Setting Up Your Rower
Powering Unit
The R100 has the capacity to run on AC adaptor (ONLY USE A 6v 800mA Adaptor) or 4 C
batteries. To prevent damaged to the electronics, it is recommended to only use one power method
at a time with the R100 rower. Once a power source is connected, the computer will turn on
automatically. If unit goes into a “sleep mode” press any key or pull on the pull strap to activate
computer.
Note: Only use the appropriate power source, never use an adapter that is not certified for the unit, a
wrong adapter or bad batteries will cause the electronics to overheat and malfunction voiding the
warranty.
AC Adaptor Power
Attach the power cord jacket into the power socket on the main frame before plugging the power
cord plug into the wall outlet. Flip the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. "0" sign is for OFF; "I" sign
is for ON.
Battery Power
Remove the battery cover on the top of the fan and install four size C 1.5v batteries. Make sure that
the batteries are correctly positioned and properly installed. Reinstall the battery cover. Estimated
battery life is approximately three months under normal use; if the batteries are low, next to the pulse
display a battery symbol will flash when they need to be replaced.
Note: Never mix old and new batteries and never mix different brand of batteries. If unit is going to
be stored for a long period of time, it is mandatory to remove the batteries to prevent damaging the
electrical system.
Note: Display sleep mode: If user stops rowing and there is no RPM or pulse detected for 4 minutes,
the display will shut down and enter a “sleep mode.” To resume, simply press a button on the
console or begin to row. User work out data will be stored in the computer for up to 10 minutes, if
user does not return to work out within this time all data readouts will return to 0.
