both hands are moist.
Note: When a signal is detected, the heart rate icon flashes and a number appears in the HEART RATE display and indicates your heart rate.
Always face forward on the EFX and use the stationary handrail for balance. Keep upper body movement to a minimum.
Wearing a Chest Strap
During a workout, the heart rate features appear on the display when you wear a chest strap. To receive an accurate reading, the chest strap needs to be in direct contact with your skin.
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water Refer to Diagram 8.
Note: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.
2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The strap should feel snug, not restrictive. Refer to Diagram 9.
Diagram 9: Adjust chest strap
3. Make sure that the chest strap is right side up, lies horizontally across your chest, and is centered in the middle of your chest. Refer to Diagram 10.
Diagram 8: Moisten chest strap
Diagram 10: Fasten chest strap
After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for a few seconds. This allows the receiver in the console to recognize the signal from the chest strap.
Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 15
Using the Heart Rate
Touch-sensitive handrail grips
Touch-Sensitive Handrail Grips
While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips for a minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart rate to the display. Refer to Diagram 11.
Diagram 11: Touch-sensitive handrail grips
Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver inside the display console. However, some people, because of body chemistry or erratic heart beats cannot use the touch-sensitive heart rate feature on the EFX. A chest strap may provide better results.
Important: While exercising, do not grasp the touch­sensitive handrail grips and wear the chest strap at the same time. The touch-sensitive handrail grips override the signals from the chest strap transmitter. If used together, inconsistent readings may occur.
Using SmartRate
The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your heart rate in the target zone best suited to your specific needs. All 10 LEDs may light during a workout. When the EFX detects a heart rate, a single LED blinks and indicates the zone that your heart rate is in.
Important: To use the SmartRate feature, you must enter your age during the setup phase of your exercise session.
The 10 LEDs in the SmartRate display are color-coded. A pulsating orange LED indicates you are outside the recommended heart rate target zone. Green LEDs indicate when you are exercising within the recommended fat burn or cardio fitness zones.
Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 16
Table 1 shows the percents used in calculating the heart rate target zones. While your heart rate remains within these zones, the corresponding lights blink and provide a visual cue.
The calculation used to determine your maximum aerobic heart rate is (220 minus your age). When you multiply it by the percent indicated in Table 1, you can understand the relation­ship between the pulsating LED and your target heart rate.
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate or go above PEAK. If it does, immediately reduce your strides per minute, adjust the CrossRamp, or resistance to return your heart rate to your physician-recommended target zone.

Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 17
Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate
A dedicated window displays your heart rate while exercising. To view your heart rate (beats per minute) on the display, either wear a chest strap or grasp both touch­sensitive handrail 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.
Heart Rate Analysis
Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or touch-sensitive handrail grips, the EFX provides a heart rate analysis after the workout summary.
Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum heart rate achieved during your workout. A third display appears, if you entered your age, and indicates the amount of time your heart rate remained between the target zones shown.
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.
To use this program, press the PROGRAMS - HEART RATE key. For more information, refer to Programs.
Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features 18
The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate signal is received while exercising. If you use the chest strap, the average heart rate will be more accurate than if you occasionally grasp the touch-sensitive handrail grips.
