STANDARD EQUIPMENT
The EFX
®
556i incorporates the Precor SmartRate
®
and Heart Rate features into its
display console. Devices, such as FitLinxx
TM
, that are CSAFE
TM
compatible, can
also be attached.
The Precor “touch” heart rate is standard and provides electrode strips, called
“grips,” on the center handrails. When a user places his or her hands over the grips
and grasps the handrails, a heart rate is transmitted to the receiver.
Note: If a user does not wish to use the touch-sensitive hand grips, an optional
POLAR
®
chest strap can be purchased and worn. The chest strap transmits the
user’s heart rate to the display console’s receiver.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Optional equipment available through your dealer includes:
• POLAR
®
Heart Rate Option — chest strap.
• the CSAFE option (Stores personal workout statistics in a computer file.
Operation requires cable connection to a separate computer.)
• Battery recharger
