DETERMINING THE UNITS OF MEASURE

Two different units of measure can be selected, 

Metric or U.S. Standard. Make your

selection using the 

▼▲

 keys. Press 

Enter 

once the correct unit is displayed.

Note

: Anytime you wish to exit the Club Custom mode, press the 

Reset 

key. Any

previous display attributes that you selected by pressing 

Enter 

are saved and

recorded in memory.

SETTING A WORKOUT TIME LIMIT

You can limit how long a user works out by setting a duration between 1 and 240
minutes. The EFX also lets you choose “no limit” which allows the user to select a
course and work out indefinitely. (Note that the user must enter a workout time of 0
using the 

numeric keys at the 

Enter Time

 prompt before working out “indefinitely.”)

Important

: If the club setting is “no limit” and the user enters “0” at the 

Enter

Time

 prompt, then the 

Time Remaining

 display does not appear when a user

works out. (An exception to this rule is the Weight Loss Course.)

Note

: The 

QuickStart

 program is set at the Club limit (see page 25).

Use the 

▼▲

 keys to select a workout time limit. For example, if you set the workout

time limit to 20 minutes, the EFX allows users to specify a workout between 1 and 20
minutes. Users would not be able to specify a time longer than 20 minutes.

Note

: The touch-sensitive keys can be gently pressed and held to view several

selections. The longer the key is held down, the faster the numbers scroll past.

Important

: Take into account that the user will get an additional five-minute cool-

down period appended to his or her workout, so adjust the time limit accordingly.

SETTING A PAUSE TIME LIMIT

Setting a 

Pause 

time limit is useful because the EFX exits the course and returns to

the Precor banner at a predetermined interval after the user stops pedaling.

Use the 

▼▲

 keys to set a 

Pause 

time limit between 1 and 120 seconds (two minutes).

VIEWING THE ODOMETER, HOURS OF USE, SOFTWARE
VERSION AND ERROR LOG

The display console keys that you need to press to view the odometer, the num-
ber of hours the EFX has been in use, the software version and any error codes,
are as follows:

Reset,  

 ▼

Note:

 The number keys, 6 and 5, may be pressed instead of using the 

▲ 

and

 ▼

keys, for example: 

Reset

, 6, 5. Remember to begin at the Precor banner. After

pressing 

Reset

, the next key in the sequence must be pressed within ½ second.
