The True RES700-17 recumbent bike requires a power adapter with 110V AC input and 9V DC 1.5Amp output. If paired with the optional touch console, it requires a power adapter with 110V AC input and 12V DC 3Amp output. Only a TRUE AC power cord or AC/DC adapter should be used, and the plug configuration may vary by country. The power cord should be kept away from heated surfaces and should not be used to pull or handle the equipment. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized service agent, or a qualified person.
