ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Matrix Stepper has different electrical requirements depending on the model chosen. The chart below should assist you with your
facility planning:
3x / 5x: These products are designed to be self powered and do not require an external power supply source to operate. However,
these units can be AC powered if an optional power cord is purchased. This will power the console at all times and requires no
minimum RPM for operation. These units can be daisy-chained together, up to 4 units per dedicated 15 amp circuit, using a Matrix
daisy-chain cord adapter (sold separately).
3xe / 7x / 7xe: These products must be AC powered. These units can be daisy-chained together, up to 4 units per dedicated 15 amp
circuit, using a Matrix daisy-chain cord adapter (sold separately).
For your safety and for 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.
DEDICATED CIRCUIT AND ELECTRICAL INFO
All Matrix units require the use of a 15 amp or 20 amp “dedicated circuit,” with a non-looped (isolated) neutral/ground, for the power
requirement. Quite simply this means that each outlet you plug into should not have anything else running on that same circuit. The
easiest way to verify this is to locate the main circuit breaker box, and turn off the breaker(s) one at a time. Once a breaker has been
turned off, the only thing that should not have power to it are the units in question. No lamps, vending machines, fans, sound systems,
or any other item should lose power when you perform this test.
Non-looped (isolated) neutral/grounding means that each circuit must have an individual neutral/ground connection coming from it,
and terminating at an approved earth ground. You cannot “jumper” a single neutral/ground from one circuit to the next.
In addition to the dedicated circuit requirement, the proper gauge wire must be used from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet that
will have the maximum number of units running off of it. If the distance from the circuit breaker box, to each outlet, is 100 ft or less,
then 12 gauge wire may be used. For any distance greater than 100 ft from the circuit breaker box to the outlet, 10 gauge wire must
be used.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. If a unit should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical
current to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This product 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 local
codes and ordinances.
Connect this exercise product to a properly grounded outlet only.
Never operate product with a damaged cord or plug even if it is working properly. Never operate any product if it appears
damaged, or has been immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech Support for replacement or repair.
WARNING
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if you are 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 a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 110-120 Volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug in the illustration. Make
sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this
product.
This product must be used on a dedicated circuit. To determine if you are on a dedicated circuit, shut off the power to that circuit and
observe if any other devices lose power. If so, move devices to a different circuit.

BASIC OPERATION
BATTERY CHARGE (3X, 5X ONLY)
The 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 after a full charge, the battery could be extinct. Please check with an
authorized service technician for replacing the battery.
CAUTION: The battery stored inside the unit contains hazardous materials to the environment. Proper disposal of the battery is
required by the local law.

Our equipment is heavy, use care and additional help if
necessary when moving. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in injury.
LEVELING THE UNIT
Locate a level, stable surface to position the Stepper. The Stepper
has leveling feet located under the foot support. If your Stepper
wobbles in the location where you intended to use it, loosen the lock
nut on the adjusting foot and adjust the feet until stable. Once level,
lock the adjusting feet by tightening the lock nut to the frame.
LOCATION OF THE UNIT
Place the unit on a level and stable surface. There should be 2 feet of clearance behind
the unit and one foot in front for the power cord. Do not place the unit in any area that
will block any vent or air openings. These products should not be located in a garage,
covered patio, near water or outdoors.
Never operate product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, if it has been damaged, or immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech
Support for examination and repair.
FOOT POSITIONING
Your unit offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forward most position of the foot pad increases your step height,
which will create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height and
creates more of a gliding feel, similar to a smooth walk or run. Always make sure your entire foot is secured on the foot pad. The pedal
motion is dependent.
POWER
If your unit is powered by a power supply, the power must be plugged into the power
jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the stabilizer tube. Some units have
a power switch, located next to the power jack. Make sure it is in the ON position. Unplug
cord when not in use. NOTE: Some units have an ON/OFF switch located behind
the console.
WARNING
WARNING
MOUNTING THE STEPPER
1. Stand behind the unit.
2. While holding both of the rear arm handles, place one foot on
the corresponding footpad. Wait until the footpad comes to a
stop at the bottom of the stroke.
3. Then place your other foot on the opposite pedal.
USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical
device. While heart rate grips can provide a relative
estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be
relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some
people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may
benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring
system like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors,
including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy
of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is
intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart
rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
PULSE GRIPS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse
handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate
to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds)
for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse
handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may
elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You
may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the
grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to
ensure proper contact can be maintained.

WIRELESS HEART RATE RECEIVER
When used in conjunction with a wireless chest transmitter, your heart rate can be transmitted wirelessly to the unit and displayed
on the console.
Prior to wearing the wireless chest transmitter on your chest, moisten the two rubber electrodes with water. Center the chest strap
just below the breast or pectoral muscles, directly over your sternum, with the logo facing out. NOTE: The chest strap must be tight
and properly placed to receive an accurate and consistent readout. If the chest strap is too loose, or positioned improperly, you may
receive an erratic or inconsistent heart rate readout.
