So you've got your brand new Hydrow rower and you're ready to get started? Fantastic! But before you can conquer the virtual waters, you need to know how to power up your machine. This quick guide will walk you through the simple steps of turning on your Hydrow, getting you on the water in minutes.
Powering Up Your Hydrow: The Basics
Turning on your Hydrow is incredibly straightforward. There's no complicated setup or hidden buttons. Here's what you need to do:
Step 1: Check the Power Cord
First, ensure your Hydrow is properly plugged into a functioning electrical outlet. The power cord should be securely connected to both the rower and the wall socket. A loose connection could prevent the machine from turning on.
Step 2: Locate the Power Button
The power button is located on the bottom left side of the monitor screen. It's a small, discreet button but easily identifiable.
Step 3: Press and Hold
Simply press and hold the power button. You'll know it's working when you see the Hydrow logo appear on the screen. This process may take a few seconds. Be patient!
Step 4: Wait for the Boot-Up
Once the Hydrow logo appears, the machine will begin its boot-up sequence. This usually involves a quick software check and then you'll be presented with the main Hydrow interface. This process might take a minute or two depending on your internet connection speed.
Troubleshooting: My Hydrow Won't Turn On!
If you've followed these steps and your Hydrow still won't turn on, here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Check the Power Cord Again: Make absolutely sure the power cord is firmly plugged into both the rower and the wall outlet. Try a different outlet to rule out a faulty socket.
- Check the Circuit Breaker: Sometimes, a tripped circuit breaker can prevent your Hydrow from powering on. Check your home's circuit breaker box to ensure everything is okay.
- Examine the Power Supply: Look for any visible damage to the power cord or the power supply unit itself. If you notice any fraying, damage, or unusual smells, contact Hydrow support immediately.
- Contact Hydrow Support: If you've tried all the above steps and your Hydrow still refuses to turn on, it's best to contact Hydrow customer support. They can diagnose the problem and provide further assistance.
