SMART RATE
®
DISPLAY
Before the blinking segment in the bar graph can show the zone (Weight Loss or
Cardiovascular) that your heart rate is in, you must enter your “Age” (during the
course Setup prompts) and either, wear a POLAR
®
chest strap, or hold onto the
touch-sensitive handrail grips while using the course.
Weight Loss Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 55% and 70% of your
maximum aerobic hear t rate, helps burn enough calories that, when
continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides the greatest fat-
burning results.
Cardiovascular Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 70% and 80% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate, helps you (when continued on a regular basis for 30
minutes or more) improve your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespiratory fitness level.
Important: During a course, your heart rate must be above 40 beats per minute
before the Smart Rate segment begins to blink. Your EFX has the heart rate
touch-sensitive electrodes on the handrail so you don’t need to wear a POLAR
®
chest strap. However, you will need to hold onto the touch-sensitive grips. Note
that pressing Quick Start disables the Smart Rate display feature.
HEART RATE DISPLAY
The heart rate display lets you monitor your heart rate. When a heart beat is
detected, the number appears in the small upper right display (refer to Diagram 9)
and the Smart Rate indicator blinks in time with your pulse. If you do not hold onto
the touch-sensitive handrail grips or are not wearing a POLAR
®
chest strap, your
heart rate will not be detected and no pulse rate appears. Refer to
The Heart Rate
Feature on page 29.
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 you se-
lected. As you proceed through your workout, your position is indicated by a
blinking cell.
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.
