the power adapter, contact your dealer.

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.

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.

Important: If this equipment includes a P80 console, the optional power adapter and the internal cable kit must still be installed to provide continuous power to the base unit and support its internal battery.

Once the internal cable kit is installed, you can plug the optional power adapter into the equipment. Plug the opposite end into the appropriate power source for your equipment (120 V or 240 V). Review the safety instructions found at the beginning of this manual before using the power adapter.

CAUTION: When the optional power adapter is in use, make sure that the power supply cord does not create a safety hazard. Keep it out of the way of traffic and moving parts. If the power supply cord or power conversion module is damaged, it must be replaced.

The control console functions differently when the power adapter is connected. Because the power adapter provides a constant source of power, a user can pause for brief periods without initiating shutdown procedures. When the pause time limit expires and the user has not resumed exercising, the console returns to the Welcome screen. The default pause time is 30 seconds for all fitness equipment. Refer to the manual for your control console for instructions on setting or changing the pause time limit.

Identifying Parts of the Console

The following figure provides information about the console keys. The number and actions of the console keys may differ slightly depending on the type of equipment.

Introducing Users to the P10 Console

CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, see your physician for a thorough physical examination. Seek advice from your physician to learn the target heart rate appropriate for your fitness level.

The P10 console offers an easy-to-follow display and multiple workouts to help people meet their exercise needs.

Important: Please review the following sections in this guide with your users before allowing them to use the fitness equipment:

• Important Safety Instructions
• Getting Started
  • Using the Safety Clip (for treadmill only)

Using the Touch Heart Rate Feature

Note: Touch heart rate performance may vary based on your physiology, fitness level, age, and other factors. You may experience an erratic readout if your hands are dry, dirty, or oily, or if the skin on your palms is especially thick. Wearing hand lotion can also cause an erratic readout. In addition, make sure that the sensors are clean to ensure proper contact can be maintained.

To use the touch heart rate feature, place the palm of your hands directly on the metal heart rate sensors on the equipment's handlebars. To ensure an accurate heart rate readout, make sure you follow these tips:

• Both hands must grip the sensors for your heart rate to register.

• It takes a number of consecutive heartbeats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register.

• When gripping the sensors, do not grip tightly. Keep a loose, cupping hold. Holding the grips tightly can affect the reading.

• As you work out, your perspiration will help transmit your heart rate signal. If you have difficulty using the handheld grips to determine your heart rate, try the sensors again later in the workout to see if you can obtain a heart rate signal.
• If the touch heart rate feature does not work for you, Precor recommends that you use a chest transmitter strap.

Heart Rate Target Zones

Figure 5: Heart rate target zones

CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. You can calculate your maximum heart rate using the following formula:

Maximum heart rate = 207 - (your age × 0.67)

Using a Chest Strap Transmitter

WARNING

Signals used by the chest strap transmitter (or heart rate strap) may interfere with pacemakers or other implanted devices.

Consult your physician and the manufacturers of your chest strap transmitter and implanted device before using a chest strap transmitter.

Wearing a chest strap transmitter during your workout provides steady heart rate information. For the equipment to detect your heart rate, you must grip the touch heart rate sensors or wear a chest strap transmitter while exercising. In the presence of both touch and wireless data, the touch data takes precedence and will display.

Note: To receive an accurate reading, the strap needs to be in direct contact with the skin on the lower sternum (just below the bust line for women).

To use a chest strap transmitter:

1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water.
   Important: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.
2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The strap should feel snug, not restrictive.
3. Make sure that the chest strap is right-side-up, lies horizontally across, and is centered in the middle of your chest.
4. Test the chest strap placement by checking the heart rate function on the equipment. If a heart rate is registering, your chest strap placement is correct. If the equipment does not register a heart rate, readjust the strap and recheck the heart rate function.

Using the Treadmill Safety Clip

The treadmill is equipped with three different stop functions, which behave as follows:

Treadmill Auto Stop™ (Automatic Stop) Function

Important: The default setting for this feature is ON. An administrator can turn off this feature in the System Settings; however, Precor recommends it remain ON.

