IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important

precautions and instructions in this manual before using your digital personal tel­evision. Hotel Fitness and FreeMotion Fitness assume no responsibility for
personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the use of this
product.

1. Before beginning any exercise pro­gram, consult your physician. This
is especially important for persons
over age 35 or persons with pre­existing health problems.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner
to ensure that all users of the per­sonal television are adequately
informed of all warnings and pre­cautions.

3. Use the personal television only as
described in this manual and in the
exercise equipment userʼs manual.

4. Keep the personal television away
from moisture and dust. Do not use

HOTEL FITNESS is a registered trademark of Hotel Fitness Club, Inc.

FREEMOTION is a registered trademark of ICON IP, Inc.

the personal television in a garage
or covered patio or near water.

5. Keep children under age 12 away
from the personal television at all
times.

6. Never insert or drop any object into
any opening on the personal televi­sion.

7. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not remove the cover or the
back of the personal television.
There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.

8. Do not store the television in tem­peratures below -40° F (-40° C) or
above 140° F (60° C). Do not oper­ate the television in temperatures
below 23° F (-5° C) or above 90° F
(35° C).

9. To protect the exercise equipment
and television during lightning
storms, unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet and disconnect
the cable system. This will prevent
damage due to lightning and power
line surges.

10. If an outside antenna or cable sys­tem is connected, make sure that
the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protec­tion against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Section 810
of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides
information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and support­ing structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna dis­charge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and require­ments for the grounding electrode.

11. An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other elec­tric light or power circuits, or where
it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or cir-

cuits, as contact with them might
be fatal.

12. Upon completion of any service or
repairs to the exercise equipment
or the television, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks
to confirm that the unit is in proper
operating condition.

2

• Use No. 10 AWG (5.3 mm

) cop­per, No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2)
aluminum, No. 17 AWG (1.0 mm2)
copper-clad steel or bronze wire,
or larger as a ground wire.

• Secure an antenna lead-in and
ground wires to the house with
stand-off insulators spaced from
4 to 6 feet (1.22 to 1.83 m) apart.

• Mount an antenna discharge unit
as close as possible to where the
lead-in enters the house.

• Use a jumper wire not smaller
than No. 6 AWG (13. 3 mm2) cop­per, or the equivalent when a
separate antenna-grounding elec­trode is used. See NEC Section
810-21 (j).

Note to CATV system installer: This
reminder is provided to call the CATV
system installerʼs attention to Article
820-40 of the NEC that provides guide­lines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as
practical.

HOW TO CONNECT YOUR TELEVISION

Before operating the television, you must connect an antenna or a 75 ohm CATV cable
to the 75 ohm terminal on the exercise equipment or an RCA component video cable to
the audio/video input jack. No antenna, adapter, CATV cable, or RCA component video

cable is included.

HOW TO CONNECT AN ANTENNA

Place an
indoor
antenna or
an outdoor
combina­tion
VHF/UHF
antenna in
the
desired
location.
Outdoor
antennas
are subject
to weathering that can reduce signal quality.
Inspect your outdoor antenna and the lead­in wiring before connecting the antenna.

75 Ohm CATV Cable

1. Connect the
75 ohm
CATV cable
from the
antenna to
the 75 ohm
terminal on
the frame of
the exercise equipment near the floor.

300 Ohm Flat Wire

1. Connect
the 300
ohm flat
wire from
the
antenna to
a 300 ohm
to 75 ohm
adapter.

2. Connect the

300 ohm to
75 ohm
adapter to
the 75 ohm
terminal on
the frame of
the exercise
equipment
near the
floor.

Note: Due to an FCC requirement, analog
signals may no longer be broadcast over the
air in the United States after June 12, 2009.
If you wish to view television signals through
an antenna after that date, you must have
an antenna capable of receiving digital sig­nals or a digital converter box. Cable
television will not be affected.
