RETROSUN Exerciser Remote Control Replacement User Manual

1. Introduction

This manual provides essential instructions for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your RETROSUN remote control replacement. This remote is specifically designed for compatibility with the REPOWER XT-ME-03 Under Desk Elliptical, as well as other Electric Ellipse Leg Exercisers and Seated Pedal Exercisers.

The remote control incorporates infrared 3.0 technology, ensuring reliable communication with your exerciser. It is constructed from high-quality ABS material and features a new-generation smart chip for instant button response and a reliable operating range of up to 8 meters (26 feet). Its 120-degree wide-angle design minimizes positioning constraints, and the ergonomic curved shape is designed for comfortable use.

2. Setup

2.1 Battery Installation

The remote control requires button cell batteries for operation. Batteries are not included with the remote control and must be purchased separately. The remote typically uses a 3V Lithium button battery (e.g., CR2032).

2. Open the battery compartment cover. This may involve sliding a cover or gently prying it open with a small tool.
3. Insert the new button cell battery(ies) according to the polarity indicators (+ and -) inside the compartment. Ensure the positive (+) side faces upwards.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.
