EFX® SELF-POWERED FEATURES  
The power source for the EFX is the user.When a person works out on the EFX and  
moves the foot pedals at a stride rate above 40 strides per minute, the power that is  
generated allows the EFX to function properly.  
Informational displays appear when the battery is low or when the user has stopped  
pedaling during a workout. The display provides minimal instructions to let you  
know what to do to retain power. If the messages are ignored, the EFX will begin  
shutdown procedures to maintain the charge of the battery. Refer to page 33,  
Informational Displays Prior to Shutdown.  
An optional power adapter can be purchased and provides sustained power to the  
EFX. If you plan to customize your unit, the optional power adapter is highly recom-  
mended.To purchase the optional power adapter, check with your dealer.

SUPPLYING POWER TO THE EFX534i  
The EFX does not require an electrical power connection. It has an internal battery  
that is recharged every time a user works out for a reasonable period of time. A  
pedaling speed above 40 strides per minute must be maintained for several seconds  
before the Precor banner appears on the display. Once the banner appears, the user  
can press QuickStart or Enter to begin working out. For more information, refer to  
page 36, Exercising on the EFX.  
TESTING THE HEART RATE DISPLAY  
If you have purchased the optional chest strap, verify that the heart rate display is  
operational before customers begin using the machine.  
Note: To conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, the electrode strips on  
the chest strap must be in contact with the user’s skin. Usually, the concentration  
of salts in a person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to transmit a sig-  
nal to the receiver in the display console. However some people, because of body  
chemistry or erratic heart beats cannot use the heart rate feature on the EFX. To  
purchase a chest strap, refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.  
Diagram 21 Wearing the chest  
strap.  
Chest strap  
positioned and  
centered on chest.  
Back of chest strap  
Dampen with water.  
1. Wet the back of the chest strap and wrap it around your chest as shown in  
Diagram 21. Adjust the strap so that it maintains a snug fit.  
2. Hold onto the stationary handrail and step onto the foot pedals.  
3. Begin pedaling and maintain a stride rate above 40 strides per minute. The  
Precor banner will appear on the display.  
4. Wait five to ten seconds.A number indicating your heart rate (beats per minute)  
should appear in the display.Three dashes appear (— — —) if a heart beat is  
detected, but interference is occurring.Try readjusting the chest strap.  
5. If the heart rate display appears, the cables are properly connected and the  
heart rate feature can be a viable part of a user’s workout.  
6. If the heart rate display does not appear, press Reset to return to the Precor  
banner and then, ask someone else to try steps 2 through 4. If no heart rate  
number appears, reconnect the cables at the front of the base tube. Follow  
steps 1 through 4, again.  
If a heart rate cannot be detected, refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.

SETTING A WORKOUT TIME LIMIT  
You can limit how long a user works out by setting a duration between 1 and 240  
minutes.You can also choose NO LIMIT which allows the user to select a program  
and work out indefinitely.  
Note:The QuickStart program is automatically set at the custom settings limit.  
Use the ▼▲ keys to select a workout time limit. For example, if you set the workout  
time limit to 20 minutes, the EFX allows users to specify a workout between 1 and 20  
minutes. Users would not be allowed to specify a time longer than 20 minutes. Take  
into account that the user will get an additional five minute, cool-down period  
appended to his or her workout, so adjust the time limit accordingly.  
SETTING A PAUSE TIME LIMIT  
Use the ▼▲ keys to set a Pause time limit between 1 and 120 seconds (two minutes).  
Important: Changes to the Pause time become effective only when the power  
source for the EFX is the optional power adapter. If no power adapter is con-  
nected and the stride rate drops below 40 strides per minute, the EFX moves into  
its thirty second shut down mode. Refer to page 33.

USING CSAFE STANDARD EQUIPMENT  
The EFX is fully compatible with CSAFE protocols. Once the unit is connected to  
a CSAFE master device and the user maintains a stride rate above 40 strides per  
minute, he or she is prompted to enter an identification number (user ID).  
Note: If the optional power adapter is plugged into the EFX and connected to an  
appropriate power source, then no pedaling is necessary for user ID entry.  
Five zeros appear on the display. The left zero indicates that it is awaiting input.  
The following table provides information about the keypad functions:  
User ID Entry:

Enter  
submits the displayed user ID. Note that if the five zeros are  
being displayed when the user presses Enter, the user ID  
entry is bypassed and the Program prompt appears.  
Reset  
resets the display to the Precor banner.  
A message indicates when the user ID is accepted by the CSAFE master  
device. Then, the program prompt is displayed. See Quick Steps to Working Out  
on page 39.  
Note: If the user’s stride rate drops below 40 strides per minute while using  
the CSAFE device connection, a prompt PEDAL FASTER appears. If the stride  
rate remains below the 40 strides per minute threshold for the next twenty  
seconds, the CSAFE connection is terminated. The word RESETTING appears  
on the display while the EFX disconnects from the CSAFE device.

