How to Hook Up an AC Adapter to a Smart Cycle

The Fisher-Price Smart Cycle is a physical learning system that functions as a video game that a child can explore by pedaling the bike. The Smart Cycle plugs into the A/V output of your television and uses four "D" batteries to operate. You can also choose to use an A/C adaptor to avoid wasting so many batteries with your Smart Cycle. The A/C adaptor installation process may seem a little intimidating, but it is fairly simple to complete.

Things You'll Need

Phillips screwdriver
Soldering iron
6V Power adapter
Scissors
N-size DC power jack

Instructions

- 1
  Remove the screws from the base stands and from along the edge of the Smart Cycle using a Phillips screwdriver.
- 2
  Remove the batteries from the battery compartment.
- 3
  Cut the smaller connection portion of the power adaptor to access the wiring. Separate the two wires slightly.
- 4
  Connect the power jack to the battery compartment and solder the wires of the A/C adaptor to the power jack with one wire to the positive end and the other to the negative. It does not matter which wire is attached to which end.
- 5
  Reassemble the Smart Cycle and reattach the screws.
