CHAPTER 2: Setup
2.5 ADJUSTING THE SEAT
RECUMBENT BIKE R1xLS
While seated on the R1xLS, an optimum position will allow movement through
the bottom of the stroke without locking the knees or shifting in the seat. The
knees should have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension.
If the seat needs to be adjusted, lift the spring-loaded seat lever on the right
side of the seat to make adjustments. Slide the seat forward or backward to
desired location. Release the spring-loaded seat lever and gently attempt to
rock forward and backward to assure it is locked in place. Check the seat
distance again and re-adjust it if necessary.
UPRIGHT BIKE U1xLS
To determine whether or not the seat requires adjustment, sit on it and place
the foot ankle on the pedals. The knee should bend slightly when the pedal is
at the lowest point of its rotation. It should be possible to pedal without
locking the knees or shifting in the seat. The U1xLS features a vertical ratchet
seat adjustment system, which makes it easy and safe to change the height of
the seat quickly.
To raise the seat, pull the seat upward to the desired height, and let it lock in
place. Test and re-adjust the seat height as necessary.
To lower the seat, first get off the bike. Holding the seat, pull out the seat
post knob. Let the seat slide down to the desired height and release the
seat post knob. Test and re-adjust the seat height as necessary.

2.6 SELF POWERED FEATURES
On the bikes, the user’s pedaling generates the power to initialize and display
information on the monitor. A minimum of 30 RPM (revolutions per minute) is
required to start and maintain enough power to keep the monitor functional.
If the minimum RPM is not maintained, the monitor will begin to shutdown.
The U1xLS and R1xLS are able to extend time to display the monitor, at the
minimum RPM not maintained, if the bikes are equipped with the battery.
The bike saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode whenever
PEDAL FASTER appears on the display.
NOTE
: The battery is not equipped with the bike for a standard specification.
If your bike equipped with the battery receives inconsistent use, or long time
periods between use, the battery may require recharging. The adapter is an
optional accessory for recharging the unit. To purchase the optional battery
and adapter please contact Matrix Fitness or your local dealer.
SYMPTOMS OF A LOW BATTERY
If the bike has not been used for an extended period of time, the battery may
require recharging. Symptoms of a low battery can include:
• A “LOW BATTERY” message will appear on the monitor
• Backlighting on the LCD display will be disabled
• No one uses the bike for an extended period of time.
If the battery must be recharged, use the optional power adapter charging
unit. The charger should be connected to the bike 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 extinct. Please check with an
authorized service technician for replacing the battery.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
The unit’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.
CAUTION
: The battery stored inside the unit contains hazardous materials to
the environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by the law.
