ElECTRICAl REqUIREMENTS
The Matrix S5x-04 Stepper can be operated without power; however, the machine must boot the software with each new user. This can mean
a delay of up to 35 seconds while the machine's operating system prepares for a workout. It's similar to turning your cell phone on for the first
time of the day. These units can also be AC powered. This will power the console at all times and requires no minimum RPM for operation. A
powered product lowers the starting resistance and is easier to use for beginners. These units can be daisy chained together, up to 3 units per
dedicated 15 amp circuit, using a Matrix daisy chain cord adapter (sold separately). note: If an add on TV (using a bracket) is added to the
unit, it must be plugged in, or the TV will not operate correctly. If the Stepper will be plugged in, follow the requirements below.
For your safety and the performance of your Matrix product, the ground on your circuits must be non-looped. Please refer to NEC article 210-21
and 210-23. Any alterations to the standard Matrix power cords will void all warranties. If plugged in, your stepper is provided with a power cord
with a plug listed below and requires the listed outlet.
The S5x-04 Stepper saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode whenever STEP FASTER appears on the display. If the user
does not maintain a step rate above 35 steps per minute, then a 30 second shutdown process begins. When the battery voltage is low, LOW
BATTERY appears on the display if the unit is moving into the shutdown mode. The following situation is the time to recharge the battery:
* If no one has used the unit for an extended period of time, the battery may need recharging.
* The unit continues to function with a low battery, however, user and program information is lost once the user stops.
gRoUNDINg INSTRUCTIoNS:
The Matrix Stepper must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. The Stepper is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If the
user does not follow these grounding instructions, the user could void the Matrix limited warranty.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
if the user is in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by an electrician.
If the battery must be recharged, use the optional power adapter
charging unit. The charger should be connected to the Stepper
for a minimum of eight hours to ensure a thorough charge. After
a completion of charge, the battery light turns from red into green
(see illustration). If LOW BATTERY still appears on the display with
a fully charged battery, the battery could be extinct. Please check
with an authorized service technician for replacing the battery.
CAUTIoN
The battery stored inside the unit contains materials hazardous to the
environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by law.
