2.4 ElECTRICAl REqUIREMENTS

SElf PoWERED fEATURES:
on the Matrix R1x Bike, the users pedaling generates the power to initialize and display information on the console. A minimum of 30 RPMs are required
to start and maintain enough power to keep the console functional. If the minimum RPM is not maintained, the console will begin to shut down. The
bike is able to extend the time to show a display on the console if the bike is equipped with an optional battery (figure A). The bike saves its battery
charge by moving into a shutdown mode whenever PEDAl fASTER appears on the display.
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 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 bike for an extended period of time.
If the battery must be recharged, use the optional power adaptor to charge the 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 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.
