Using the Heart Rate 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 touch- sensitive 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.
