Important: The Smart Rate blinking indicator light and the heart rate display
only appear when the Precor heart rate receiver is installed in the electronic
display and the chest strap transmitter is used. The Smart Rate indicator lights
do not appear when you use the Quick Start key. If the Smart Rate lights appear,
but do not blink, it means that a receiver is installed, but the user is not wearing
the chest strap transmitter or it is not working properly. To correct transmitter
problems, refer to your
Precor Heart Rate Option Owner’s Manual
. To obtain
service, see the information on the inside front cover.
Smart Rate simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. You don’t
have to stop concentrating on your workout to find your pulse anymore. If you
enter your appropriate age during the setup prompts, Smart Rate performs all
the calculations for you and displays a graphic image of where you are in your
zone. Smart Rate uses your age and your maximum aerobic heart rate to
calculate the zone. The blinking cell symbolizes the percent at which your heart
rate is working and displays it in the cardiovascular or weight loss zone.
Using Smart Rate during a workout with
any
EFX544 program helps maximize
the user’s weight loss or cardiovascular fitness regimen. While a user works out
in a particular course, you as trainer or club manager, could show him or her the
Smart Rate display and change the resistance or ramp incline to position his or
her heart rate in the desired Smart Rate zone.
When the user maintains his or her heart rate between 70% and 85% of their
maximum aerobic heart rate, overall improvement occurs to his or her cardio-
respiratory fitness level. If a person maintains his or her heart rate between 55%
and 70% of their maximum aerobic heart rate, he or she is burning enough
calories that, when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more,
provides the greatest fat-burning (weight loss) benefits.
UTILIZING THE HEART RATE CAPABILITY
A user can make each program on the EFX544 a heart rate interactive course
by monitoring and maintaining his or her heart rate in the Smart Rate zone best
suited for their specific needs.
Important: You can access the Smart Rate only if the optional heart rate
receiver is installed in your unit. See
Obtaining Service
on the inside front cover.
The Smart Rate indicator lights do not appear when you use the Quick Start key.
