CALORIES PER MINUTE:
Indicates the approximate number of calories being
burned per minute.
WATTS:
Indicates the amount of energy the EFX is currently generating.
METS:
Displays the metabolic equivalents of the user’s current energy expenditure
level. A MET’s level of 1 represents the body at rest. Note that when a user stops
pedaling, the MET’s value drops to zero because the displayed information no
longer corresponds to the user’s MET’s level.
Incline
and
Resistance
levels: Indicates (1 through 20) the degree of incline that
the ramp is set at or the effort associated with the foot pedal resistance. The
ramp incline or resistance level displays only appear when a user presses the
appropriate
Incline

keys. Refer to pages 34 and 35.
CROSSRAMP
®
DISPLAY
During a workout, the four circles that appear on the display console, relate to the
ramp incline and the associated muscle groups that are affected on the user.
When a user begins a course, a light appears in the appropriate circle(s). As the
user changes the ramp incline, different muscle groups can be affected and are
so indicated by one or more lit circles.
INFORMATIONAL DISPLAYS PRIOR TO SHUTDOWN
The EFX saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode. Whenever
PEDAL FASTER appears on the display, the heart rate, SmartRate
®
and course
indicators turn off. If the user does not maintain a stride rate of 40 strides per
minute, then a thirty second shut down process begins.
Shortly after the thirty second shut down process begins and the PEDAL FASTER
prompt does not induce anyone to increase the pedaling speed, the display ap-
pears blank and all key presses are ignored, except
Reset
. After several sec-
onds, dots appear on the display indicating that the EFX is shutting down. If no
pedaling is detected, the EFX eventually turns off.
Low Battery
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.
