Installation Instructions Before attempting to install the CAB start by making sure that the cable/satellite box is properly hooked up to the screen and you have a picture on the screen. If you do not have picture make sure that you are on the appropriate input or channel (usually 3 or 4) before proceeding to the next step.

Once the CAB is hooked up you will need to run the IR emitter cable down the machine to the base of the cardio. There it will connect to either the set top box or a cat5/6 cable for sending the signal to an AV closet. Tip: since the IR wire is very thin and easily damaged it is better to run the emitter wire through the machine (see page 5 for a wire management example).

If the set top boxes are located in another room, the supplied cat5 adapters will allow you to use a standard cat5/6 wire from each cardio machine to pass the IR signal back to the AV closet. IR emitter shields are included with each CAB in order to help protect the emitter and keep it in place.

Troubleshooting Guide: 1. Double button presses – Some set top boxes respond to more than one of the IR codes that we send out. If you notice that pressing a channel button on the console results in multiple presses, simply remove the 2 screws that hold the lid on the CAB and turn on dip switch 2 and 4.

e. No Continuity between CAB and IR emitter – In some circumstances utilizing the “Far” set top box scenario, the CAT5/6 cable between the set top box and the CAB may not provide full continuity through wall plates etc. It may be helpful to re-locate the STB at the base of the cardio and re-test.
