Heart rate and SmartRate® features are available when you grasp both touch-sensitive grips.
When a heartbeat is detected, the HEART RATE display shows your heart rate and, if your age has been entered, the SmartRate display pulses and indicates your current heart rate zone.
Important Use and Safety Information
Read the following before using the heart rate or SmartRate features.
•Consult your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise. Do not use the heart rate programs until authorized by your physician.
•Know your heart rate and your physician-recommended heart rate target zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several physiological factors and may not correspond directly with Diagram 5.
Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features |
12 |
•The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is: (220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent.
For example:
Low range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 55% High range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 85% Refer to Table 1 in Using SmartRate.

•To use the touch-sensitive grips on the EFX, grasp both grips and wait five to ten seconds. Make sure both hands are moist.
•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.
Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features |

Using the Touch-Sensitive Grips
While exercising on the EFX, you must grasp both touchsensitive grips for a minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart rate to the display. Refer to Diagram 6.
EFX®5.25 |
EFX®5.23 |
Diagram 6: Touch-sensitive 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.
Using SmartRate
The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your heart rate in the target zone best suited to your specific needs.
When the EFX detects a heart rate, a single bar blinks and indicates your current heart rate zone. All 10 bars may appear during an exercise session.
Important: To use the SmartRate feature, you must choose a program and enter your age during the setup phase of your exercise session.
Table 1 shows the percents used in calculating the heart rate target zones. While your heart rate remains within these zones, the corresponding bar blinks and provides 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 relation-ship between the blinking bar and your target heart rate.
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed 87% of your maximum aerobic heart rate or go above PEAK. If it does, immediately reduce your strides per minute and adjust the CrossRamp or resistance to return your heart rate to your physician-recommended target zone.

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.