The Auto Stop ^™ (Automatic Stop) feature is designed to bring the treadmill to a gradual stop when it is not in use. This might occur if a user steps off the treadmill before the end of a workout and leaves the treadmill running.

60 seconds after a treadmill workout starts, or 30 seconds after it resumes, the equipment begins Auto Stop monitoring. If a user is detected, then no message appears, and the selected workout continues.

If no user is detected after an additional 30 seconds, the console displays the message NO USER DETECTED, STOPPING IN 10 SECONDS as notification of the pending stop. During the display of this message, a ten second countdown begins. If a user does not override the countdown, the belt comes to a gradual stop after the countdown is complete.

Note: Users weighing more than 50 pounds (22.7 kg) are detected within the speed and position limits of the feature. Users weighing less than 50 pounds (22.7 kg) may not be detected depending on their speed and location. Always be aware of the console's instructions and follow them for proper operation.

Starting a Workout

CAUTION: If you are using a treadmill, be sure to attach the security clip to your clothing before starting your workout.

The equipment is in the Welcome state when the words SELECT A WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICKSTART TO BEGIN scroll across the scrolling text display.

If the equipment is connected to CSAFE, the words SELECT A WORKOUT, PRESS QUICKSTART, OR ENTER TO BEGIN scroll across the text display.

If anything else appears on the screen, press Pause to display the Welcome banner.

From this screen, there are two ways to begin a workout:

• Press Quick Start™.
  This action launches the Manual program. Calculations, such as calories used, are based on a 150-lb (68 kg), 35-year old person.

- Press one of the preset workout buttons.

When a user reaches the club time limit during a workout, the words number MINUTE CLUB TIME LIMIT REACHED, WORKOUT ENDING (where number is the number of minutes set as the club time limit) appear in the text display.

Starting a Preset Programmed Workout

Preset workouts are a great way to tailor your workouts to your fitness goals, stay challenged, and add variety to your sessions. These workouts are arranged in the following categories:

• Manual
• Heart Rate
• Interval
• Weight Loss
• Variety
• Performance

Pausing and Resuming an Exercise Session

When you interrupt a workout, the equipment responds in one of two ways, depending on how it is powered.

Paused (Externally Powered Equipment)

When the session is paused, the belt speed is slowly reduced to zero, or the resistance is slowly reduced to the minimum. The lift motor is turned off leaving the incline or crossramp at its current position. Data entry is canceled.

When you press Pause on all non-treadmill equipment, it displays the summary screen with your workout metrics. After displaying the summary, it returns to the Welcome screen.

Pending Shutdown (Self-Powered Equipment)

On self-powered machines, the paused state is equivalent to the pending shutdown state. When you stop working out, the equipment begins a 30 second countdown.

The accumulated metrics (e.g., time, strides, distance, calories) hold their current values and do not change. Data entry may not be started.

To restart the program, begin working out again. The resistance is reset to what it was when the program was paused.

If the equipment remains inactive for more than 30 seconds, the power is lost and the equipment bypasses the workout summary screen.

Ending a Session

Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout because it helps reduce muscle stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles. In addition, a three to five minute cool down allows your heart rate to return to its normal, resting state.

At the end of your workout, a Summary screen displays your average heart rate during your workout and your accumulated workout metrics.

If you performed a fitness test exercise program, an initial message presents a fitness score.

The next two messages display the user's average and maximum heart rate during the session. These messages are only displayed if heart rate data was acquired during the session, i.e., a valid heart rate number was displayed at least once during the session.

The summary state times out in two minutes, causing a return to the Welcome banner. If the machine is in a CSAFE Finished state then the summary state must last for at least the CSAFE timeout value, typically 10 seconds or less. If it has not lasted that long, then before returning to the Welcome banner, the word RESETTING appears until the CSAFE finished state ends.

Three different types of metrics are captured during a workout.

