Exercising to Your Target Heart Rate
The HEART RATE display shows your heart rate while
exercising. To view your heart rate (beats per minute) on the
display, grasp both touch-sensitive grips.
To test your current heartrate:
To use the touch-sensitive grips on the EFX, grasp both
grips and wait five to ten seconds.
•If Hr appears in the HEART RATE display, the EFX is not
detecting a signal, or has not yet determined your heart
rate.
Note: When a signal is detected, the heart rate icon
flashes and a number appears in the HEART RATE
display that indicates your heart rate.
Always face forward on the EFX and use the stationary
handrail for balance. Keep upper body movement to a
minimum.
Note: If the handheld heart rate sensors do not work for you,
then we recommend that you use a chest transmitter strap. A
chest strap is not included with this model.
