BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
CHECK FACILITIES PREPAREDNESS
For a proper installation, please read this guide thoroughly and follow the instructions. Star Trac’s goal is to help you have
a successful and reliable installation, for this reason we have come up with some helpful tips and check list to accomplish
this goal.
EQUIPMENT LAYOUT
Check to see that the equipment you will be adding the PVS to are place where they will be used. It is recommended that
you follow your installation guides for each one of your Star Trac pieces of equipment in making sure that there is ample
space around them to insure a safe and enjoyable experience.
INPUT SIGNAL
In the world of entertainment today you have many choices. Star Trac recommends you know what type of video signal
(cable, analogue, digital, satellite, antenna) is in the club facility and if it has a good signal. Don’t forget every installation
is different. Check to see that you have ample video coaxial cable connections to the locations where the PVS will be
installed.
CABLING
When Radio Frequency signals travel through cabling the signal will degrade over distance. Connectors may degrade the
signal as well. Check each output before connecting to your PVS and make sure you have a clean strong signal to insure
an enjoyable experience. The Star Trac PVS requires a minimum signal strength of 45dBmV for analogue channels, and
40% for digital channels. Your club may require signal amplifiers to achieve a good strong signal. Star Trac recommends
you use a qualified installer for your Audio Visual needs.
ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLES
The Personal Viewing Screen requires a plug-in 60 watt power supply to operate (included). Check with your club facility
to ensure ample electrical receptacles are placed next to the equipment for a safe and proper install. Check with your con-
tractor to make sure you have enough power.

FAQ’S AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Your Star Trac Personal Viewing Screen is designed with little maintenance in mind and rarely should
you experience a problem once it is installed. However, you may find the cleaning and troubleshoot-
ing information in this section useful.
We will also explain how to replace the headphone jack when it no longer provides good audio quality.
Cleaning the Personal Viewing Screen
Periodically dust the Personal Viewing Screen with a clean soft cloth.
For your Star Trac Cardio equipment, refer to the owners manual for daily cleaning instructions and
cautions information.
Caution: DO NOT use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners to clean screen. DO NOT
use any solvents such as alcohol and paint thinner, or any acidic cleaners to clean
screen. This will void the warrenty.
Each week or as needed, clean the Center Console keypad with a mild soap and water solution.
Lightly dampen a clean cloth with the solution and wipe the keypad. Do not use too much solution on
the cloth or spray cleaning solution onto the center console. Doing this could cause moisture to enter
the controller and cause damage.