CENTER DISPLAY  
The items that appear in the display during a workout are described below.  
Workout Statistics: Eight items, that relate to the workout, can appear on the  
display once a user begins a program. After entering a program, the workout time  
and the program profile appear for several seconds. Indicator lights appear so  
that the user knows what information is being displayed.The Select keys can be  
used to change what workout statistics appear on the display. Refer to page 35,  
for more information.  
TIME: During a workout, the time (0:00) display appears when a user begins a  
program.Workout time appears in minutes and seconds. However, should a user  
exceed 60 minutes (during a single workout), the workout time display converts to  
hours and minutes.  
STRIDES: Shows the total number of strides completed.The number will always be  
even since two strides create one complete revolution of the flywheel. A stride is an  
exaggerated walking movement. On the EFX, if a user starts in a position with one  
foot forward and one foot back, a stride is completed when he or she moves the rear  
foot all the way forward while the forward foot moves to the rear.  
STRIDES PER MINUTE: Displays the number of strides completed in one minute  
(i.e., the user’s current pedaling speed).  
CALORIES: Provides the cumulative number of calories being burned. The calorie  
calculation is dependent on the weight that is entered during the setup prompts.  
An accurate weight selection results in a more accurate calorie count.  
Program Profile: During a workout, the program profile appears in the right por-  
tion of the display and corresponds to the program that the user selected. As the  
user proceeds through his or her workout, the program position is indicated by a  
blinking column.  
The height of the column in the program profile represents the resistance settings.  
Each row represents three levels of resistance.When the lowest row of LED’s is lit,  
the user has selected a resistance level between 1 and 3, the next row represents  
levels 4 through 6, and so on. If SmartRate® is displayed, then the two columns on  
the right are not used by the profile display.  
CALORIES PER MINUTE: Indicates the approximate number of calories being  
burned per minute.  
WATTS: Indicates the amount of energy the EFX is currently generating and is  
derived from the current resistance and pedaling speed.  
METS: Displays the metabolic equivalents of the user’s current energy expenditure  
level. A MET’s level of 1 represents the body at rest. Note that when a user stops  
pedaling, the MET’s value drops to zero because the displayed information no longer

SMARTRATE® DISPLAY  
SmartRate®: A user must enter an age, during the program Setup prompts and wear  
a chest strap, while in a program, before the blinking segment in  
the bar graph can show the zone that his or her heart rate is in. Refer to page 36,  
Utilizing the SmartRate® Feature.  
Important: During a program, the stride rate must be above 40 strides per minute  
and a user’s heart rate must be above 40 beats per minute before the SmartRate®  
segment begins to blink.  
HEART RATE:The heart rate display lets a user monitor his or her heart rate.When  
a heart beat is detected, the number appears in the small upper right display (refer to  
Diagram 23). If the user does not wear a chest strap, a heart rate will not be detected  
and no pulse rate appears. Refer to The Heart Rate Feature on page 36.  
INFORMATIONAL DISPLAYS PRIOR TO SHUTDOWN  
The EFX saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode. Whenever  
PEDAL FASTER appears on the display, the heart rate, SmartRate® and program  
indicators turn off. If the user does not maintain a stride rate of 40 strides per  
minute, then a thirty second shut down process begins.  
Shortly after the thirty second shut down process begins and the PEDAL FASTER  
prompt does not induce anyone to increase the pedaling speed, the display appears  
blank and all key presses are ignored, except Reset. After several seconds, dots  
appear on the display indicating that the EFX is shutting down. If no pedaling is de-  
tected, the EFX eventually turns off.  
If the EFX is connected to a CSAFE master device, a slightly different scenario  
occurs. When the number of seconds remaining before the EFX shuts off equals  
ten seconds (instead of eight), the workout session ends. RESETTING appears  
in the display while the EFX disconnects from the CSAFE master device. All key  
presses are ignored. Pedaling has no effect on the display.  
Low Battery  
If the battery voltage is low or needs recharging, the words WARNING - LOW  
BATTERY appear after the PRECOR banner.The EFX continues to function even  
with a low battery, but user and program information is lost once the user stops  
pedaling. Note that the Pause feature does not work.

