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.
