SMARTRATE
®
DISPLAY
SmartRate
®
: A user must enter an Age, during the course Setup prompts and wear
a POLAR
®
chest strap (or hold onto the Heart Rate “touch” sensitive handrails), while
in a course program, before the blinking segment in the bar graph can show the zone
that his or her heart rate is in, either: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular. Refer to page
34,
Utilizing the SmartRate
®
Feature.
Important: During a course, the stride rate must be above 40 strides per minute
and a user’s heart rate must be above 40 beats per minute before the SmartRate
®
segment begins to blink. If the EFX has the heart rate touch-sensitive handrails,
a user doesn’t need to wear a POLAR
®
chest strap. However, he or she will need
to grasp the touch-sensitive grips.
HEART RATE: The heart rate display lets a user monitor his or her heart rate. When
a heart beat is detected, the number appears in the small upper right display (refer to
Diagram 15). If the club did not purchase the Precor Heart Rate “touch” option or the
user does not wear a POLAR
®
chest strap, a heart rate will not be detected and no
pulse rate appears. Refer to
The Heart Rate Feature on page 34.
UPPER DISPLAY
The Precor banner and course profiles appear in the large center display (LED
matrix). Always start a workout at the Precor banner. During workouts, the course
profile appears in the center display and corresponds to the program that the user
selects. As a user proceeds through a workout, his or her position is indicated by
a blinking column.
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.
When twenty-eight seconds remain, the upper display appears blank and all key
presses are ignored except Reset. The touch-sensitive heart rate features are
also ignored. If no pedaling occurs in the next eight seconds, a row of dots (that
correspond to the number of seconds remaining before the EFX shuts off) ap-
pears in the upper display.
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.
