537_Owners Manual.book Page 11 Monday, August 6, 2007 9:08 AM Using the Stationary Handrail Turning the Unit On and Off To maintain your balance, always grasp a stationary handrail when you step on or off the foot pedals, and when you use the keypad. To turn the unit On and Off, use the power switch located at the rear of the unit, near the power cord receptacle. Refer to Diagram 6. To learn more about the touch-sensitive handrail grips, refer to Heart Rate Features.
537_Owners Manual.book Page 12 Monday, August 6, 2007 9:08 AM Location It is important to keep a minimum of one foot (30 cm) around the EFX open and free from encumbrances such as other equipment.

537_Owners Manual.book Page 13 Monday, August 6, 2007 9:08 AM Heart Rate Features Important Use and Safety Information CALORIES HEART RATE 5.37 SmartRate WARMUP FATBURN CARDIO 109 • PEAK HIGH Heart rate and SmartRate® features are available when you wear the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive handrail grips. 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.
537_Owners Manual.book Page 14 Monday, August 6, 2007 9:08 AM • The calculation used for the heart rate target zone is: (220 minus your age) multiplied by a percent. For example: Low range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 55% High range: (220 minus your age) multiplied by 85% Refer to Table 1 in Using SmartRate. • • • Heart Rate Target Zones 200 Note: When a signal is detected, the heart rate icon flashes and a number appears in the HEART RATE display and indicates your heart rate.
537_Owners Manual.book Page 15 Monday, August 6, 2007 9:08 AM 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. 2. Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The strap should feel snug, not restrictive. Refer to Diagram 9. 1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water Refer to Diagram 8. Note: Do not use deionized water.
537_Owners Manual.book Page 16 Monday, August 6, 2007 9:08 AM Using the Heart Rate Touch-Sensitive Handrail Grips While exercising, 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.
537_Owners Manual.book Page 17 Monday, August 6, 2007 9:08 AM Table 1 shows the percents used in calculating the heart rate target zones. While your heart rate remains within these zones, the corresponding lights blink and provide a visual cue. The calculation used to determine your maximum aerobic heart rate is (220 minus your age). When you multiply it by the percent indicated in Table 1, you can understand the relationship between the pulsating LED and your target heart rate.
537_Owners Manual.book Page 18 Monday, August 6, 2007 9:08 AM Exercise to Your Target Heart Rate Heart Rate Analysis 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 touchsensitive handrail grips.
