SUPPLYING POWER TO THE EFX534

The EFX does not require an electrical power connection. It has an internal battery that is recharged every time a user works out for a reasonable period of time. A pedaling speed above 40 strides per minute must be maintained for several seconds before the Precor banner appears on the display.Once the banner appears, the user can press QuickStart or Enter to begin working out. For more information, refer to page 34, Exercising on the EFX.

TESTING THE HEART RATE DISPLAY

If you have purchased the optional POLAR® chest strap, verify that the heart rate display is operational before customers begin using the machine.

Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, the electrode strips on the chest strap must be in contact with the user’s skin. Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver in the display console. However some people, because of body chemistry or erratic heart beats cannot use the heart rate feature on the EFX. To purchase a POLAR® chest strap, refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.

Dampen with water.

1.Wet the electrode strips on the POLAR® chest strap and wrap it around your chest as shown in Diagram 20. Adjust the strap so that it maintains a snug fit.

2.Hold onto the stationary handrail and step onto the foot pedals.

3.Begin pedaling and maintain a stride rate above 40 strides per minute. The Precor banner will appear on the display.

4.Wait five to ten seconds. A number indicating your heart rate (beats per minute) should appear in the display.Three dashes appear (— — —) if a heart beat is detected, but interference is occurring.Try readjusting the chest strap.

5.If the heart rate display appears, the cables are properly connected and the heart rate feature can be a viable part of a user’s workout.

6.If the heart rate display does not appear, press Reset to return to the Precor banner and then, ask someone else to try steps 2 through 4. If no heart rate number appears, reconnect the cables at the front of the base tube. Follow steps 1 through 4, again.

If a heart rate cannot be detected, refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.
