If the EFX is connected to a CSAFE master device, a slightly different scenario
occurs. When the number of seconds remaining before the EFX shuts off equals
ten seconds (instead of eight), the workout session ends. RESETTING appears
in the lower display while the EFX disconnects from the CSAFE master device.
All key presses are ignored. Pedaling has no effect on the display.

If the battery voltage is low or needs recharging, the words WARNING - LOW
BATTERY appear after the PRECOR banner. The EFX continues to function even
with a low battery, but user and course information is lost once the user stops
pedaling. Note that the Pause feature does not work.

When the battery voltage is low, changes to the ramp’s incline are ignored. When a
user attempts to change the ramp incline, NO RAMP - LOW BATTERY appears on
the display. The course profile and calories calculations are not affected by the low
battery and continue to show the programmed changes as if the changes to the
ramp incline actually occurred.

Note

: A sustained workout at the current ramp incline will help recharge the battery.

Or, plug in the optional battery recharger. Refer to the 

Maintenance section.

LOWER DISPLAY

Prompts appear in this display prior to your workout. You address each prompt
using the numeric or keypad keys. Once you begin a workout, lights appear in the
columns below the window indicating which information is being displayed. You
can highlight a particular feature by pressing the appropriate 

Change 

key.

The following describes the information that can appear in the Lower Display.

TIME

: During your workout, a time (0:00) display appears when you begin working

out. 

Time 

appears in minutes and seconds. However, should you exceed 60 minutes

(during a single workout), the 

Time 

display converts to hours and minutes. The 

Time

display shows how long you’ve been working out. Even when you enter your cool-
down period, the 

Time 

display provides the cumulative duration of your workout.

STRIDES:

 Shows the total number of strides completed. The number will always be

even since two strides create one complete revolution of the flywheel. A stride is an
exaggerated 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.

STRIDES PER MINUTE:

 Displays your current pedaling speed.

CALORIES:

 Provides the cumulative number of calories being burned.

TIME REMAINING:

 Indicates the amount of time, in minutes and seconds (mm:ss),

that remain in the course. When you enter a cool-down period, the 

Time Remain-

ing

 resets to five minutes, and begins counting down from there.

Note

: If a course has no designated time limit (the club has set the 

Workout Time

Limit

 as “

No Limit

”) and the user inputs “0” using the numeric keys at the 

Enter

Time

 prompt), then the 

Time Remaining

 field does not appear. See 

Club Infor-

mation on page 15.
