Pausing Your Workout
You can pause any time during your workout. Use this feature to rest or take a short
break. To pause while working out, simply stop moving the foot pedals. You can tell that
you are in Pause mode because Time stops accruing.
To resume your workout, begin moving the foot pedals. Your workout statistics continue
from where you left off. Note that after a 10 minute pause, the EFX assumes you have
stopped working out and resets the display.
The EFX5.17 Heart Rate Feature
To activate the heart rate feature on the EFX5.17, you need to purchase the Precor
Heart Rate Option and install its receiver into the display console. To display your heart
rate, you must wear the POLAR
®
chest strap while working out. The chest strap
transmits your heart rate signal to the receiver which, in turn, causes it to appear on the
display. During your workout, the heart rate indicator lights and blinks at the same rate
as your pulse. This provides a visual clue and indicates what your heart rate is doing
even when the display is scanning a different feature.
The heart rate equipment is sensitive and it requires special care. If you are having
difficulty with the EFX heart rate feature, see the
Troubleshooting Tips
described below.
Troubleshooting Tips
The following chart may help you understand and troubleshoot the Precor Heart Rate
Option that you have purchased.
Note: The Precor heart rate receiver must be properly installed in the display console and
you must wear the POLAR

chest strap during your workout before a heart beat can be
detected. The EFX must also be turned ON before the display features can appear.

Make sure that the electrodes on the chest strap are moist and
placed properly against your skin. Sometimes, due to body
chemistry, the chest strap cannot successfully detect and
transmit your heart rate. If this occurs, use the electrolyte spray
that accompanies your Precor Heart Rate Option package. Follow
the directions on the bottle. After spraying the electrode strips on
the chest strap, check to be sure that the strap is comfortably tight
around your chest and centered in the middle of your chest. Refer
to your
Precor Heart Rate Option Owner’s Manual
.
CAUTION: When you use the display
console, hold onto the handrail with
one hand to maintain your balance.
You should also use the handrail
whenever you step into or out of the
foot pedals.
