QUICK STEPS TO WORKING OUT
1
Use the Heart Rate
Features.
Important: When you begin
moving the foot pedals,
continue to hold onto a
handrail with one hand while
you answer the Setup
prompts with the other.
Important: If BATTERY LOW appears on the display anytime during a workout, contact the club
personnel. Pay attention to the words, PEDAL FASTER. The EFX is warning you that you need to
pedal faster to avoid disconnecting the battery, which is the power source for the EFX display.
1.
For your Heart Rate to appear on the display, you need to
wear a POLAR
®
chest strap or hold onto the touch-sensitive
grips on the handrails.
CAUTION: Hold onto the handrails while you step into
the foot pedals.
2.
Begin pedaling and follow the display prompts. Make a
COURSE selection and enter your workout TIME, WEIGHT,
and AGE.
Note: To answer the Setup prompts, use the numeric or
▼▲
keys. Press Enter to select the information being dis-
played. The eight available courses appear on the label at-
tached to the display console. Brief course descriptions are
also provided beginning on page 34.
Important: Any time during the Setup prompts, you can press
the QuickStart key. Refer to QUICKSTART on page 29.
To pause during your workout session, stop pedaling for a
few seconds. Be aware that if the optional battery recharger
is not attached, you have only thirty seconds before the
EFX shuts off. See
Pause, Cool Down and Exit Features.
3.
When you have completed a course that has a limited dura-
tion, a five minute, cool-down period automatically begins.
Hold onto the handrail while the EFX reduces the resistance
by 20 percent. Note that you can always exit a course prema-
turely using the Reset key.
Note: Not all courses supply the cool-down period. See
Cooling Down After Your Workout on the next page.
4.
After you complete the five minute cool-down period (or exit
a course prematurely using Reset), the Workout Summary
banner appears. If you wore a POLAR
®
chest strap or held
onto the handrail grips during your workout, a heart rate
analysis follows the banner and displays:
• the average heart rate during your workout
• the maximum heart rate during your workout
• the duration that your heart rate was in the Weight Loss
or Cardiovascular zones.
Workout statistics except TIME, STRIDES and CALORIES
reset to zero. (TIME shows the accumulated workout time
including warm-up and cool-down periods.)
5.
When you are finished reviewing your workout statistics,
stop pedaling. Hold on to the stationary handrails while
you carefully step down from the EFX.
Step into the foot
pedals and select a
course.

Important: Continue
pedaling while reviewing
your workout statistics.
