Heart Rate Features Important Use and Safety Information Read the following before using the heart rate or SmartRate features. HEART RATE SmartRate Heart rate and SmartRate® features are available when you wear the chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips. When a heartbeat is detected, the HEART RATE display shows your heart rate and, if your age has been entered, the SmartRate LED blinks and indicates your target zone.
y 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. Heart Rate Target Zones 200 190 180 Your Heart Rate 170 160 150 High com me 140 dC ard 130 120 110 y If you prefer to use the touch-sensitive grips, grasp both and wait five to ten seconds. Make sure both hands are moist (not dry).
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. 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 the following figure. 1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water Refer to the following figure. Note: Do not use deionized water.
Using the Touch-Sensitive Grips While exercising, you must grasp both touch-sensitive grips for a minimum of five to ten seconds to transmit your heart rate to the display. Refer to the following figure. 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 grips.
Using SmartRate The SmartRate indicator lights do not blink when: The SmartRate feature helps you monitor and maintain your heart rate in the target zone best suited to your specific needs. When a heart rate signal is detected, a single LED blinks and indicates the zone that your heart rate is in. y You do not wear or improperly position the chest strap. Or, you fail to grasp both touch-sensitive grips for five to ten seconds.

All accumulated statistics are transferred to the new program as you continue exercising. Incorporate a cool-down period into your workout to help lower your heart rate and minimize muscle stiffness or soreness.
Pausing During a Workout or the Cool-Down Period If your rate of motion drops below minimum requirements while exercising or during the cool-down period, a 30-second shutdown is initiated. You cannot pause for a longer period of time or change to a different program unless the fitness facility has the optional power adapter attached to the equipment. When the optional power adapter is attached, you can pause for a set time, usually two minutes.
Programs This section describes the programs available on the equipment. Use this section as a reference tool to better understand each program’s purpose. Program Tips Choosing a Program y While exercising, you need to sustain your exercise motion. Stopping any movement causes the equipment to shut down to conserve battery power. Choosing a program depends on your goals.
Manual Program Interval Program The Manual Program profile, available by pressing the MANUAL key, begins as a flat line. On the 532i, you control the CrossRamp incline and resistance settings using the CROSSRAMP and RESISTANCE keys. The 534i has a stationary ramp so you can only affect the resistance settings using the keys. The program profile reflects any changes. The blinking column indicates your position in the program.
Heart Rate Program Tips Gluteal Program The Gluteal Program, available by pressing the VARIETY key, is designed to exercise the gluteal muscles. On the 532i, the ramp incline is preprogrammed. Review the profile to determine the ascent and descent levels of each program. Any changes to the ramp incline affects the program’s profile. On the 534i, the ramp is stationary, so changes to the resistance levels affect the profile.
y You can change the target heart rate, but doing so affects how well your target heart rate remains in the preferred zone. It takes time to readjust the resistance so that your heart rate remains on target. Weight Loss Program y If you wish to quit the Basic HRC Program, you can make a mid-session transfer to another program, but you cannot return or transfer mid-session to the Basic HRC Program.
For the ideal weight loss range, your heart rate should remain between 55% and 70% of your maximum aerobic heart rate. If you wear a chest strap or grasp both touch-sensitive grips, you can use SmartRate as a visual cue. y Set a comfortable stride rate and then adjust the settings. y Maintain a level of exertion so that the SmartRate LEDs in the FATBURN target zone blink in the display during the rest intervals.

Start with the side mounts and insert the four hex head screws (A), with four split washers (E), and four flat washers (B). Finger tighten. Insert the two bottom hex head screws (A) with two split washers (E), and two flat washers (B). Finger tighten.
Secure the display console with four buttonhead screws (H). Wrench tighten. Connect the RJ45 cable to its receptacle on the back of the display console. An audible click is heard when the cable is properly attached. Place excess cable inside the console bracket. Important: When connecting the RJ45 cable to the back of the display, look for the receptacle that is in the same orientation as shown in the illustration below. Text embossed on the plastic states LOWER BOARD CONNECTION.
Remove the handrail covers and the two Phillips-head screws. Set them aside. One end of the handrail has a hole drilled into it. Position the handrail so the hole aligns with the mounting hole on the console bracket tube. Feed the heart rate cables through the handrail clamp as shown. Slide each handrail into the console bracket tube at the same time you insert it into the handrail clamp behind the display. Insert two flat head screws (J) to secure the handrails to the handrail stub.
Position the water bottle holder as shown in the illustration. Place the top section over the handrail and align the two mounting holes. Position the base below the handrail and align the slits and mounting pems with the top section. Slide the base into the top section and secure it using three Phillips-head screws (F) and a Phillips-head screwdriver. Place the display covers (M) around the console bracket. Insert two buttonhead screws (H) and wrench tighten. Wrench tighten the hex head screws.
Before exercising, make sure the EFX is level and does not wobble from side to side. Important: If the EFX is placed on a slightly uneven surface, turning the leveling pads can help, but will not compensate for extremely uneven surfaces. 1. Remove the packaging wedge from beneath the base of the EFX. 2. Kneel by the side of the stabilizer and lift the base slightly so you can access the levelers. 3. Rotate the levelers as needed. Verify the heart rate display is operational. 1.
