IMPORTANT! Just like a real bicycle, Smart Cycle pedals are not interchangeable (there is
a left threaded pedal and a right threaded pedal). It's important to assemble the right pedal
on the right side of your Smart Cycle, and the left pedal on the left side. To help you, we’ve
stamped and labeled each pedal and pedal axle with an "R" for the right side and an "L"
for the left side. To tighten the pedals, you'll need to turn the left pedal counter-clockwise
(which is different from how you would normally tighten) and the right pedal clockwise.
Be sure to tighten both pedals firmly with the enclosed assembly.

• Fit the threaded end of the right pedal
(marked with an R) into the hole in the
right pedal axle (also marked with
an R).
• Hand-tighten the right pedal by turning
it clockwise.

Notice About Epilepsy and Seizures
PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE BEFORE YOU
OR YOUR CHILD USE ANY VIDEO GAME.
A very small portion of the population
has a condition, which may cause a
momentary loss of consciousness when
viewing certain kinds of flashing lights
or patterns that are commonly present
in our daily environment. This condition
may cause seizures while watching
some kinds of television pictures or
playing certain video games. Players
who have not had any previous seizures
may nonetheless have an undetected
epileptic condition.
If you or anyone in your family has
experienced symptoms linked to an
epileptic condition (e.g. a seizure or loss
of awareness), consult your physician
before playing video games. We recom-
mend that parents observe their children
while they play video games. If you
or your child experience any of the
following symptoms such as dizziness,
altered vision, eye or muscle twitching,
involuntary movements, loss of aware-
ness, disorientation or convulsions,
DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY and
consult your physician.
Additionally, please follow these
precautions whenever playing a
video game:
• Do not sit or stand too close to the
television screen. Play as far back
from the screen as possible.
• Do not play if you are tired or need
sleep.
• Always play in a well lit room.
• Be sure to take a 10-15 minute break
every hour while playing.

13
IMPORTANT! Your TV, VCR or DVD player
must have audio and video input jacks.
• Place the Smart Cycle®in front of your TV.
• Locate the plug-and-play cord on the front
of the cycle.
• Plug the audio-video pins into the match-
ing colored input jacks on your TV, VCR or
DVD player (Yellow for Video In, White for
Audio In).
Hint: We've included a detailed illustration to
show how to connect Smart Cycle®to a TV
or TV and VCR/DVD player. Please refer to
page 26.
