MANUAL MODE AND THE QUICKSTART
TM
KEY
Manual mode lets you determine the resistance level which affects the effort you
put into your workout. As with other programs, when you complete the time limit
set for the program, the automatic cool-down period begins.
You can choose Manual mode in two different ways:
• pressing the QUICKSTART key at the Precor banner. QUICKSTART by-
passes the remaining selections and starts the Manual program. Default
values include a time limit set by the Club, 150 lbs. (68 kg.) and an age of 0.
The SmartRate
®
display is inactive.
• pressing ENTER at the Precor banner. This causes the EFX to display sev-
eral Setup prompts. At the program prompt, select the Manual program.
The Manual program profile initially appears as a flat line. Use the ▼▲ keys or
the numeric keys to adjust the resistance level. (See page 24 for more informa-
tion). As you proceed with your workout, a blinking column represents your posi-
tion within the program.
CROSS TRAINING PROGRAM
The Cross Training program is similar to the Interval Program, but instead of rest
and work intervals the program consists of alternating segments of forward and
backward pedaling movements that focus on working the thigh and calf muscle
groups. Ask Club personnel about utilizing the benefits of this type of workout in
your fitness goals.
The program profile displays the forward and backward intervals. The height of
the intervals reflects the changes (if any) made by you to the resistance levels.
You set the resistance for the first forward and backward interval and the software
repeats the settings throughout the program. Any time during the program, you
can adjust the resistance setting by pressing the ▼ or ▲ key, or using the nu-
meric keypad. The software remembers the new setting and applies it to the
subsequent backward or forward interval. Prompts appear on the display indicat-
ing when you should change the pedaling direction.
Note: If a workout time is entered, then the time is divided into five equal intervals
(forward, backward, forward, backward, forward) and appears in the profile. If no
workout time is entered (or “no limit” is set by the club), then the time per interval is
set to one minute.
CROSS COUNTRY AND HILL CLIMB PROGRAMS
In the EFX preset programs, the resistance is predetermined. This lets you use
the program without bothering to adjust the resistance. However, if you want to
make changes to the resistance level use the numeric keys or
RESISTANCE ▼▲ keys any time during the program. Refer to the Numeric keys
and the RESISTANCE ▼▲ key on page 27.
