Smart Rate:TM When the optional Precor heart rate receiver has been properly installed in the display console and the POLAR® chest strap is worn, a blinking segment in the vertical bar graph appears on the display. The blinking segment shows you the zone that your heart rate is in: either Cardiovascular or Weight Loss.

•Cardiovascular — maintaining your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate, helps to improve your overall cardiovascular/cardiorespiratory fitness level.

•Weight Loss — maintaining your heart rate between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate, helps burn enough calories that, when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides the greatest fat-burning benefits.

Important: Smart Rate does not appear when you use the Quick Start key. If the Smart Rate segment appears, but does not blink, it means that a receiver is installed, but that you are not wearing the chest strap transmitter or it is not working properly. To correct transmitter problems, refer to your Precor Heart Rate Option Owner’s Manual.

Cross Ramp: Displays the ramp level numerically (1 through 14). This display is affected by the

Cross Ramp keys.

Resistance Level: Indicates the degree of effort (1 through 20) associated with the foot pedal

resistance. This display is affected by the Resistance keys.

Time: Indicates the duration of your workout in minutes and seconds and stops whenever you pause or stop. Should you exceed 60 minutes (during a single workout), the time display converts to hours and minutes.

Strides per Minute: Displays the number of strides completed in a minute. A stride is an exagger- ated walking movement. On the EFX, if you start in a position with one foot forward and one foot back, a stride is completed when you move the rear foot all the way forward while the forward foot moves to the rear.

Total Strides: Displays the total number of strides completed. Refer to Strides per Minute above.

Calories: Indicates the estimated number of calories burned so far in your workout. The calorie calculation is dependent on the weight that you enter during the setup prompts. An accurate weight selection results in a more accurate calorie count.

Note: If you use Quick Start, the calorie count is based on a 150 lbs. (68 kg) person.

Heart Rate: Your heart rate (also known as your “pulse”) appears on the display. Monitor your heart rate to help keep you within your training zone. Refer to page 21 to understand more about the Heart Rate Training Zone. Note that the Precor Heart Rate Option receiver must be installed and the POLAR ® chest strap worn before your heart rate can appear on the display.
