Replacement of the monitor on your Hybrid Series rower is a relatively simple task to perform. You will need a Phillips screwdriver to perform this task.
The process is the same for any Hybrid Rower with a footboard-mounted monitor, which may have been marketed as:
- A1 QuickStart Monitor
- A1 Pro Monitor
- CR Bluetooth Monitor
As a guide, watch the video below:
Step 1
Using the Phillips screw driver, undo the top and bottom screws securing the monitor to the footboard.

Step 2
Gently lift the monitor away from the footboard, you will notice the battery pack positioned behind the monitor in the footboard and a small opening where the wiring runs through to the sensor.
Gently pull the wire and connector through the hole so you can undo the connection between the monitor and sensor.
Step 3
Once the connection has been undone, remove the batteries from the original monitor and place into the new monitor.
Step 4
Reconnect the sensor wire and monitor wire and gently feed it through the opening.
Step 5
Reposition the new monitor on the footboard so the screw holes line up and screw in the new monitor.
If, after installation, your monitor turns on but does not count down, the following points can be checked:

Item A
Confirm that the connection between sensor and monitor is attached (you do not need to undo the footboard to see the connection, gently pull the connection through the opening as you did in Step 2 above).
Item B
For models equipped with a magnetic sensor disk, verify that no circular magnets are missing.
Item C
Confirm that the sensor is close enough to the sensor disk such that motion can be detected.

Item D
Verify that the wires from the sensor are not broken — the diagram shows the position of the sensor and sensor disk. Note: The top deck in the diagram is lifted up to show the position of the sensor disk and sensor more easily – you do not need to remove the top deck.
