Smart Rate
®
: You must enter your “Age” (during the course Setup prompts), and
wear a POLAR
®
chest strap (or hold onto the Heart Rate “touch” sensitive hand-
rails), while in a course program, before the blinking segment 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 greatest
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 regu-
lar basis for 30 minutes or more) improve your overall cardiovascular/car-
diorespiratory fitness level.
Important: During a course, your heart rate must be above 40 beats per
minute before the segment begins to blink. If the 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
TM
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 11) and blinks in time with your pulse. If you did not purchase
the Precor Heart Rate Touch 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 32.
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 se-
lected. 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.