KEYS ON THE DISPLAY CONSOLE  
The Precor products have an easy-to-use keypad that is activated by the slightest touch.  
Remind users that they only need to lightly tap the keys.  
Each key on the display console’s keypad provides specific functions. The ▼▲  
keys let the user enter data in answer to the display prompts and change the  
resistance during a workout.  
Diagram 24 Display console keypad.  
During a workout, the SELECT  
keys highlight which workout  
statistics appear on the display.  
QuickStart: Bypasses the  
remaining Setup prompts and  
enters the Manual program.  
During the Setup  
prompts, accepts  
displayed data and  
moves to next  
prompt.  
Gently, press  
and hold the ▼  
or keys to  
change the  
resistance level.  
Exit and return  
to banner.  
The following information explains the different uses of the keys from left to right.  
To locate each key, look at the display console or refer to Diagram 24.  
RESISTANCE : During a workout, the Resistance ▼▲ keys let the user de-  
crease or increase the force applied against his or her stride. The display can  
show a range from 1 to 20. Setting #1 provides the least resistance. A user can  
review the EFX’s resistance any time during a workout, by lightly touching either  
Resistance or key. He or she can opt to change the resistance, by holding  
the key down for more than two seconds.  
Note: The RESISTANCE keys appears on both ends of the display label for  
the user’s convenience.  
When a user changes the resistance by pressing the Resistance or key, the  
number that appears on the display shows the target resistance (not necessarily,  
the present resistance being applied) because the display can change much faster.  
The height of the program profile reflects the resistance levels. Each row that is lit  
represents three levels of resistance. When the first row is lit, the resistance is  
set between 1 and 3. If the first two rows are lit, the selected resistance level  
is between 4 and 6, and so on.

Exercising on the EFX  
The EFX is designed so that a user can work out with minimal instruction. The  
directions on the console and the prompts on the display help guide the user  
through an entire workout session.  
This section provides workout tips and information about:  
• using the heart rate features  
• safety features  
• quick steps to working out  
• cooling down after a workout  
• pause and exit features  
• using the handlebars  
CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, make sure that all users  
receive a complete physical examination from their physician.  
THE HEART RATE FEATURE  
If a user wishes to view his or her heart rate on the display, tell them to wear the  
chest strap while working out. A heart rate signal is transmitted to the receiver in-  
stalled in the display console. During a workout, the heart rate indicator lights, be-  
gins blinking and then, displays the heart rate.This lets the user see what his or her  
heart rate is doing even when the display is presenting other workout statistics. For  
more information, refer to page 24, Testing the Heart Rate Display.  
UTILIZING THE SMARTRATE® FEATURE  
Add the benefit of SmartRate® to every program on the EFX. Using SmartRate® as a  
visual cue helps the user adjust his or her exercise routine to suit specific needs.  
SmartRate® simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise.A user doesn’t  
have to stop concentrating on the workout to find his or her pulse. It appears on the  
display along with the SmartRate® zone. Once a user begins a program, 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 a user’s  
heart rate is in: Weight Loss or Cardiovascular.  
Important: Access to SmartRate® is only available when the person exercising  
wears a chest strap. (The chest strap is a separate purchase option.) The  
SmartRate® indicator lights do not appear when QuickStart is used to select a  
program.  
Weight Loss Zone  
For the ideal “weight loss” range, a user’s heart rate should be between 55% and  
70% of his or her maximum aerobic heart rate. It should never exceed 80% of the  
user’s maximum aerobic heart rate or go above a user’s training zone. Refer to  
Diagram 27 on page 43 for the appropriate training zone.  
Cardiovascular Zone  
When a user maintains a heart rate between 70% and 80% of his or her maxi-  
mum aerobic heart rate, he or she is improving his or her overall cardiovascular/  
cardiorespiratory fitness level. Maintaining a heart rate in either zone (weight loss  
or cardiovascular) for 30 minutes or more on a regular basis (minimum three  
times a week) provides the greatest benefits.

