HOW TO CONNECT YOUR EXERCISE EQUIPMENT

CONNECT THE POWER CORD

Before using your exercise equipment with
the Workout TV console, make sure that the
power cord is properly connected as
described in your exercise equipment user’s
manual.

CONNECT A CATV CABLE

A CATV cable must be connected to your
exercise equipment for cable TV stations to
be viewed. Locate the cable jack on your
exercise equipment, and connect a CATV
cable to the cable jack.

A satellite TV box, VCR, or DVD player can
also be connected to your exercise equip­ment. Connect a CATV cable from the coaxi­al output on your satellite TV box, VCR, or
DVD player (usually labeled TV OUT or RF
OUT) to the cable jack. Note: Audio/video
equipment without coaxial outputs requires
an RF modulator to operate with your exer­cise equipment. RF modulators and external
CATV cables are not available from
FreeMotion Fitness, but are available at elec­tronics stores. See the user's manual includ­ed with the audio/video equipment you wish
to connect to see whether an RF modulator
is needed.
