THE HEART RATE FEATURE
To use the heart rate features you must wear the POLAR
®
chest strap while
working out. The chest strap transmits your heart rate signal to the receiver in-
stalled in the display console. The signal appears as your pulse rate on the display.
During your workout, when a heart rate is detected, the Smart Rate
®
indicator
lights and blinks in the appropriate heart rate zone. This lets you see what your
heart rate is doing even when the display is presenting other workout statistics.
Note: The Smart Rate
®
display does not appear if you use the Quick Start key
to access a course. Refer to QUICK START on page 25.
Important: The POLAR
®
chest strap is optional equipment and can be pur-
chased through your dealer.
UTILIZING THE SMART RATE
®
FEATURE
Add the benefit of Smart Rate
®
to every course on the EFX. Using Smart Rate
®
as a visual cue helps you adjust your exercise routine to suit specific needs.
Smart Rate
®
simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. You don’t
have to stop concentrating on your workout to find your pulse. It is displayed
right in front of you along with the Smart Rate
®
zone. Once you begin a course,
a blinking segment in the bar graph appears on the right of the display, if you
entered your age during the Setup prompts. The blinking segment indicates the
zone that your heart rate is in: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.
Important: Access to Smart Rate
®
is only available when the person exercis-
ing wears a POLAR
®
chest strap. (The POLAR
®
chest strap is a separate
purchase option.) The Smart Rate
®
indicator lights do not appear when Quick
Start is used to select a course. Refer to QUICK START on page 25.