Diagram 26 Using the EFX handlebars.  
Handlebar  
Water bottle holder  
Stationary handrail  
USING THE HANDLEBARS  
The handlebars on the EFX provide an upper-body workout that, when used properly,  
helps increase cardiovascular fitness. By adding the upper-body movement to your  
cross training workout, you’re actually increasing your work effort and enhancing your  
overall fitness level. A variety of hand positions can intensify the effectiveness of your  
workout. Ask staff personnel for additional information.  
USING THE STATIONARY HANDRAIL  
Always grasp the stationary handrail to help keep your balance when you step on  
to or off of the foot pedals and when you use the display keys. During a workout,  
use the stationary handrail to rest or slow down your upper-body movement.  
CHANGING THE DISPLAY FEATURES USING THE SELECT KEY  
The Select keys let you choose which feature(s) appears on the display. When  
you enter a program, the workout time and program profile features are preselected  
for you. As you work out, TIME indicates the amount of time you've spent in your  
work out (or the time remaining). The blinking column in the program profile  
indicates progress along the program.  
Each Select key affects four different display features.The left SELECT key, causes  
the indicator light to appear next toTIME, STRIDES, STRIDES PER MINUTE and  
CALORIES.The right SELECT key, highlights PROGRAM PROFILE, CALORIES  
PER MINUTE, WATTS and METS.  
You can determine which features appear by turning the indicator lights, next to the

COOLING DOWN AFTER A WORKOUT  
Cooling down is an important aspect of your workout because it helps reduce muscle  
stiffness and soreness by transporting excess lactic acid out of the working muscles.  
It also helps provide a smooth transition that allows your heart rate to return to its  
normal (non-exercising) state. The EFX automatically initiates a five minute, cool-  
down period once you complete a program that has a specified time duration.A prompt  
appears, indicating that you are in cool down.  
During your cool down, the workout statistics continue to appear.When you complete  
the five minute cool down, aWorkout Summary appears.See the information below.  
Important: To activate a cool-down period, a program must “end. The program  
ends when the workout time (entered during the Setup prompts) expires. If you  
chose INFINITE, no cool-down period is appended to the program.  
PAUSE, COOL DOWN AND EXIT FEATURES  
Pausing, cooling down, and exiting are integral parts of your workout and can be  
accessed any time during a program.The EFX goes through several prerequisites  
before actually exiting a program.The following tables explain the various situations.  
Since the EFX is self-powered, foot pedal movement must be continuous to avoid  
shut down. For more information, refer to page 33.  
Note: If the optional power adapter is supplying power to the EFX, the factory set-  
ting for Pause mode is two minutes (120 seconds). The business owner or  
manager has the option to change the setting. A duration can be set between 1 and  
120 seconds and limits how long a user can pause his or her workout. Refer to  
Custom Settings Mode on page 25.

Important: If you entered your age during the Setup prompts and are wearing the  
chest strap, you can adjust the rest or work intervals to keep your heart rate in its  
recommended zone. For the weight loss zone, try to maintain your heart rate at the  
lower end (55% of maximum heart rate) while in the “restintervals and keep it at 70%  
of maximum heart rate while in the “work” intervals. See Diagram 27.  
To use the interval program, take the following steps:  
1. Follow the instructions on page 39, Quick Steps to Working Out.  
2. At the PROGRAM prompt, use the ▼▲ key to select the INTV program.  
3. Press Enter.  
4. Select a workout time.If the workout time entered is an even number, then all  
intervals (rest and work) are two minutes long. If the workout time that you  
enter is an odd number, then all intervals (rest and work) are two minutes  
long, except the last one which will be one minute.  
5. Press Enter to proceed to the next prompt. When you’re finished answering  
the Setup prompts, the Interval program begins.  
To set the resistance level for each interval, take the following steps:  
1. When the Rest interval prompt appears, press the Resistance or key to  
change the resistance level. When the desired setting is displayed, simply  
continue working out—you do not need to press Enter.  
The EFX returns to the “rest” settings at the beginning of each rest interval  
until you readjust it or end your workout.  
2. The same procedure applies to specifying the settings for the work interval.  
Each time the EFX changes intervals, it informs you by displaying a message. When  
you complete the time limit set for the program, the automatic cool-down period begins.

