SELF POWERED FEATURES:
On the Matrix E1x Elliptical Trainer, the users pedaling generates the power to initialize and display information on the console. A minimum of
30 RPMs is required to start and maintain enough power to keep the console functional. If the minimum RPMs are not maintained, the console
will begin to shut down. The elliptical trainer is able to extend the time to show a display on the console if the elliptical trainer is equipped with
an optional battery (Figure A).
SYMPTOMS OF A LOW BATTERY
If the elliptical trainer has not been used for an extended period of time, the battery may require recharging. Symptoms of a low battery include:
1) A "LOW BATTERY" message will appear on the display.
2) Backlighting on the LCD display will be disabled.
3) No one has used the elliptical trainer for an extended period of time.
4) The elliptical trainer powers off immediately after the user stops pedaling.
If the battery must be recharged, use the optional power adaptor to charge the unit. The charger should be connected to the elliptical trainer for
a minimum of eight hours to ensure a thorough charge. If "LOW BATTERY" still appears on the display after full charging, the battery could be
expired and should be replaced.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
The unit's battery is built to last for a long time. However, if you feel the battery may need replacing, it is located behind a plate on the back
side of the console (Figure B).
CAUTION: The battery stored inside the console contains hazardous materials to the environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by
law.
