DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND ELECTRICAL INFO

A “Dedicated Circuit” means that each outlet you plug into should not have anything else running on that same circuit. The easiest way to verify this is to locate the main circuit breaker box, and turn off the breaker(s) one at a time. Once a breaker has been turned off, the only thing that should not have power to it are the units in question. No lamps, vending machines, fans, sound systems, or any other item should lose power when you perform this test. Non-looped (isolated) neutral/grounding means that each circuit must have an individual neutral/ground connection coming from it, and terminating at an approved earth ground. You cannot “jumper” a single neutral/ground from one circuit to the next. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS For your safety and to ensure good unit performance, the ground on this circuit must be non-looped (isolated). Please refer to NEC article 210-21 and 210-23. Any alterations to the standard power cord provided could void all warranties of this product. The S3x, S5x and S7xe are designed to be self powered and do not require an external power supply source to operate. Without an external power supply, the console’s start-up time may be delayed. Add-on TV’s and other console accessories will increase the time needed for start-up. An external power supply will ensure power is provided to the console at all times and is recommended when add-on accessories are used. For units with an integrated TV (like the 7xe and 7xi), the TV power requirements are included in the unit. An RG6 coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings on each end will need to be connected to the cardio unit and the video source. Additional power requirements are not needed for the add-on digital TV (3x and 5x). For units with an add-on PCTV (3x and 5x), the TV power requirements are separate. NOTE: ALL UNITS WITH VIRTUAL ACTIVE™ MUST BE POWERED! 110 V UNITS All Matrix 3x, 5x, 7xe and 7xi 110 V Steppers require the use of a 100-125 V, 60 Hz and a 15 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be a NEMA 5-15R and have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. Steppers can be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per 15 A dedicated circuit. Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately. 220 V UNITS All Matrix 3x, 5x, 7xe and 7xi 220 V Steppers require the use of a 216-250 V, 50 Hz and a 15 A “Dedicated Circuit”, with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground for power. This outlet should be a NEMA 6-15R and have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. These Steppers can be daisy-chained together with up to 4 units per dedicated 15 A circuit. Matrix daisy-chain cord adapters are sold separately. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS The unit must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The unit 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. ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL INFO In addition to the dedicated circuit requirement, the proper gauge wire must be used from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet that will have the maximum number of units running off of it. If the distance from the circuit breaker box to each outlet, is 100 ft (30.5 m) or less, then 12 gauge wire should be used. For distances greater than 100 ft (30.5 m) from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, a 10 gauge wire should be used. ENERGY SAVING / LOW-POWER MODE All units are configured with the ability to enter into an energy saving / low- power mode when the unit has not been in use for a specified period of time. Additional time may be required to fully reactivate this unit once it has entered the low-power mode. This energy saving feature may be enabled or disabled from within the ‘Manager Mode’ or ‘Engineering Mode.’ ADD-ON PCTV (3X AND 5X) A 15 A or 20 A “Dedicated Circuit” with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ ground is required. Each PCTV requires at least 1.2 A of current. No more than 12 PCTVs should be used for each 15 A circuit and no more than 16 PCTVs should be used for each 20 A circuit. The power outlet should have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. An RG6 coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings will need to be connected between the video source and each add-on PCTV unit. ADD-ON DIGITAL TV (3X AND 5X) Additional power requirements are not needed for the add-on digital TV. An RG6 coaxial cable with ‘F Type’ compression fittings will need to be connected between the video source and each add-on digital TV unit. North American power cord plugs shown. Depending on your country, the plug type may vary. 110 NEMA 5-15P PLUG 220 NEMA 6-15P PLUG POWER REQUIREMENTS

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are 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 a qualified electrician. BATTERY CHARGE (3X, 5X ONLY) The 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. 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 after a full charge, the battery could be extinct. Please check with an authorized service technician for replacing the battery. CAUTION: The battery stored inside the unit contains hazardous materials to the environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by the local law. WARNING! • Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only. • Never operate product with a damaged cord or plug even if it is working properly. Never operate any product if it appears damaged, or has been immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech Support for replacement or repair. Failure to follow these specifications can cause damage to your product and can void the warranty: • All video and power outlets must be functional the day of delivery / assembly of the product. The client is responsible for any additional installation charges associated with return visits. • Electrical supply may fluctuate in your area. To ensure stable performance of the product, use the proper gauge wire.

MOUNTING THE STEPPER

1. Stand behind the unit. 2. While holding both of the rear arm handles, place one foot on the corresponding footpad. Wait until the footpad comes to a stop at the bottom of the stroke. 3. Then place your other foot on the opposite pedal. 4. Your unit offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forward most position of the foot pad increases your step height, which will create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height and creates more of a gliding feel, similar to a smooth walk or run. Always make sure your entire foot is secured on the foot pad. The pedal motion is dependent. 5. To determine proper workout position, stand on the pedal with your foot on the center of the pedal. Keep your knees slightly bent at all times. BEFORE YOU BEGIN LOCATION OF THE UNIT Place the unit on a level and stable surface away from direct sunlight. The intense UV light can cause discoloration on the plastics. Locate your unit in an area with cool temperatures and low humidity. Please leave a clear zone behind the unit that is at least 24” (600 mm). This zone must be clear of any obstruction and provide the user a clear exit path from the machine. Do not place the unit in any area that will block any vent or air openings. The unit should not be located in a garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors. LEVELING THE EQUIPMENT Locate a level, stable surface to position the Stepper. The Stepper has leveling feet located under the foot support. If your Stepper wobbles in the location where you intended to use it, loosen the lock nut on the adjusting foot and adjust the feet until stable. Once level, lock the adjusting feet by tightening the lock nut to the frame. WARNING! Our equipment is heavy, use care and additional help if necessary when moving. Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury. POWER If your unit is powered by a power supply, the power must be plugged into the power jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the stabilizer tube. Some units have a power switch, located next to the power jack. Make sure it is in the on position. Unplug cord when not in use. WARNING! Never operate equipment if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been damaged, or immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech Support for examination and repair.

USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION

The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device. While heart rate grips can provide a relative estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician. PULSE GRIPS Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained. WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the unit and displayed on the console. Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout. WARNING! Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate. Over exercising may result in serious injury or death. If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately. Backside of chest strap Apply moisture here
