Heart Rate Features  
Important Use and Safety Information  
Read the following before using the heart rate or SmartRate  
features.  
109  
Consult your physician before engaging in any vigorous  
exercise. Do not use the heart rate programs until  
authorized by your physician.  
SmartRate  
Know your heart rate and your physician-recommended  
heart rate target zone. Individual heart rates vary  
according to several physiological factors and may not  
correspond directly with Diagram 7.  
Heart rate and SmartRate® features are available when  
you wear the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive  
handrail grips.  
Note: The EFX5.31 does not have touch-sensitive handrail  
grips. To use the heart rate and SmartRate features, a chest  
strap must be worn. To purchase a chest strap, contact your  
dealer. Refer to Obtaining Service.  
When a heartbeat is detected, the HEART RATE display  
shows your heart rate and, if your age has been entered, the  
SmartRate LED pulses and indicates your target zone.  
Owner’s Manual: Heart Rate Features  
13  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is:  
(220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent.  
After you put on the chest strap, face the display console  
for a few seconds. This allows the receiver in the console  
to recognize the signal from the chest strap.  
For example:  
Low range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 55%  
If Hr appears in the display, the EFX is detecting a signal,  
but has not yet determined your heart rate. Make sure the  
chest strap is positioned properly around your chest and  
against your skin.  
High range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 85%  
Refer to Table 1 in Using SmartRate.  
If you prefer to use the touch-sensitive handrail grips on  
the EFX5.35 or EFX5.33, grasp both grips and wait five  
to ten seconds. Make sure both hands are moist.

2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The strap  
should feel snug, not restrictive. Refer to Diagram 9.  
Wearing 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.  
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water  
Refer to Diagram 8.  
Diagram 9: Adjust chest strap  
Note: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the  
proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.  
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. Refer to Diagram 10.  
Diagram 8: Moisten chest strap  
Diagram 10: Fasten chest strap  
After you put on the chest strap, face the display console for  
a few seconds. This allows the receiver in the console to  
recognize the signal from the chest strap.

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.  
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.  
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.  
Touch-sensitive  
handrail grips  
Important: To use the SmartRate feature, you must choose  
a program and enter your age during the setup phase of  
your exercise session.

Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate  
Heart Rate Analysis  
Every time you complete a program using the chest strap or  
touch-sensitive handrail grips, the EFX provides a heart rate  
analysis after the workout summary.  
A dedicated window displays your heart rate while  
exercising. To view your heart rate (beats per minute) on the  
display, either wear a chest strap or grasp both touch-  
sensitive handrail grips.  
Your average heart rate appears followed by the maximum  
heart rate achieved during your workout. A third display  
appears, if you entered your age, and indicates the amount of  
time your heart rate remained between the target zones  
shown.  
Note: The EFX5.31 does not have the touch-sensitive  
handrail grips so you must purchase the optional chest strap  
transmitter to monitor your heart rate.  
suggestions for workouts with varying levels of intensity. It  
provides many workout details that include the appropriate  
target heart rate.  
The heart rate analysis is based on how often your heart rate  
signal is received while exercising. If you use the chest strap,  
the average heart rate will be more accurate than if you  
occasionally grasp the touch-sensitive handrail grips.  
The EFX includes a program that lets you exercise based on  
a specified target heart rate. As you exercise, the Basic HRC  
Program monitors your heart rate and automatically  
maintains it within a few beats per minute (bpm) of your  
selected target.  
To use this program, press the PROGRAMS - HEART RATE  
key. For more information, refer to Programs.

TIME REMAINING—shows the amount of time  
remaining in a workout. If the selected workout time is  
less than 60 minutes, the display shows time in minutes  
and seconds. If you select a workout time greater than  
60 minutes, the display reflects hours and minutes until  
the countdown reaches 60 minutes, at which time the  
display reverts to minutes and seconds.  
QUICK  
START  
CALORIES—displays the estimated cumulative number  
of calories burned. The calorie calculation is derived  
from the pedaling speed, resistance, and your weight.  
An accurate weight entry results in a more accurate  
calorie count. When using QUICKSTART and a weight  
has not been specified, the default weight is 150  
pounds (68 kilograms).  
The lower display provides information about your exercise  
session. The two center windows automatically provide  
information about your CrossRamp and resistance settings.  
To choose the type of information displayed in the left and  
right windows, press the adjacent Selection key. The  
numbers that appear relate to your workout statistics and are  
described below.  
Note: If you choose to rest a book or magazine on the  
display, you can still view these workout statistics.

