to best utilize the:
• Heart Rate and Smart Rate
®
features • Manual course
• Cross Country and Hill Climb courses • Cross Training course

Quick Steps
to Working Out
on page 28.
THE HEART RATE FEATURE
To use the heart rate features you must wear the POLAR
®
chest strap or grasp
the touch-sensitive electrode strips on the handrails while working out. The
chest strap transmits your heart rate signal to the receiver installed in the
display console. The signal appears as your pulse rate on the display. During
your workout, the heart rate indicator lights and blinks at the same rate as your
pulse. This lets you see what your heart rate is doing even when the display is
presenting other workout statistics.
Note: The Smart Rate
®
display does not appear if you use the Quick Start key
to access a course. Refer to QUICK START on page 25.
Important: The POLAR
®
chest strap is optional equipment and can be pur-
chased through your dealer. The touch-sensitive electrode strips on the hand-
rails are factory-installed and must be purchased at “point of sale.”
UTILIZING THE SMART RATE
®
FEATURE
Add the benefit of Smart Rate
®
to every course on the EFX. Using Smart Rate
®
as a visual cue helps you adjust your exercise routine to suit specific needs.
Smart Rate
®
simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. You don’t
have to stop concentrating on your workout to find your pulse. It is displayed
right in front of you along with the Smart Rate
®
zone. Once you begin a course,
a blinking segment in the bar graph appears on the left of the display, if you
entered your age during the Setup prompts. The blinking segment indicates the
zone that your heart rate is in: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.
Important: Access to Smart Rate
®
is only available when the person exercis-
ing wears a POLAR
®
chest strap or uses the touch-sensitive electrode strips
on the handrails. (The POLAR
®
chest strap is a separate purchase option.)
The touch-sensitive electrode strips on the stationary handrails are factory-
installed and must be purchased with the unit. The Smart Rate
®
indicator lights
do not appear when Quick Start is used to select a course.
