Smart Rate
®
Display
You must enter your “AGE” during the Setup prompts and wear a POLAR
®
chest strap,
while in a course program, before the blinking segment in the bar graph can show
which zone your heart rate is in: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.
• Weight Loss Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 55% and 70% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate, helps burn enough calories that, when continued on
a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides the greatest fat-burning results.
• Cardiovascular Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate, helps you (when continued on a regular basis for 30
minutes or more) improve your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespiratory fitness level.
Important: During a course, your heart rate must be above 40 beats per minute
before the segment begins to blink. Note that pressing Quick Start may disable
the Smart Rate
®
display feature. See
QUICK START
on page 34.
Heart Rate Display
The heart rate display lets you monitor your heart rate. When a heart beat is detected,
the number appears in the small upper right display (refer to Diagram 25) and blinks
in time with your pulse. If you are not wearing a POLAR
®
chest strap, your heart rate
will not be detected and no pulse rate appears.
Important: If a “— — —” appears in the display, the EFX is having difficulty detecting
your heart rate. Make sure that the POLAR
®
chest strap is positioned properly on
your chest against your skin. If dashes remain on the display, refer to
Obtaining
Service
on page 9.
Setup Mode and Prompts
The Precor banner, “PRECOR WORK OUT SMARTER” is your “starting point” when
you begin a workout. If the banner does not appear on the display, press the Reset
key. If the display appears blank, make sure that the EFX is turned ON. (Press the
ON/OFF [I/O] switch located at the rear, near the power receptacle, to ON.)
From the Precor banner, you can access your User I.D. and the Setup mode which lets
you determine the course, workout time, weight, and age parameters as described below.
Note: Key presses to the RESISTANCE ▼▲ or INCLINE ▼▲ keys are ignored when
the banner is being displayed. Refer to page 33 for more information about the keypad.
User I.D.: The EFX provides two User I.D.’s that store information about your preferred
course, workout time, weight and age. If other people use the EFX, each person (up to
two people) can select their own User I.D. and personalize their workout session. The
Select [1] and Select [2] keys on the display console correspond to User 1 and User
2. To promptly retrieve the last course that you used, you can press the key associated
with your User I.D. while the Precor banner is being displayed.
COURSE: The COURSE prompt indicates that the EFX is ready to accept course
entries. To help you determine which course you want to use, the course names and
profiles appear on the display console label. The ▼ and ▲ keys let you scroll
through the nine available courses. The left portion of the display presents the
abbreviated name of the course, while the right half displays the course profile. The
text blinks indicating that it is awaiting your acceptance. To choose the selection
being displayed and continue in Setup mode, press Enter. (Refer to
The Setup Mode
and the Quick Start Feature
on page 26.)
Note: Depending on the course that you select, you may be prompted for other
information. Refer to
Course Descriptions
on page 38.
TIME: Acceptable entries range between 1 through 240 minutes and INFINITE. (If you
want to work out indefinitely, you can choose INFINITE. The five-minute, cool-down
period will not be appended to the course. ) The display blinks to indicate that it is
awaiting your selection. Use the ▼ and ▲ keys to change the selection. To continue in
Setup mode, press Enter.