Controlled Metrics can be set and changed. They include:

• Resistance Level (AMT, EFX, bike)
- Speed (treadmill)
- Incline (treadmill)
- Crossramp (EFX)

Current Performance Metrics describe the intensity of a workout in real time. They include:

• Pace (treadmill)
• Heart Rate
• Speed (bike)
  • Revolutions/Minute (bike)
• Strides/Minute (AMT, EFX)
• Watts (bike)

Accumulated Metrics describe the overall performance throughout the entire exercise session. They include:

• Time Elapsed
• Time Remaining
• Distance
• Calories
• Time (bike)
  • Total Strides (EFX)
  • Average Speed (treadmill)

Workouts

Your fitness equipment includes a wide selection of workouts that are carefully designed to make sure you get the best results out of every workout.

The human body is extremely efficient. If it makes the same motion regularly over many days or weeks, it learns to make that motion with less and less effort. This process, called muscle adaptation, has one drawback—the longer you stick to the same workout, the less good that workout does you.

To prevent muscle adaptation from setting in as you work out, try different kinds of workouts on different days. By keeping your muscles guessing, you'll keep your energy use up, promoting faster weight loss and better conditioning.

The workouts in the following table are available on units equipped with the P10 console.

The following listing describes these workouts.

Weight Loss Key

Pressing the Weight Loss key scrolls through the workouts that are designed to encourage weight loss and aerobic conditioning.

The American College of Sports Medicine ^® recommends that adults get at least 30-60 minutes of moderately intense exercise five days a week. The Weight Loss workout provides a structured and time-based aerobic challenge designed to help you reverse or prevent weight gain.

The total time for this workout is fixed at 28 minutes. It consists of alternating four-minute work and rest intervals. During the work intervals, you can change the resistance at any time.

Training tip: For best results, wear a heart rate monitor and maintain a target heart rate that is between 50% and 70% of your maximum heart rate.

Heart Rate Key

Pressing the Heart Rate key selects the Basic Heart Rate Controlled (HRC) workout, which monitors your heart rate to guide you through a moderate intensity program that is optimal for aerobic conditioning. To use this workout, you must either wear a chest strap sensor (recommended) or maintain continuous contact with the handheld sensor grips.

Note: You cannot switch to this workout during an exercise session.

During the workout, your target heart rate is based on the following calculation:

Target heart rate = 70% × (207 - (0.67 × your age))

The equipment adjusts intensity settings to maintain your target heart rate while you work out.

When a heart rate signal is not received, the metrics displays remain blank. If this happens, recheck your hand grip on the handheld sensors or the placement of your chest strap.

Training tip: This program offers a coaching benefit for new and returning users who are learning how to maintain a moderate, steady exertion level throughout their workouts.

Performance Key

Press the Performance key repeatedly to select a workout that conditions and tests the body's muscular and aerobic performance.

Note: On treadmills, a fitness test option is also available. A technician at the fitness facility must activate the fitness test before you can use it. After the test has been activated, you can scroll between the Track and Fitness Test workouts by pressing the Performance key repeatedly.

Track

This workout is largely identical to the Manual workout; there are no preset intensity levels, so you can adjust the levels as you work out. However, in place of the normal intensity graph, a diagram depicting an oval running track appears on the lower display. A blinking LED shows where you are in your current lap, and each lap is equal to 440 yards (400 meters).

Training tip: Challenge yourself by adjusting your training parameters regularly for the best results.

Hill Climb

This workout simulates a walk, run, or ride up a long grade and down a shorter one. It engages a wide range of muscle groups by adjusting the resistance, CrossRamp, or both to deliver a hill climbing experience. You can change these settings at any time, and your changes will affect the intensity of the rest of your workout.

Note: On the EFX, the console prompts you to pedal backward during part of the workout.

Training tip: Incorporating hill climb workouts into your regular cardio schedule will keep your workouts varied and help build lower body muscle strength.

Cross Training Workouts

This workout delivers true training variety and muscular engagement by adjusting the resistance and incline continuously to simulate the dynamic terrain of an outdoor run.

The CrossRamp setting is preprogrammed in each of these workouts, but you can change it or the resistance setting at any time. Your changes are applied to the levels for the remainder of your workout, and the columns in the workout profile show the changed CrossRamp levels.

Training tip: Advanced users can engage their core stabilizer muscles more thoroughly by taking their hands off the handlebars throughout the workout.

