What should I do if the screen of the CARE FITNESS CV-5560 exercise bike does not turn on while it is plugged in?
Frequently Asked Questions - 27/01/2026
Response Notice-Facile

If the screen of your CARE FITNESS CV-5560 exercise bike does not turn on while it is plugged in, here’s how to diagnose and resolve the issue.

First, check the power supply. Make sure the AC adapter is properly connected to both the power source (220-240 V) and the bike's dedicated outlet. When you plug in the device, you should hear a beep and see the screen enter initial mode. If you do not hear a beep or see any display, inspect the power cable for any damage, cuts, or wear. Also, test another electrical outlet to rule out a fault with the outlet being used.

Perform a complete reset of the console. Press and hold the START/STOP button for exactly 2 seconds, regardless of the mode the screen is in. This action completely resets the computer and may resolve a display issue. Then wait about a minute, and plug the adapter back in to check if the screen turns on.

Check if the screen has not gone into automatic sleep mode. The CV-5560 has an automatic shut-off function: the screen turns off automatically after 4 minutes of inactivity (without pedaling and without a pulse signal). To reactivate the screen, simply press one of the dashboard buttons (START/STOP, UP, DOWN, ENTER, or RECOVERY) or start pedaling. The computer will turn on immediately.

If the problem persists, check the internal connections. If you are comfortable doing so, unplug the bike completely and check that all internal cables connecting the screen to the electronic board are properly connected. Ensure that no wires have been disconnected, damaged, or pinched. Reconnect all components firmly before plugging back in.

Despite these checks, if the screen still does not turn on and you do not hear any beep when plugging in, it is likely that the screen itself or the electronic board is defective. Contact CARE FITNESS Customer Service at 0820 821 167 (Monday to Friday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, except holidays) with the manufacturing number indicated on the main chassis and the packaging box.

How do I lubricate my CARE FITNESS CV-5560 exercise bike to stop the squeaking?
Frequently Asked Questions - 18/01/2026
Response Notice-Facile

To eliminate squeaks on your CARE FITNESS CV-5560 exercise bike, it is important to lubricate certain key points of the device. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Lubricating the pedals

The pedal axles can wear out or dry out, causing squeaking. Apply a suitable lubricant (such as silicone spray or light oil) to the pedal axles after cleaning them.

2. Lubricating the chain (if present)

If your model is equipped with a chain, it may be the source of the noise. Clean it and then apply a specific chain lubricant to ensure smooth and quiet operation.

3. Lubricating the resistance wheels

The axles of the resistance wheels can also squeak. After cleaning these parts, apply a light lubricant to the axles to reduce friction.

4. Checking and lubricating the frame contact points

Inspect the joints, seals, and areas where metal parts touch. A little lubricant on these points can reduce friction noises.

5. Checking the seat and handlebars

Make sure the seat and handlebars are tightly secured. If you notice any movement or friction, apply lubricant to the corresponding rods or moving parts.

Important tips:

  • Use a suitable lubricant, such as silicone spray, that does not stick and does not attract dust.
  • Avoid applying too much to prevent attracting dirt.
  • Always clean the areas before lubrication for better results.

By following these tips, you should be able to eliminate squeaks and enjoy a quieter and more pleasant exercise bike experience.

Cardio - Training:

Before programming your training, it is essential to take account of your age, particularly for people of more than 35 years of age, as well as your physical condition. If you have a sedentary lifestyle without regular physical activity, it is vital that you consult your doctor to determine the level of intensity of your training. Once determined, do not attempt to achieve your maximum during the first training sessions. Be patient; your performance will quickly improve.

This enables you to develop your cardiovascular system (fitness of the heart / blood vessels). During Cardio-Training, the muscles need a supply of oxygen and nutritive substances. They also need to liminate waste. Our heart increases its rhythm and sends a larger amount of oxygen to the body by means of the cardiovascular system.

The more often you exercise regularly and repetitively, the more your heart will develop, just like any other muscle. In daily life, this translates into the ability to bear greater physical effort and improve your intellectual faculties.

Definition of your work Zone:

The Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) = 220 - age (180 - age for sedentary people).

The Warming Up Zone and Cooling Down Zone are equal to 55% of your MHR.

The Fat Loss Zone is between 55 / 65% of your MHR.

The Aerobic Zone is between 65 / 85% of your MHR.

The Anaerobic Zone is between 85% of your MHR and your MHR.

CARE FITNESS CV-5560 - Definition of your work Zone: - 1

The progressive training stages:

1) A warming up phase:

Start each training session by warming up progressively (10-20 min, more if you are over 50) which will put your muscles on standby and gently increase your heart rate. Gently increase your pulse to 55% of your MHR (Maximum Heart Rate).

Keep your Heart Rate at this level for the duration of the warming up time. If you

begin your training too quickly, you are in danger of increasing the risk of tendon or muscle injury.

2) A work phase:

This is the main part of the training session. Depending on your specific goals and your initial physical condition, weight loss, improvement of cardiovascular resistance (aerobic work), development of stamina (anaerobic work), it is possible to choose the appropriate target zone.

The Fat Loss Zone, 55 - 65%

The heart rate must be low and the duration of the exercise quite long. This zone is advised for people resuming physical activity after a long period of idleness, who

are trying to eliminate excess weight or are susceptible to cardiac problems. Do not forget that for this type of training the duration of the exercise must be at least 30 minutes and the Heart Rate (HR) between 55 and 65% of the MHR. - Gradually increase from 30 to 60 minutes per session.

Exercise 3 or 4 times a week.

The Aerobic Zone, 65-85%

This zone is recommended for those who are in good physical condition who train regularly. By training in this zone, you will improve your physical condition but avoid overworking.

Duration: 20 to 30 minutes per session.
- Frequency: At least 3 or 4 times a week.

The Anaerobic Zone, 85% - MHR

without medical approval and supervision. This zone is designed only for very fit people. It is used for interval training (or for short sprints) to help you to improve or measure your level of stamina.

The time spent in this zone must be brief to avoid the risk of accident.

3) A cooling down phase:

This entails a reduction of exertion (10 to 20 min). It enables you to return your cardiovascular system to normal (55% of your MHR) and prevent or reduce muscular pain such as cramp and stiffness. You must follow the training with a session of stretching exercises while your joints

are still warm. This relaxes the muscles and helps to prevent stiffness. Stretch slowly and gently. You must never stretch until you reach the pain threshold. Hold each stretch for 30 to 60 seconds while breathing out.

Check your progress

As it improves, your cardiovascular system will have an HR which will be lower when at rest. You will take longer to reach your target zone and it will be easier for you to maintain it. Sessions will seem easier and easier and you will have more stamina in your daily life.

If, on the other hand, your HR is higher than usual when at rest, you will have to rest or reduce the intensity of your training.

Do not be discouraged by the initial sessions. Motivate yourself by scheduling specific training times. Work hard!
