• roperly connected to the NordicTrack and plugged fully into a grounded electrical outlet if the machine does not turn on. If the unit is plugged in correctly, look at the reset switch, located on the frame near the power cord. If the switch is flipped open, wait five minutes then push the switch back in.
• Remove the key from the console, wait a minute and reinsert the key back into the console if the buttons on the console are not functioning properly. If the console stays on when the key is taken out of the console, the device is likely still in "Demo" mode. Hold down the "Stop" button for a few seconds to turn off the "Demo" mode and restart the unit.
• Turn the machine off and unplug the machine if the console display is not working correctly. Wait a few minutes and plug the machine back into the electrical supply and turn on. The console should now operate correctly.
• Hold down the "Stop" and "Speed" buttons at the same time if the incline is not changing as desired. Insert the key into the console while holding down the buttons and then release the buttons. Press the "Stop" button and the arrows to increase or decrease the incline. This will cause the incline to recalibrate. Remove the key from the console unit.

The way to tell if your NordicTrack digital console is bad is to troubleshoot it first. If nothing works, you've got a bad console. The digital console is an important part of exercising. A manual machine will still work even if the console doesn't, but an automated machine needs the console to work so you can adjust things like speed, resistance and incline. You also can't use programs or see your time, distance or estimated calories burned without a working console. The two most common reasons that a console will be dim, display bad results, or won't turn on are bad batteries and a problem with the reed switch.

1. Replace the Batteries
   • 1 Replace the batteries first, if your machine has batteries. A manual machine such as the NordicTrack MTN 740 will not need batteries, and instead the console is powered by your moving the steps. Check your manual if you are unsure of which batteries to buy. Different machines will require different batteries. The NordicTrack Mini Stepper uses watch batteries, but larger machines will likely need AA or D batteries.
     
   • 2 Take off the cover to the battery compartment. Remove and discard the old batteries. Replace all of the batteries, not just one if you happen to have one good one. Align them correctly with the "+" and "-" signs as shown on the compartment.
     
   • 3 Replace the battery cover and attempt to turn on the console.
     
   Reset the Circuit Breaker
   • 1 Check the circuit breaker. A machine such as the NordicTrack CXT 990 will have a circuit breaker located on the front of the machine. The console will not work if the circuit breaker is tripped.
     
   • 2 Push the circuit breaker in if it protrudes until it sticks.
     
   • 3 Try to turn on the console. Check the circuit breaker for your house if this does not fix the console problem.
     
   Adjust the Reed Switch
   • 1 Inspect the reed switch as the information on the display will not be true if the reed switch is too far from the flywheel on NordicTrack machines such as the MTN 740.
     
   • 2 Unscrew the two M10 by 82mm button bolts on the right pedal bracket. Unscrew the two M10 nylon locknuts. Pull off the pedal bracket and set aside.
     
   • 3 Remove the two M4 by 38mm screws. Remove the three M4 by 25mm screws. Slide the right side shield off to expose the flywheel, magnet reed switch.
     
   • 4 Unscrew the screw that holds the reed switch in place but do not remove it. Slide the reed switch toward the flywheel but leave enough space that the magnet can move freely. Replace the shield and bracket