Fitness Test

Fitness tests evaluate your body's overall fitness in terms of its aerobic capacity. During the warmup stage of the test, you can adjust your starting resistance settings. After that, you complete a series of stages of increasing intensity. Based on your progress through these stages and the changes in your heart rate as you complete them, the equipment calculates your fitness score at the end of the test.

On treadmills, the Gerkin Fitness Test compares your fitness level with the official fitness standards of the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF). This test is written using the Gerkin Protocol, which is the basis for the official IAFF fitness test and part of their Wellness and Fitness Initiative.

The treadmill ends the test prematurely if any of the following things happen:

• The equipment cannot detect your heartbeat.
• Your heart rate exceeds 85% of your maximum safe rate for 15 seconds or more.
• Your heart rate changes too quickly.
• You press the STOP switch or pull on the safety clip lanyard.

Important: For best results, sit and rest for at least five minutes before you take the test.

Training tip: To see how your performance level increases with exercise over time, try taking the fitness test as soon as possible after you begin your exercise program. Then, as you keep working out, take the fitness test from time to time and watch your results improve.

The following tables show how to interpret your test score.

Table 7. Fitness score categories for women

Age in Years	Low Fitness	Medium Fitness	High Fitness
20-39	28 or below 28-34	34 or above
40-49	26 or below 26-32	32 or above
50-59	24 or below 24-29	29 or above
60 or over	22 or below 22-27	27 or above

Table 8. Fitness score categories for men

Age in Years	Low Fitness	Medium Fitness	High Fitness

40-49	32 or below 32-40	40 or above
50-59	29 or below 29-37	37 or above
60 or over	24 or below 24-32	32 or above

Variety Key

Pressing the Variety key selects a random or specialized workout designed for the fitness equipment you are using.

Random

Variety (for both the muscles and the mind) is the key to continued success for every exercise goal. The Random workout delivers a different training profile every time you select it. The one-minute segments that appear in the workout profile maintain a set incline that you can override.

Training tip: Your body will respond differently to each workout. The best way to evaluate and quantify the effectiveness of each exercise session is to wear a chest strap or use the touch-sensitive grips during your training sessions.

Gluteal Workouts

Strong glutes contribute to better posture, improved spine and hip stabilization, and reduction in lower body injuries at the hips, knees and ankles. These workouts target your thighs and glutes as they gradually increase in intensity, but you can modify the intensity levels at any time.

On EFX models, the workout prompts you to reverse direction after 25%, 50%, and 75% of the total time. At these points, you will see text messages on the console that remind you to change direction.

Training tip: To increase your core activation (the effort expended by your torso and gluteal muscles) during your workout, take your hands off the machine handles or handrails while maintaining an upright posture.

Interval Key

Interval workouts help exercisers improve strength, endurance, aerobic and anaerobic fitness. They alternate short bursts of high intensity activity with recovery periods. Pressing the Interval key selects the available interval workout.

Note: On the AMT, two different interval workouts are available. Press the Interval key repeatedly to scroll between the available workouts.

1-1 and 1-2 Interval

The 1-1 Interval workout is designed to raise and lower your heart rate in a repeating fashion for a user-defined period of time by alternating rest and work intervals of two minutes each. Likewise, the 1-2 Interval workout alternates two minutes of rest with four minutes of work.

Training tip: You can tailor your rest and work period intensity further by adjusting either of the intensity settings at any time. The equipment remembers these preferences for each upcoming interval.

Custom Interval

The Custom Interval workout is similar to the Interval workout. However, before you begin, you must specify the length of the rest and work intervals. Use either the arrow keys or the keypad to select a duration between 1 and 30 minutes, then press OK to enter your selection. After you have entered both durations, your workout begins.

Training tip: Depending on your fitness level and workout goals, you can set your recovery period as low as one minute between work intervals. For the work intervals themselves, you can set any duration between 1 and 30 minutes. Customizing the proportions of your work and rest intervals based on your unique training objectives will speed your progress toward your performance goals.

Manual Key

The workout available through the Manual key motivates you by allowing you to define and track your exertion levels throughout your exercise session.

Training tip: As you progress through your workout, each segment of the profile reflects the last change you made to the intensity settings. Challenge yourself by adjusting your training parameters regularly for the best results.

