TELEVISION TROUBLESHOOTING

You can solve most television problems by following the steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and follow the steps listed. If you need further assistance, please see the front cover of this manual.

PROBLEM:

Television reception is poor.

SOLUTION:

a.Check for the problems listed below and follow the applicable instructions.

•Ignition (black spots or horizontal streaks that appear or a picture that flutters or drifts)— Usually this is caused by interference from auto- mobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drifts, or other electric appliances. Try changing the position of the elliptical exerciser or other electric appliances to correct the problem. Make sure the elliptical exerciser is plugged into its own electrical circuit.

•Ghosts—Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths—one is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects.

•Blue Screen—If the elliptical exerciser is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is weak, the picture may be of poor quality or a blue screen may appear.

Note: If one of these symptoms appears when the cable from a cable company is connected, the symptom may be caused by the local company sig- nal reception. Contact the local cable company.

PROBLEM:

No display appears in the CONSOLE mode and no picture appears in the TV mode.

SOLUTION:

a.Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a properly grounded outlet. Also make sure that the power cord is securely connected to the jack on the front of the elliptical exerciser.
