BEFORE YOU GETS TARTED

CHECK FACILITIES PREPAREDNESS

For a proper installation, please read this guide thoroughly and follow the
instructions. Star Trac’s goal is to help you have a successful and reliable installation,
for this reason we have come up with some helpful tips and check list to accomplish
this goal.

EQUIPMENT LAYOUT

Check to see that the equipment you will be adding the PVS to are place where they
will be used. It is recommended that you follow your installation guides for each one
of your Star Trac pieces of equipment in making sure that there is ample space
around them to insure a safe and enjoyable experience.

INPUT SIGNAL

In the world of entertainment today you have many choices. Star Trac recommends
you know what type of video signal (cable, analogue, digital, satellite, antenna) is in
the club facility and if it has a good signal. Don’t forget every installation is different.
Check to see that you have ample video coaxial cable connections to the locations
where the PVS will be installed.

CABLING

When Radio Frequency signals travel through cabling the signal will degrade over
distance. Connectors may degrade the signal as well. Check each output before
connecting to your PVS and make sure you have a clean strong signal to insure an
enjoyable experience. The Star Trac PVS requires a minimum signal strength of
45dBmV for analogue channels, and 40% for digital channels. Your club may
require signal amplifiers to achieve a good strong signal. Star Trac recommends you
use a qualified installer for your Audio Visual needs.

ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLES

The Personal Viewing Screen requires a plug -in 60 watt power supply to operate
(included). Check with your club facility to ensure ample electrical receptacles are
placed next to the equipment for a safe and proper install. Check with your con­tractor to make sure you have enough power.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Your Star Trac Personal Viewing Screen is designed with little maintenance in mind and rarely should you
experience a problem once it is installed. However, you may find the cleaning and troubleshooting
information in this section useful.

We will also explain how to replace the headphone jack when it no longer provides good audio quality.

Cleaning the Personal Viewing Screen

Periodically dust the Personal Viewing Screen with a clean soft cloth.
For your Star Trac Cardio equipment, refer to the owner’s manual for daily cleaning instructions and

cautions information.

Each week or as needed, clean the Center Console keypad with a mild soap and water solution. Lightly
dampen a clean cloth with the solution and wipe the keypad. Do not use too much solution on the cloth or
spray cleaning solution onto the center console. Doing this could caus e moisture to enter the controller
and cause damage.

The following information may help you understand and troubleshoot any problems that you may
encounter with your Star Trac Personal Viewing Screen. If the suggestions in this table do not help solve
the problem that you encounter please contact Star Trac’s Service Hotline at [phone], or USA 1­714-669-1660.

REGULATORY INFORMATION

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)

Federal Communications Commission, Part 15
Warning: To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose this equipment to rain,
moisture or excessive heat.

The unit has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment.

The Personal Viewing Screen generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the assembly, installation and maintenance instruction manuals,
may cause harmful interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into a separate outlet that uses a different circuit than the receiver.