Maintenance

To keep the equipment functioning properly, perform the minor maintenance tasks in this section at the intervals suggested. Failure to maintain the equipment as described in this section could void the Precor Limited Warranty.

DANGER

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always disconnect the equipment from its power source before cleaning it or performing any maintenance tasks. If the equipment uses an optional power adapter, disconnect the adapter.

Cleaning the Console and Display

The console requires little maintenance once installed. Precor recommends that you clean the console before and after each exercise session.

To remove dust and dirt from the console:

• Wipe all exposed surfaces with a soft cloth that you have moistened with a solution of 30 parts of water to 1 part of Simple Green® (for more information, visit

www.simplegreen.com).

Important: 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 directly on the console or console's screen.

- It is important to avoid using any corrosive chemicals on the console or screen.

- Always dampen the cloth and then clean the screen. Be sure to spray the cleaning liquid onto the cloth, not the console, so that drips do not seep into the console.

- Apply the cleaner with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using gritty cloths.

Checking and Resetting the Active Status Light (Treadmill Only)

Experience Series treadmills manufactured after June 2014 include many improvements in design, function, and usability. One of those improvements is the status indicator light at the front of the treadmill hood, which gives a club owner or technician an easy way to check up on the condition of the treadmill.

Note: If a number does not appear in the HEART RATE display, you may need to disassemble the unit and check the cable connection.

Breaking In the Equipment

Precor equipment does not require an actual break-in period. However, moving components such as belts, gears, and bearings can settle while the equipment is being stored or shipped. This can cause the equipment to operate with a small amount of roughness or noise when it starts up for the first time.

The equipment usually returns to smooth operation after a day or two of normal use. If it does not, contact your dealer for assistance. For more information, refer to Obtaining Service.

Installing the Console

To make installation easier, all Precor Experience Series consoles use the same mounting hardware and connector locations whenever possible. The installation sequence for any of them is as follows:

• Threading the console cable assembly
- Connecting cables
- Completing the installation (tightening the mounting screws and attaching the back cover)

The following sections describe how to perform these tasks.

Threading the Console Cable Assembly

Earlier in the installation, you threaded the necessary cables through the frame of the base unit and out the passthrough opening in the console mount. As you line up the back plate on the console with the console mount, you must make sure that the console cable assembly passes correctly through the openings in both components.

Important: Before you begin the following procedure, remove the rear cover from the control console. Set the cover and its mounting hardware aside for later use.

To thread the console cable assembly:

1. Make sure that as much of each cable as possible passes through the opening in the middle of the console mount on the base unit.
2. Position the console over the console mount.
3. Rest the console on the console mount so that the notch on the bottom of the console's back plate rests on the rectangular hook at the bottom of the console mount, as shown in the following figure.
4. Tilt the console forward until it stops. Use one hand to steady the console in this position, or ask your assistant to do so.

Connecting Cables

Important: Pass all cables through the semicircular opening just above the console mount, as shown in the following figure. Do not attempt to route any cables through other openings or through the steel channel above the mount.

Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbols

Figure 13: Cable routing from the mount into the console

After the console has been seated, separate the individual cables out of the end of the console cable assembly and attach them to the appropriate circuit connectors inside the console. Refer to the following diagram and table to identify the cables and connectors.

Important: All cables must pass through the opening in the center of the console mount.

Completing the Console Installation

Before you complete the final installation steps, double-check the connections you have made. Make sure that all cables are fully and securely connected, and that any unneeded cables are tied back properly.

To complete the installation:

1. Feed extra cable back into the neck tube.
2. Tilt the control console backward (toward yourself) until the tab on the top edge of its back plate slides along the top edge of the console mount and the screw holes align properly.

3. Insert the four 58 -inch flat head screws through the holes in the console mount and thread them into the holes in the back plate on the console. Partially tighten the screws using a 532 -inch hex wrench.

4. Line up the two small tabs at the bottom of the console's back cover with the slots at the bottom of the console case. Insert the tabs into the slots.

5. Insert the two #8-32 x 1/2-inch Phillips-head screws that you removed earlier into the holes at the top edge of the console's back cover. Tighten the screws fully.
   Important: Use caution not to pinch the cables between the back cover and PVS mounting screw heads.
6. Fully tighten the four mounting screws (partially tightened in step 3) using a 5/32 -inch hex wrench.

