CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 BEFORE GETTING STARTED
The Matrix S7xe-03 Stepper is intended for commercial use. To
ensure your safety and protect the equipment, read all instructions
before operating the stepper.
CHOOSING A SITE
The site should be well lit and well ventilated. Locate the Matrix
S7xe-03 Stepper on a structurally solid and flat surface. The
Stepper should have a clearance of 24" on the back side from the
wall or other equipment. This zone is to allow easy access to the
Stepper and gives the user an easy exit path from the machine.
If the site has a heavy plush carpet, to protect the carpeting and
machinery, you should place a rigid plastic base under the unit.
Please do not place the Matrix S7xe-03 Stepper in an area of high
humidity, such as the vicinity of a steam room, indoor pool, or sauna.
Exposure to intensive water vapor or chlorine could adversely affect
the electronics, as well as other parts of the machine.
2.2 READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure your safety and protect the equipment, read all
instructions before operating the Matrix S7xe-03 Stepper.
To ensure proper use of the Stepper, make sure that all users
read this manual. Remind the users that before undertaking any
fitness program, they should obtain complete physical examinations
from their physicians. If, at any time while exercising, the user
experiences dizziness, pain, or shortness of breath, nausea or feels
faint, he or she must stop immediately.
* This stepper is only to be used for its intended purpose described in
this manual. Do not use attachments that have not been recommended
by Matrix.
* Never drop or insert objects into any opening. Keep hands away
from moving parts. If the item cannot be reached, contact a Matrix

CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2.3 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Matrix S7xe-03 Stepper must be AC powered. This will power the console at all times and requires no minimum RPM for operation. A
powered product lowers the starting resistance and is easier to use for beginners. These units can be daisy chained together, up to 3 units per
dedicated 15 amp circuit, using a Matrix daisy chain cord adapter (sold separately).
For your safety and the performance of your Matrix product, the ground on your circuits must be non-looped. Please refer to NEC article 210-21
and 210-23. Any alterations to the standard Matrix power cords will void all warranties. If plugged in, your stepper is provided with a power cord
with a plug listed below and requires the listed outlet.
The S7xe-03 Stepper saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode whenever STEP FASTER appears on the display. If the user
does not maintain a step rate above 35 steps per minute, then a 30 second shutdown process begins. When the battery voltage is low, LOW
BATTERY appears on the display if the unit is moving into the shutdown mode. The following situation is the time to recharge the battery:
* If no one has used the unit for an extended period of time, the battery may need recharging.
* The unit continues to function with a low battery, however, user and program information is lost once the user stops.
If the battery must be recharged, use the optional power adapter
charging unit. The charger should be connected to the Stepper
for a minimum of eight hours to ensure a thorough charge. After
a completion of charge, the battery light turns from red into green
(see illustration). If LOW BATTERY still appears on the display with
a fully charged battery, the battery could be extinct. Please check
with an authorized service technician for replacing the battery.
CAUTION
The battery stored inside the unit contains materials hazardous to the
environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by law.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
The Matrix Stepper must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to reduce the risk of electric shock. The Stepper is equipped with a cord having an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If the
user does not follow these grounding instructions, the user could void the Matrix limited warranty.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
if the user is in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by an electrician.
CONSOLE POWER
The Matrix Stepper console has a battery that makes it self powered. This means that even if the unit is not plugged in, the console may still
have power for up to 12 hours. If the console power needs to be reset or turned off, press and hold the CHANNEL UP and CHANNEL DOWN
keys for 3-5 seconds until the console turns off. The console power will also need to be reset if settings are changed in Manager, Engineering,
or Service Modes.
