  If your Schwinn Exercise Bike console isn't displaying anything, shows only a partial display, or the unit won't power on, ensure it's plugged into a working wall outlet. Check that the connection is secure and undamaged, replacing the adapter or connection if necessary. Inspect the cable for any crimped or cut wires, and replace it if damaged. Make sure the cable is securely connected and properly oriented, with the small latch on the connector lined up and snapped into place. Check the console display for cracks or damage, and replace the console if needed. If only a partial display appears and all connections are fine, replace the console.

  If your Schwinn Exercise Bike isn't displaying telemetric heart rate (HR), ensure the strap is 'POLAR®' compatible and uncoded.
