Warning Symbols: General Safety Guidelines: Refer to the included T5/T5XR Shipping and Setup Guide for detailed unpacking and setup instructions. Ensure adequate space around the unit: at least 61 cm (24 inches) on the sides and 30 cm (12 inches) in front and back. Allow more space if using a wheelchair. The T5/T5XR is designed for internal power but may require the AC adapter for low-intensity workouts (below 60 steps/minute). The AC adapter jack is located on the front of the unit. Key components include the console, grab ring, arm, arm lock lever, armrest, foot pedal, stride lock, seat adjustment levers, and leveling feet. The Stride Lock® feature allows you to lock the arms and pedals for stability during entry and exit, and for easier seat and arm adjustments. To use: Note: Do not use the Stride Lock while the arms and pedals are in motion. Follow these steps to get started: Ensure your legs and arms are slightly bent when fully extended for optimal biomechanics. Avoid overextending. Pull the rear rotation adjustment lever to rotate the seat for easier entry and exit. The seat rotates 360° and locks at 45° intervals. Release the foot pedal lock and set the angle in one of three positions. The NuStep T5 console features an auto on/off function. Simply moving the arm handles or foot pedals will turn the console on. It will automatically shut down after three minutes of inactivity. Pressing any button or moving the arms/pedals will initiate the Quick Start program. The NuStep T5 offers several workout programs: Access cumulative product statistics, user statistics, and individual workout data through the Manager Mode. To export data: Cumulative Product Statistics: Displays overall product usage, software version, etc. Cumulative User Statistics: Shows a summary of usage for all users. User Tracking: Displays and allows export of the last 200 individual workouts. You can enable User Tracking in Manager Mode to input a Personal Identification Number (PIN) for each workout. The Data Logging feature, when enabled in Manager Mode and with a USB flash drive connected, saves incremental workout data every 20 seconds. This data is exported as a comma-delimited text file named 'user.txt'. Manager Mode allows authorized personnel to change factory default settings. To enter Manager Mode: Within the Usage Menu, you can view statistics, change factory defaults, restore defaults, or access diagnostic data. The NuStep T5/T5XR is designed for low maintenance. Regular cleaning is recommended to prolong product life. * Use a non-abrasive spray cleaner and a soft cloth for cleaning. The serial number can be found on the bottom right rear of the unit or on the console display. The unit's serial number label on the bottom right rear of the unit contains regulatory information, including: Step 1: Identify the problem. Understand the nature of the issue reported by the user. Step 2: Verify the problem. Inspect the cross-trainer and determine if replacement parts are needed.

Electromagnetic propagation is affected by the absorption and reflection of structures, objects, and people. Note 3: This equipment complies with IEC 60601-1-2, Section 8.10, Table 9 regarding immunity to RF fields. Note 4: If high ESD levels occur, they will not affect basic safety or basic performance. Note 1: High ESD levels, even if they occur, will not affect basic safety or basic performance. Note 2: UT is the a.c. supply voltage prior to application of the test load. US FCC Compliance Statement: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: IEC/EN 55011 Compliance Statement: This equipment complies with IEC/EN 55011 Group 1, Class B. Group 1 includes all equipment in which the RF energy is intentionally generated and used in the form of electromagnetic radiation for material treatment. Class B equipment is suitable for use in domestic establishments and in domestic building connected directly to the low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes. Trademarks: The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc. NuStep, LLC's use of these marks is under license. Other trademarks and trade names are those of their respective owners. Brake System: The T5/T5XR models feature both speed-dependent and non-speed-dependent brake resistance, depending on the program type. Target Heart Rate, Constant Speed, Constant Power, and Exercise Protocol programs are speed-dependent. All other programs are non-speed-dependent. Refer to the Program Overview section for program descriptions. Step Action: The T5/T5XR models feature a step action with a step range of 5 to 21.5 cm (2 to 8.5 inches). Watt Test Parameter Display: The displayed wattage represents the user's energy expenditure. Wattage is calculated in real-time based on workout conditions. This calculation is based on a formula derived from the machine's mechanical parameters and actual test data on how the user rides. Key mechanical parameters influencing this calculation include the inertia of each moving part, the resistance level setting, and the rotational speed of the hybrid brake generator. The formula was validated by comparing the displayed values with measured power generated by multiple users of various ages, weights, and genders, using an average 8-inch step. The comparison of displayed values and measured values was performed at 7 step speeds ranging from 40 to 160 steps per minute for each of the 15 resistance levels. The displayed wattage is not affected by body parameters such as weight.Safety Precautions

Tests IEC 60601 Test Level Compliance Level Electromagnetic Environment Guidance Conducted RF disturbance 3 Vrms 3 Vrms Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the NuStep T5 Recumbent Cross-Trainer, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the transmission frequency. Recommended separation distance: d = 1.2 √P (for 80 MHz to 800 MHz). d = 2.3 √P (for 800 MHz to 2.7 GHz). P is the maximum rated power of the transmitter in Watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in meters (m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an on-site electromagnetic survey, should be less than the applicable RF compliance level. Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol: [symbol of radiating waves]. Radiated RF disturbance 3 V/m 3 V/m Floors should be of wood, concrete or ceramic tile. If the floor is covered with synthetic material, the relative humidity should be at least 30%. The quality of the mains power supply should be that of a typical commercial or hospital environment. Harmonic Emissions Class B NuStep T5 Recumbent Cross-Trainer uses RF energy only for its internal function. Therefore, its RF emissions are very low and unlikely to cause interference with nearby electronic equipment. NuStep T5 Recumbent Cross-Trainer is suitable for use in all establishments. Voltage Fluctuations/Flicker Emissions Not applicable (for rated power up to 75 W). Voltage fluctuations are unlikely to cause significant issues. The quality of the mains power supply should be that of a typical commercial or hospital environment. EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) Table (Continued)
