HOW TO USE THE QUICK START MODE
Plug in the power cord or begin pedalling to
1
activate the console.
If the recumbent bike has a Basic console, it can
be used with or without the included power cord.
To use the power cord, see HOW TO CON-
NECT THE POWER CORD on page 7. To use
the recumbent bike without the power cord,
begin pedalling at a cadence of about 20 revolu-
tions per minute (RPM) or faster. After a moment,
the console displays will light and a series of
tones will sound. While you pedal, power will be
supplied by a generator; remember to continue
pedalling while using the recumbent bike.
If the recumbent bike has a Workout TV con-
sole, the power cord must be used for the TV
to be operated.
