Smart Rate:
TM
When the optional Precor heart rate receiver has been properly installed in the
display console
and the POLAR
®
chest strap is worn, a blinking segment in the vertical bar graph
appears on the display. The blinking segment shows you the zone that your heart rate is in: either
Cardiovascular or Weight Loss.
•
Cardiovascular — maintaining your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your
maximum
aerobic heart rate, helps to improve your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespiratory fitness level.
•
Weight Loss — 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 benefits.
Important: Smart Rate does not appear when you use the Quick Start key. If the Smart Rate
segment appears, but does not blink, it means that a receiver is installed, but that you are 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.
Cross Ramp: Displays the ramp level numerically (1 through 14). This display is affected by the
Cross Ramp
keys.
Resistance Level: Indicates the degree of effort (1 through 20) associated with the foot pedal
resistance. This display is affected by the Resistance
keys.
Time: Indicates the duration of your workout in minutes and seconds and stops whenever you
pause or stop. Should you exceed 60 minutes (during a single workout), the time display converts
to hours and minutes.
Strides per Minute: Displays the number of strides completed in a minute. A stride is an exagger-
ated walking movement. On the EFX, if you start in a position with one foot forward and one foot
back, a stride is completed when you move the rear foot all the way forward while the forward foot
moves to the rear.
Total Strides: Displays the total number of strides completed. Refer to Strides per Minute above.
Calories: Indicates the estimated number of calories burned so far in your workout. The calorie
calculation is dependent on the weight that you enter during the setup prompts. An accurate weight
selection results in a more accurate calorie count.
Note: If you use Quick Start, the calorie count is based on a 150 lbs. (68 kg) person.
Heart Rate: Your heart rate (also known as your “pulse”) appears on the display. Monitor your
heart rate to help keep you within your training zone. Refer to page 21 to understand more about
the Heart Rate Training Zone. Note that the Precor Heart Rate Option receiver must be installed and
the POLAR
®
chest strap worn before your heart rate can appear on the display.
Features on the Display
Indicator lights appear to show you which feature is being displayed. When you are working out,
the display console presents each feature consecutively—this is called
scanning. Diagram 8
illustrates the display console. Its display features and keys are explained on the following pages.