STRIDES/min—displays the number of strides you  
complete in a minute up to a maximum value of 510  
strides per minute. A stride is an exaggerated walking  
movement. If you start in a position with one foot plate  
forward, a stride is completed when you move the rear  
foot pedal all the way forward while the other foot plate  
moves to the rear. Two strides create one complete  
revolution of the flywheel. So, the value that appears on  
the display is always an even number between 20 and  
510. The average, effective exercise pace is between  
100 to 150 strides per minute.  
CROSSRAMP  
CROSSRAMP—displays the incremental motion  
affected by the ramp position. The CROSSRAMP  
arrow keys affect the lift and let you set a ramp incline  
between 1 and 20 on the EFX5.35 and between 1 and  
14 on the EFX5.33 and EFX5.31. The value displayed  
can change in whole number increments.  
RESISTANCE  
RESISTANCE—displays the resistance you feel against  
your stride. The RESISTANCE arrow keys let you set a  
resistance level between 1 and 20.  
VERTICAL GAIN—displays an estimate of your  
cumulative vertical gain in feet or meters based on your  
CrossRamp level, resistance level, weight, and caloric  
expenditure. You can use the VERTICAL GAIN display  
as a unique motivational unit of measurement and  
realize your fitness goals by varying the elliptical motion  
of the EFX. Higher CrossRamp and resistance levels  
will result in greater vertical gain.  
TOTAL STRIDES, STRIDES/min and  
VERTICAL GAIN  
TOTAL STRIDES—shows the total number of strides  
completed, which is always an even number since two  
strides create one complete revolution of the flywheel.  
A stride is an exaggerated walking movement. On the  
EFX, if you start in a position with one foot pedal  
forward, a stride is completed when you move the rear  
foot pedal all the way forward while the other foot pedal  
moves to the rear.

Aerobic Endurance Program  
Hill Climb Program  
VARIETY  
VARIETY  
The Aerobic Endurance Program can be accessed by  
pressing the VARIETY key. The 30 to 60 minute program  
has been designed by Dr. Emily Cooper of Seattle  
muscular and aerobic endurance. It has a warmup period  
followed by gradually increasing CrossRamp inclines and  
resistance.  
The Hill Climb Program, available by pressing the VARIETY  
key, has preprogrammed CrossRamp settings in a fixed  
pattern. It is designed to increase muscle tone, cardio-  
conditioning, and endurance over several weeks.  
The program consists of alternating forward and backward  
pedaling movements that focus on working the thigh and calf  
muscle groups. Display prompts appear indicating when to  
reverse pedal direction at select intervals: 25%, 50%, and  
75% of program completion.  
During the warmup period, the display prompts you to  
maintain a specific stride rate which increases muscle  
flexibility and raises your heart rate. When the program  
begins, maintain the recommended stride rate of 140 strides  
per minute to improve cardiopulmonary conditioning and  
muscular endurance. The ramp incline varies throughout the  
program every three minutes. When you complete the  
program, a 3-minute, cool-down period begins.  
During your exercise session, you can change your strides  
per minute and override the CrossRamp or resistance  
settings using the arrow keys.  
The CrossRamp and resistance are preset based on your  
body weight and the recommended strides per minute, but  
you have the option to adjust either one during the program  
using the arrow keys. If you make adjustments, you may  
change the effectiveness of the program.

Each program provides a 3-minute warm-up period.  
During this time, you may change the CrossRamp or  
resistance, but you cannot adjust the time or change to a  
distance or calorie goal. At the end of the warm-up  
period, the program automatically controls the resistance.  
Pressing the RESISTANCE arrow keys has no affect.  
Heart Rate Programs  
HEART  
RATE  
The Basic HRC Program, available by pressing the HEART  
RATE key, adjusts the CrossRamp to maintain your heart rate  
within two beats per minute of the target heart rate while you  
exercise. To use this program, you must enter your age and  
wear a chest strap or grasp the touch-sensitive handrail  
grips so your heart rate can be monitored throughout the  
session.  
Note: When your target heart rate is achieved or the  
3-minute period elapses, the warm-up period ends and  
the program begins.  
The program sets the target heart rate as a percentage of  
220 minus your age. Changing the target heart rate your  
stride rate or CrossRamp affects the unit’s ability to  
maintain your target heart rate in the preferred zone. It  
takes time for the EFX to readjust the resistance so that  
your heart rate remains on target. Check the SmartRate  
and the HEART RATE displays to see if you are  
maintaining your preferred zone and to determine your  
actual heart rate. For information about understanding  
your target heart rate, refer to Heart Rate Features.  
Important: Consult your physician to determine the  
appropriate target heart rate for your age and fitness level.  
If your physician recommends a different target heart rate  
than the one that appears on the display adjust it  
accordingly. Do not exercise over the recommended range  
of 85% of your maximum aerobic heart rate.  
Heart Rate Program Tips  
The Basic HRC Program enhances your overall  
cardiovascular fitness level to help you achieve your weight  
loss and fitness goals. Read through the following tips  
before selecting a program. These tips provide general  
information regarding how the program functions. For more  
information and exercise suggestions, refer to the Precor  
Changes to the CrossRamp are reflected in the  
program’s profile. Automatic resistance changes appear  
in the RESISTANCE display.  
To change the program, select a different PROGRAMS  
key and press OK.  
A cool-down period is incorporated into the program.

