Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 15
Table 1. Heart rate target zones and SmartRate Segments
The SmartRate indicator bars do not appear when:
• You press QUICKSTART at the Precor banner.
• You fail to grasp both touch-sensitive grips on the EFX
for five to ten seconds.
Note: Enter an accurate age when prompted,
otherwise a default age of 35 years is used for heart
rate calculations.
Exercise 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.
The Precor web site (www.precor.com) has several
suggestions for workouts with varying levels of intensity. It
provides many workout details that include the appropriate
target heart rate.
The EFX includes a program that lets you exercise based
on a specified target heart rate. As you exercise, the Basic
HRC Program monitors your heart rate and automatically
maintains it within a few beats per minute (bpm) of your
selected target.
Use the PROGRAMS key to access the Basic HRC
program. For more information, refer to Programs.
