Using the Heart Rate Touch-Sensitive Handrail Grips

While exercising on the EFX5.35 or EFX5.33, 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.

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 7 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 choose a program and enter your age during the setup phase of your exercise session.
