RFI — RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
Federal Communications Commission Part 15
The C846 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 C846 generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the owner’s man ual instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of the C846 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.

LIMITING THE RESISTANCE RANGE
After pressing ENTER to accept the Pause time limit, you have the option to
change the resistance range. The resistance range does not aff ect the number of
resistance settings (1 through 25) that are availab le to the user. It determines how
much resistance is felt at each resistance setting, and how big the step in resistance is from one resistance setting to the next.
The default resistant range is HIGH. It provides the full resistance available from
the cycle. When the resistance range is set to HIGH and a user chooses the highend resistance levels using the arrow keys, the cycle provides enough resistance
to simulate sprinting or hill climbing for users wishing to stand on an upright cycle.
It also provides enough resistance for elite riders that are capable of spinning at
high speed with high resistance.
The MEDIUM resistance range provides approximately two thirds of the resistance
that is availab le with the HIGH setting. The maximum resistance av ailable (a user
chooses a resistance setting of 25) is reduced and the change, in resistance from
one resistance setting to the next, is reduced. Clubs may want to select the
MEDIUM range for recumbent cycles. Since users cannot stand on a recumbent
cycle, less resistance is needed by the average (non-elite) rider. The MEDIUM
range allows an average user more comfort. It allows them to use more of the
available resistance settings and make resistance changes in the preprogrammed
courses (Hill Climb and Cross Country) easier.
The LOW resistance range provides approximately one third of the resistance
that is available with the HIGH setting. The LOW range may be appropriate in
special situations where deconditioned users are anticipated, but the LOW range
is not recommended for the normal club environment.
