5. The Console (4) can be operated with four 1.5V
“D” batteries (not included); alkaline batteries are
recommended. IMPORTANT: If the elliptical

exerciser has been exposed to cold tempera­tures, allow it to warm to room temperature
before inserting batteries into the Console. If
you do not do this, the console displays or
other electronic components may become
damaged. Remove the two screws from the

back of the console, and remove the battery
cover. Insert four batteries into the Console.

your local Sears store. To avoid damaging
the console, use only a manufacturer-sup­plied power supply. Plug one end of the power

supply into the jack on the Console; plug the
other end into an outlet installed in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
