Smart Rate
®
: You must enter your “Age” (during the course Setup prompts), and
wear a POLAR
®
chest strap, while in a course program, before the blinking seg-
ment in the bar graph can show the zone that your heart rate is in, either: Weight
Loss or Cardiovascular.
Weight Loss Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 55% and 70% of
your maximum aerobic heart rate, helps burn enough calories that, when
continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides the great-
est fat-burning results.
Cardiovascular Zone: Maintaining your heart rate between 70% and 85%
of your maximum aerobic heart rate, helps you (when continued on a
regular basis for 30 minutes or more) improve your overall cardiovascu-
lar/cardiorespiratory fitness level.
Important: During a course, your heart rate must be above 40 beats per
minute before the segment begins to blink. If your EFX has the heart rate
touch-sensitive electrodes on the handrail, you don’t need to wear a
POLAR
®
chest strap. However, you will need to grasp the electrode strips.
Note that pressing Quick Start disables the Smart Rate
®
display feature.
HEART RATE: 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 blinks in time with your pulse. If you did not purchase
the Precor Heart Rate Touch factory-installed option 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 30.
CENTER DISPLAY WINDOW
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 selected. As you proceed through your workout, your position is indicated
by a blinking cell.
ELONGATED CENTER 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 display.
TIME: During your workout, a time (0:00) display appears when you begin work-
ing out. Time appears in minutes and seconds. However, should you exceed 60
minutes (during a single workout), the Time display converts to hours and min-
utes. 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.