RATE  
The keypads are disabled. The test ends if,  
The Fitness Test, available by pressing the HEART RATE key,  
is a test that consists of three 5-minute sessions. A warm-up  
and cool-down period is incorporated into the program. The  
actual duration of the test ranges between 5 and 23 minutes  
depending on your fitness level. You cannot adjust the  
CrossRamp or resistance settings.  
You press RESET.  
Two minutes has elapsed since the last heart rate signal  
was received.  
After warm up, if you surpass your target heart rate (74%  
of your maximum aerobic heart rate).  
The Fitness Test measures the maximum amount of oxygen  
(V02 max) the body can use for energy production during  
exercise. The higher the amount of oxygen that your body  
can use enhances your ability to exercise for prolonged  
periods of time. The test results can help you gauge the  
effectiveness of your current exercise routine and tailor it to  
meet your fitness goals.  
You stop pedaling and the pause time limit elapses.  
You must complete the test for it to determine your aerobic  
capacity and establish your V02 max. Once you complete the  
test, a fitness score and fitness level appear as part of the  
workout summary. Use it to compare to Table 3 or Table 4.  
Important: You must wear the chest strap or grasp both  
touch-sensitive handrail grips throughout the Fitness Test.  
If the heart rate reception is erratic, incorrect readings can  
occur and terminate the test.

Maintenance  
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks  
described in this section. Failure to maintain the EFX as  
described here could void the Precor Limited Warranty.  
Cleaning the Equipment  
Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the  
covers. However, for efficient operation, the EFX relies on  
low friction. To keep the friction low, the unit’s rollers, ramp,  
foot pedals, handlebars, and covers must be as clean as  
possible.  
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,  
DANGER  
always unplug the unit from its power  
source before cleaning it or  
performing any maintenance tasks.  
Precor recommends the EFX be cleaned before and after  
each workout. Use mild soap and water; dampen a soft cloth  
and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove any dust  
or dirt.  
Inspection  
Inspect the EFX before use.  
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will  
weaken the paint or powder coatings and void the Precor  
Limited Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any  
part of the EFX. Allow the EFX to dry completely before  
using.  
Look and listen for slipping belts, loose fasteners, unusual  
noises, worn or frayed power cords, and any other  
indications that the equipment may be in need of service. If  
you notice any of these, obtain service.  
Frequently vacuum the floor around the unit to prevent the  
accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth  
operation of the unit. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean  
the foot pedals.  
Important: If you determine that the EFX needs service,  
make sure that the EFX cannot be used inadvertently. Turn  
the unit Off, insert the locking pin and then unplug the  
power cord from its power source. Make sure other users  
know that the EFX needs service.

Precor Limited Warranty service may be obtained by contacting the

Disclaimer and Release  
The warranties provided herein are the exclusive warranties given  
by Precor and supersede any prior, contrary or additional  
representations, whether oral or written. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES,

FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE THAT APPLY TO ANY PARTS  
DESCRIBED ABOVE ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE PERIODS OF  
EXPRESS WARRANTIES GIVEN ABOVE FOR THOSE SAME PARTS.  
PRECOR HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES THOSE WARRANTIES  
THEREAFTER. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an

Exclusion of Consequential and Incidental  
Damages  
PRECOR AND/OR ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION OR  
LIABILITY, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT (INCLUDING  
WARRANTY), TORT (INCLUDING ACTIVE, PASSIVE, OR IMPUTED  
NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY), OR OTHERWISE, FOR  
DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS OF USE,  
REVENUE OR PROFIT, COST OF CAPITAL, COST OF SUBSTITUTE  
EQUIPMENT, ADDITIONAL COST INCURRED BY BUYER (BY WAY OF  
CORRECTION OR OTHERWISE) OR ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL,  
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER  
RESULTING FROM NONDELIVERY OR FROM THE USE, MISUSE OR  
INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT. This exclusion applies even if the  
above warranty fails of its essential purpose and regardless of  
whether such damages are sought for breach of warranty, breach of  
contract, negligence, or strict liability in tort or under any other legal  
theory. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of  
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation might  
not apply.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have  
other rights, which vary state to state.
