IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

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

cautions 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

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 lead­in 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 touch-

ing such power lines or circuits, as
contact with them might be fatal.

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

• 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 ASSEMBLE YOUR TELEVISION

1. Remove the three Screws (A) from the
Console Cover (B) on your treadmill or
incline trainer. Discard the Console
Cover. Do not discard the Screws.

2. Have a second person hold the TV
Console (C) near the Console Back (D).
Connect the TV Cable (E) in the TV
Console to the TV Cable (F) in the
Console Back.

Connect the Wire Harness (G) in the
TV Console (C) to the Wire Harness (H)
in the Console Back (D). See the inset

drawing. The connectors should
slide easily and snap into place. If

they do not, turn one connector and try
again. IF THE CONNECTORS ARE

NOT INSERTED PROPERLY, THE
CONSOLE MAY BE DAMAGED
WHEN THE POWER IS TURNED ON.

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 treadmill or incline trainer 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 lead-in 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 front of
the treadmill or incline trainer 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 front of
the treadmill
or incline
trainer near
the floor.

Note: Due to an FCC requirement, analog
signals may no longer be broadcast over the
air 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.
