What Cable Please?

[CLX]

I enjoy listening to the radio through my phone app while running on my treadmill.

I've noticed that the treadmill console has speakers, so I'd like to try them, but there's nothing in the manual about that.

Anybody know if it's possible to hook my phone up (Galaxy S10) and if so, what cable and which ports do I need to use?

Thanks!

The top one looks like an output to headphones & the lower one is where you plug a player into. I'd guess both are standard 3.5mm stereo jacks but without knowing what conector your phone has (if any) it's difficult to say what cable to use. If it has a jack output then a cable like these should do it:

Yes, my phone has a jack output. Thank you for the link. I'll order one of those now and give it a go!

Looks like you could probably just plug in a USB stick with MP3s on, or something. Would be helpful to find a manual for the treadmill to work out what it needs.

Thanks. The manual just covers the operation of the treadmill itself. Nothing about the audio. Hopefully the cable I've ordered will do the trick.

I'd agree, it also looks like the USB can probably be used with a memory stick loaded with tunes as an alternative.

I believe all S10 variants have a 3.5mm jack so a simple lead with a stereo 3.5mm on rack end is all you'd need.

Great - Thanks!

Don't get your hopes up. I have a treadmill with similar functionality; it is indeed a standard 3.5mm headphone cable, and the speakers are likely to be utterly underwhelming. I found the phone speakers were better.

I'll report back when the cable comes!
