Using the Stationary Handrails

To maintain your balance, always grasp a stationary handrail when 
you step on or off the foot pedals, and when you use the keypad.

To learn more about the touch-sensitive handrail grips, refer to

Moving Handlebars Support the Total 
Body Workout

The handlebars on the EFX534i provide an upper-body workout 
which helps increase cardiovascular fitness. By adding the total 
body movement to your cross training workout, you are actually 
increasing your work effort and enhancing your overall fitness level. 
A variety of hand positions can intensify the effectiveness of your 
workout. Review the information on the Precor web site, 
www.precor.com for customized workout routines.

Storing Workout Statistics

Some facilities connect the EFX to a computer so you can easily 
retrieve your workout statistics and determine how well you are 
meeting your fitness goals. If you are interested in maintaining 
workout statistic information, ask the facility personnel to create a 
user account and a user ID for you.

A user ID entry is required to store your workout statistics. If the 
display is blank, begin pedaling. Maintain a pedaling speed above 
40 strides per minute. If five zeros appear on the display, the EFX is 
connected to a computer. If the Precor banner appears, the EFX is 
not connected to a computer.

Note: 

When the optional power adapter is attached and the EFX is 

connected to a computer, five zeros appear on the display and 
remain until a user ID is entered. 

To access the EFX workout options, take the following steps:

1. As the leftmost zero blinks, use the number keypad to specify 

your 5-digit user ID. If you make a mistake, use the 

 arrow key 

to move back and reenter the correct number. 

Note: 

To bypass the user ID entry, press ENTER while all five 

zeros appear in the user ID field. No workout statistics are added 
to your file.

2. When your user ID is shown, press ENTER.

A message appears and indicates when the user ID is accepted 
by the computer. Then, a program name appears. 

3. To select a different program, press an arrow key. Refer to 

Workout Options
