HEART RATE INFORMATION
CHOOsE A WORKOUT
• Determine your level of tness: beginner,
intermediate, or advanced.
• Determine your immediate goal: endurance
training, cardio-conditioning, or weight loss.
If you are a beginner, start with a cardio-conditioning
workout to gradually adjust your body to the demands of
exercise. Over a recommended eight-week period, you will
increase your endurance and strength.
For all tness levels, plan to exercise at an appropriately
challenging pace for 20 to 30 minutes a day. Wear a chest
strap to monitor your heart rate. Supplement your plans
with tness workouts from the Precor web site
(www.precor.com). The Precor web site also provides
expert advice to help you reach your tness goals.
MONITOR YOUR HEART RATE
The SmartRate and heart rate displays provide visual cues
that help you adjust your tness routine to reach your
goals. Use these features to keep your heart rate within
the target zones.
Wear a Chest Strap
During a workout, the heart rate features appear on
the display when you wear a chest strap. To receive an
accurate reading, the chest strap needs to be in direct
contact with your skin. After you put on the chest strap,
face the display console for a minimum of 15 seconds. This
allows the receiver in the console to recognize the signal
from the chest strap.
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap
water (Diagram A).
IMPORTANT: Do not use deionized water. It does
not have the proper minerals and salts to conduct
electrical impulses.
2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest.
The strap should feel snug, not restrictive
(Diagram B).
3. Make sure that the chest strap is right side up, lies
horizontally across your chest, and is centered in
the middle of your chest (Diagram C).
When these steps are complete, you are ready to view
your heart rate.
Touch-Sensitive Handrail Grips
Several Precor products incorporate touch-sensitive
heart rate grips on the handrails. If you prefer to use
the touch-sensitive handrail grips, use both hands.
Make sure both hands are moist (not dry) and avoid
grasping the sensors too tightly.
Note: For the best heart rate monitoring results, wear a
chest strap.
sMARTRATE® FEATUREs
When you begin an exercise session, a blinking
segment in the SmartRate display appears if you
entered your age during the setup phase. The blinking
segment indicates the current zone of your heart rate.
The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is
your maximum aerobic heart rate:
207 - (age x 0.67), multiplied by a percentage.
For the ideal weight loss range, your heart rate should
remain between 55% and 69% of your maximum
aerobic heart rate. To improve your overall
cardiovascular and respiratory tness level, maintain
your heart rate between 70% and 85% of your
maximum aerobic heart rate. For the greatest benets,
maintain your heart rate in either zone for 30 minutes or
more at least three times a week.
CAUTION: Your heart rate should never exceed
85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate or go
above your target zone (Diagram D).
COOl DOWN AFTER YOUR WORKOUT
Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout
because it helps reduce muscle stiness and
soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the
working muscles. Cooling down for at least three
minutes helps provide a smooth transition that allows
your heart rate to return to its normal, non-exercising state.
CAUTION:Before beginning any fitness program, see your physician for a thorough examination. Ask your physician about the appropriate target heart rate for your fitness level.

service center for examination and repair.
DANGER
The unit must be connected to a
properly grounded circuit (refer to
Grounding Instructions).
Keep the power cord and plug away from heated
surfaces.
Keep all electrical components, such as the power
cord and power switch, away from liquids to
prevent shock.
Do not operate the equipment where aerosol
(spray) products are being used or where oxygen
is being administered.

you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop
your workout immediately and consult your
physician.
Important Safety Instructions 3
Safety Approvals for
Cardiovascular Equipment
Precor equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the following applicable safety standards.
Cardiovascular Type Equipment:
CAN/CSA, IEC 60335-1 (Household and similar
electrical appliances - Safety)
Grounding Instructions
The equipment must be grounded. If the equipment
malfunctions or breaks down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current, which
reduces the risk of electrical shock. The equipment is
equipped with a power cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. Failure to properly ground
the equipment could void the Precor Limited Warranty.
DANGER
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. Check
with a qualified electrician or service
person if you are in doubt as to whether
the unit is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the
equipment. If it does not fit the outlet, get
a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
120 V Units Designated for North
American Markets
The unit must be connected to a grounded circuit. The
power outlet must have the same configuration as the
plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI)
Federal Communications Commission,
Part 15
This fitness equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. The
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the owner’s manual instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
If the equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the unit off and on, you are encouraged to
try to correct the interference using one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna for your
TV, radio, VCR, DVR, etc.
Increase separation between the unit and the
receiver (TV, radio, etc.).
Connect the equipment into a different power
outlet on a dedicated circuit different from the one
used by the receiver (TV, radio, etc.). No other
appliance should be plugged into the same power
outlet as the equipment.
Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
WARNING
Per FCC rules, changes or
modifications not expressly
approved by Precor could void the
user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Important Safety Instructions 5

Obtaining Service
You should not attempt to service the equipment
except for maintenance tasks as described in this
manual. The equipment does not contain any
user-serviceable parts that require lubrication. For

Precor web site at www.precor.com.
Should you need more information regarding customer
support numbers or a list of Precor authorized service
centers, visit the Precor web site at www.precor.com.
Note: A thin protective sheath covers the roller arm
wheels on your EFX. As you exercise, the roller arms
move up and down the ramp and the wheels tend to
squeak until the protective sheath wears off. Noise
from the wheels during this break-in period is normal
and will stop once the break-in period is complete
(usually after about ten hours of use). Please allow ten
hours of use for the wheel noise to subside before
calling Precor Customer Support.