CROSS TRAINING PROGRAM  
The Cross Training program consists of alternating segments of forward and backward  
pedaling movements that focus on working the thigh and calf muscle groups. Ask staff  
personnel about the benefits of this type of workout.  
The program profile is divided into one minute intervals. Prompts appear on the  
display indicating when you should change the pedaling direction. Similar to the  
Interval program, changes to the pedal resistance can be made at any time by pressing  
the Resistance ▲▼ keys.  
To use the CrossTraining program, follow the steps found in Quick Steps toWorking  
Out on page 39. When the PROGRAM prompt appears, choose XTR.  
Once you set the resistance level for a forward or backward pedaling interval, the  
software repeats the settings throughout the remaining intervals.You can change  
the settings of the current interval by simply pressing the or key. The software  
remembers the new settings and applies it to the appropriate forward or backward  
interval for the remainder of the program.  
WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM  
The Precor Weight Loss program incorporates the latest findings on fat-burning  
and weight loss through exercise. It is based on research at the world-renowned  
Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research and it is designed to help you burn  
the most fat during a 28-minute workout, while minimizing the risk of discomfort  
and injury. The Weight Loss program is similar to the Interval program, but the  
intervals are set at four minutes. If you wear the chest strap, try to keep the rest  
interval’s target heart rate at 55% of (220 minus your age), while the work interval  
should be set to 70% of (220 minus your age). As in the Interval program, once  
you set the resistance levels for the first rest and work interval, the EFX automati-  
cally repeats the interval settings throughout the program.  
To use the Weight Loss program, follow the steps found in Quick Steps to Working  
Out on page 39. When the PROGRAM prompt appears, choose the WTLS.  
Note: When you complete the 28-minute time limit set for the program, the  
automatic cool-down period begins.

fasteners, unusual noises, and any other indications that the equipment may be in  
need of service. Obtain service should you notice any of the above.  
Important: If you determine that the EFX is in need of service, move it away from  
the main workout area and place an large “Out of Service” sign on it.  
To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service provider in your area,  
refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.  
CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT  
Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the casing. However, for  
efficient operation, the EFX relies on low friction.To keep the friction low, the EFX  
rollers, rails, and internal mechanisms must be as clean as possible.  
To clean all exposed surfaces on the EFX, it is recommended that you use a  
diluted solution of mild soap and water. Clean the EFX everyday with a soft  
cloth, dampened (not dripping wet) in the solution.  
To clean the ramp and roller wheels, position one foot pedal at the top of the  
ramp (the other will automatically be positioned at the bottom). Clean the  
exposed surfaces of the ramp and roller wheels daily, or whenever the ramp  
becomes soiled. Switch the foot pedal position to finish cleaning the ramp.  
Gently, lift the roller wheel and rotate it while you wipe it.This helps removes  
any dust or dirt which might affect the smooth operation of the unit.  
CAUTION:Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the ramp coat-  
ing and void the Precor LimitedWarranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on  
any part of the EFX. Allow the EFX to dry completely before using.  
Periodically, clean the grooves on the foot pedals using a soft nylon scrub  
brush. Vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of  
dust and dirt.  
The Precor Heart Rate equipment requires little maintenance beyond keep-  
ing it dust free. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth in mild soap and water to  
clean the chest strap. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.

STORING THE CHEST STRAP  
Store the chest strap transmitter in a place where dust and dirt cannot accumu-  
late on it such as, a closet or drawer. Be sure to keep the chest strap protected  
from extremes in temperature. Do not store it in an area that may be exposed to  
temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.  
SERVICING THE EFX AND LONG TERM STORAGE  
Do not attempt to service the EFX yourself except for the maintenance tasks  
described in this manual. The unit does not contain any user-serviceable parts  
that require lubrication. For information refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.  
When the EFX is not in use, ensure that the power adapter cord is unplugged from the  
wall outlet and is positioned so that it will not become damaged or interfere with other  
equipment or people. Ensure that is kept free from dirt, moisture, or damage.  
SYMPTOMS OF A LOW BATTERY  
If no one has used the EFX for an extended period of time, the battery may need  
recharging. Symptoms of a low battery include:  
a flickering or erratic display  
no workout statistics appear or accumulate  
Note:The optional power adapter can be connected or a sustained workout may  
help recharge the battery. Refer to page 33, Informational Displays Prior to Shut-  
down.  
Diagram 28 Power adapter and  
adapter plug.  
USING THE POWER ADAPTER  
Diagram 28 shows the receptacle for the power adapter. Plug the opposite end into  
the appropriate power source for your unit (110/120v or 220/240v).You can use the  
EFX while the power adapter is plugged in.The display functions a bit differently when  
the power adapter is used. It returns to the Precor banner instead of appearing blank  
when a user stops working out.

REPLACING THE BATTERY  
The EFX534i battery is built to last for a long time. However, if you feel that the  
battery may need replacing, check with an authorized service technician. Refer to  
Obtaining Service on page 7.  
CAUTION:The battery stored inside the EFX contains hazardous materials  
and must be disposed of according to HazardousWaste Regulations. Refer  
to page 3.  
POWER ADAPTER POWER CORD  
When the EFX534i poweradapter is in use, ensure that the power supply cord does not  
create a safety hazard by keeping it out of the way of traffic and moving parts. If the  
power supply cord or power conversion module is damaged, it should be replaced.
