To use the Pro-Form Carbon CX electrically instead of batteries, you can modify the console's power connection by adding a switch and wiring it to an external power source. This avoids using batteries and allows control over the display power.
Parts needed: - Wire - Alligator clip or switch - Hot glue (optional for securing wire) - External power source (not specified, but must match the console's power needs)
Note: This is a custom modification and not part of the official instructions.