Self-Powered Features

Important: This chapter of the manual describes Precor fitness equipment that can operate without being connected to AC power. This includes units equipped with P30 or P10 consoles. However, P80 consoles must be connected to AC power through their power supplies to operate. For this reason, this chapter does not apply to units equipped with P80 consoles.

On self-powered equipment, the system initializes and displays the Welcome screen when a user starts exercising. A minimum rate of motion must be maintained for the banner to appear, as shown in the following table. When a person meets the requirements, the power that is generated allows the equipment to function properly.

Table 3. Minimum requirements for operation

Equipment	Rate of Motion
AMT 40 strides per minute (SPM)
EFX 40 strides per minute (SPM)
Climber 30 steps per minute
Bike 20 revolutions per minute (RPM)

Informational displays appear when the battery is low or when the rate of motion drops below the minimum requirements. The display explains what to do to retain power. If the messages are ignored, the equipment 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 equipment. If you plan to change the club settings on a unit equipped with a P30 or P10 console, 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 equipment saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode. If the user does not maintain the minimum rate of motion, a 30-second shutdown process begins.

In this mode, the console displays a countdown indicator and ignores all key presses. If no movement is detected or the rate of motion remains below the minimum, the indicator changes as the countdown continues.

Note: The user can resume exercising before the countdown period elapses and the workout will continue from the point at which it was paused.

Important: If the equipment is connected to a CSAFE master device, it follows a slightly different shutdown process. Ten seconds before the equipment shuts down, it ends the exercise session and displays a reset message while it disconnects from the CSAFE master device. It ignores all key presses during these last ten seconds.

Symptoms of a Low Battery

If no one has used the equipment for an extended period of time, the battery may need recharging.

Symptoms of a low battery include the following:

• A flickering or erratic display
- Loss of user and program information after the user stops exercising, without any display of a workout summary or a notification of pending shutdown
- Inability to decrease the incline setting (if any)

Important: To maintain a constant power source, use the optional power adapter.

Using the Optional Power Adapter

After connecting the power adapter to the equipment, plug the opposite end into the appropriate power source (120 V or 240 V).

CAUTION: When the optional power adapter is in use, make sure that the power supply cord does not create a safety hazard. Keep it out of the way of traffic and moving parts. If the power supply cord or power conversion module is damaged, it must be replaced.

The control console functions differently when the power adapter is connected. Because the power adapter provides a constant source of power, a user can pause for brief periods without initiating shutdown procedures. When the pause time limit expires and the user has not resumed exercising, the console returns to the Welcome screen. The default pause time is 30 seconds for all fitness equipment. Refer to the manual for your control console for instructions on setting or changing the pause time limit. To learn how to install the power adapter, refer to The Optional Power Adapter Kit.

The Optional Power Adapter Kit

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.

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.

Important: If this equipment includes a P80 console, the optional power adapter and the internal cable kit must still be installed to provide continuous power to the base unit and support its internal battery.

Once the internal cable kit is installed, you can plug the optional power adapter into the equipment. Plug the opposite end into the appropriate power source for your equipment (120 V or 240 V). Review the safety instructions found at the beginning of this manual before using the power adapter.

Replacing the Battery

The equipment's 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 equipment contains hazardous materials and must be disposed of according to Hazardous Waste Regulations. Refer to Hazardous Materials and Proper Disposal.

Maintenance

To keep the equipment functioning properly, perform the minor maintenance tasks at the intervals shown in this section. Failure to maintain the equipment as described in this section could void the Precor Limited Warranty.

DANGER

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always disconnect the equipment from its power source before cleaning it or performing any maintenance tasks. If the equipment is self-powered but also uses the optional power adapter, disconnect the adapter.

Daily Cleaning

Precor recommends that you clean the equipment before and after each exercise session. To remove dust and dirt from the equipment, wipe all exposed surfaces with a soft cloth that you have moistened with one of the following cleaners:

• A solution of 30 parts of water to 1 part of Simple Green® (for more information, visit www.simplegreen.com)
