2.4 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

SELF POWERED FEATURES:

On the Matrix R1x Bike, the users pedaling generates the power to initialize and display information on the console. A minimum of 30 RPMs are required to start and maintain enough power to keep the console functional. If the minimum RPM is not maintained, the console will begin to shut down. The bike is able to extend the time to show a display on the console if the bike is equipped with an optional battery (Figure A). The bike saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode whenever PEDAL FASTER appears on the display.

SYMPTOMS OF A LOW BATTERY

If the bike has not been used for an extended period of time, the battery may require recharging. Symptoms of a low battery include:

1) A "LOW BATTERY" message will appear on the display.

2) Backlighting on the LCD display will be disabled.

3) No one has used the bike for an extended period of time.

If the battery must be recharged, use the optional power adaptor to charge the unit. The charger should be connected to the bike for a minimum of eight hours to ensure a thorough charge. If "LOW BATTERY" still appears on the display after full charging, the battery could be expired and should be replaced.

REPLACING THE BATTERY

The unit's battery is built to last for a long time. However, if you feel the battery may need replacing, it is located behind a plate on the back side of the console (Figure B).

CAUTION: The battery stored inside the console contains hazardous materials to the environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by law.

4.2 WORKOUT OVERVIEW  CONTINUED

WORKOUT TIPS

1. Matrix Fitness strongly recommends seeing your physician for a complete physical examination before beginning any fitness program. Know your physician's recommended heart rate target zone. If at any time while exercising, you experience faintness, dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, you must stop immediately.

2. It is highly recommended that you always incorporate the warm up and cool down period into your workout. Warm up brings the heart rate into the lower end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles. Cool down takes time for a user's heart rate to return to resting state after vigorous exercise and reduces the amount of lactic acid in muscle tissue.

PAUSE OPTION

On the Matrix R1x Bike, the users pedaling generates the power to initialize and display information on the console. A minimum of 30 RPMs are required to start and maintain enough power to keep the console functional. If the minimum RPM is not maintained, the console will begin to shut down. The bike is able to extend the time to show a display on the console if the bike is equipped with an optional battery.

8.5 ADJUSTING THE PEDAL STRAPS AND SEAT

ADJUSTING THE PEDAL STRAPS

The pedal straps are designed to fit your individual foot size and should be adjusted tight enough to keep your foot from slipping. The pedals include spring loaded clips for easy adjustment. To tighten the strap, pull down the open end of the strap. To loosen the strap, push down on the top of the clip and pull the strap up. Release the clip to lock the strap in place.

ADJUSTING THE R1X SEAT

While seated on the Matrix R1x Bike, an optimum position will allow movement through the bottom of the stroke without locking the knees or shifting in the seat. The knees should have a slight bend at the point of fullest leg extension.

If the seat needs to be adjusted, lift the spring loaded seat lever on the right side of the seat to make adjustments. Slide the seat forward or backward to its desired location. Release the spring loaded seat lever and gently attempt to rock forward and backward to assure it is locked in place. Check the seat distance again and re-adjust it if necessary. If the seat is wobbly or loose, tighten the seat roller brackets using the procedure outlined in Section 6.7
