Once the EFX is assembled and turned ON, it is ready to use. The easy-to-under-
stand prompts let you select a course and specify how long you want to work out.
Begin working out and then, adapt the resistance level to meet your fitness goals.
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, have your physician give
you a complete physical examination.
USING THE HEART RATE “TOUCH” CAPABILITY
If your club purchased the Precor Touch Heart Rate option, “touch-sensitive” elec-
trode strips are part of the handrails. If you wish to view your heart rate on the
display, grasp the touch-sensitive electrode strips on the handrails while working
out. Your heart rate signal is transmitted to the receiver installed in the display
console. 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. For more information,
refer to The
Heart Rate Feature
on page 32.
Important: When you step on to or off of the foot pedals and when you use the
display keys, always grasp at least one of the stationary handrails to help keep
your balance.
