SMARTRATE® DISPLAY
SmartRate®: A user must enter an age, during the course Setup prompts and wear a POLAR® chest strap, while in a course program, before the blinking segment in the bar graph can show the zone that his or her heart rate is in. Refer to page 35, Utilizing the SmartRate® Feature.
Important: During a course, the stride rate must be above 40 strides per minute and a user’s heart rate must be above 40 beats per minute before the SmartRate® segment begins to blink.
HEART RATE:The heart rate display lets a user monitor his or her heart rate.When a heart beat is detected, the number appears in the small upper right display (refer to Diagram 22). If the user does not wear a POLAR® chest strap, a heart rate will not be detected and no pulse rate appears. Refer to The Heart Rate Feature on page 35.
INFORMATIONAL DISPLAYS PRIOR TO SHUTDOWN
The EFX saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode. Whenever PEDAL FASTER appears on the display, the heart rate, SmartRate® and course indicators turn off. If the user does not maintain a stride rate of 40 strides per minute, then a thirty second shut down process begins.
Shortly after the thirty second shut down process begins and the PEDAL FASTER prompt does not induce anyone to increase the pedaling speed, the display appears blank and all key presses are ignored, except Reset. After several seconds, dots appear on the display indicating that the EFX is shutting down. If no pedaling is detected, the EFX eventually turns off.
If the EFX is connected to a CSAFE master device, a slightly different scenario occurs. When the number of seconds remaining before the EFX shuts off equals ten seconds (instead of eight), the workout session ends. RESETTING appears in the display while the EFX disconnects from the CSAFE master device. All key presses are ignored. Pedaling has no effect on the display.
Low Battery
If the battery voltage is low or needs recharging, the words WARNING - LOW BATTERY appear after the PRECOR banner.The EFX continues to function even with a low battery, but user and course information is lost once the user stops pedaling. Note that the Pause feature does not work.
