The HOIST® LeMond® Series RC was specifically designed to be easy to use, reliable and maintenance
free. However, certain common problems that may arise are addressed in the following TROUBLE-
SHOOTING guide. Should the symptom not be resolved after consulting this section, please contact our
HOIST® Fitness Customer Service Department at (+1) 858-578-7676 between the hours of 7:00 AM - 4:30
PM (PST), Monday - Friday, for assistance.
PROBLEM:
Display console doesn’t light up.
SOLUTION:
If the bike has been out of use for an extended period of time the battery may
have discharged over time and the console will not light up when you begin
pedaling. Begin pedaling the bike to recharge the battery.
SOLUTION:
If the display console still doesn’t light up after attempting the previous solution,
you may need to replace the rechargeable battery. The longevity of rechargeable
batteries varies depending on frequency and type of use, as well as exposure to higher
than typical ambient temperatures typically found within your home. The HOIST®
LeMond® Series RC is equipped with a special Lithium-Ion battery. Never replace it
with anything other than HOIST approved battery. Doing so will damage your electron-
ics and void your warranty. Contact HOIST Fitness Product Support for a replacement
battery if needed.
PROBLEM:
No heart rate signal is displayed on the console or heart rate reading is erratic or
inconsistent.
SOLUTION:
If using a heart rate chest strap:
Make certain that you are using a 5 KHz Polar compatible Heart Rate strap and
that it is being worn correctly. When worn correctly the rubber electrodes of the
strap are flat against the skin.
The electrodes must be sufficiently moist before heart rate can be accurately de-
tected by the console. Removing the chest strap and re-wetting the electrodes
will frequently solve the problem.
Make sure the chest strap transmitter is within three feet of the display console.
Heart rate chest straps emit a low-level radio signal that is detected by the display
console of the HOIST® LeMond® Series RC. Interference from other radio or sound
waves such television sets, DVD players, cell phones, computers, or loudspeakers can
cause erratic readings. Moving your bike away from such interference may eliminate
this problem.
