information about the special features and functions of the EFX courses and how to
best utilize the:
• Manual course
• Cross Training course
• Hill Climb course

Note: To choose a course, begin pedaling. Once the Precor banner appears, press
Enter. User-friendly prompts guide you through the course selections. Refer to
Quick Steps to Working Out on page 37.
MANUAL MODE AND THE QUICKSTART
TM
KEY
Manual mode lets you set the resistance level. As with other courses, when you
complete the time limit set for the course, the automatic cool-down period begins.
You can choose Manual mode in two different ways:
•
pressing the QuickStart key at the Precor banner. QuickStart bypasses the
remaining selections and starts the Manual course. Default values
include a time limit of 30 minutes (or the custom settings, whichever is
less), 150 lbs. (68 kg.) and an age of zero. The SmartRate
®
display is inac-
tive.
•
pressing Enter at the Precor banner. This causes the EFX to display several
Setup prompts. At the COURSE prompt, select MANL.
The Manual course profile initially appears as a flat line. Use the
▼▲ keys to adjust
the resistance level. (See page 32 for more information.) As you proceed with your
workout, a blinking column represents your position on the course.
HILL CLIMB COURSE
For your convenience, the resistance in the Hill Climb course is preset. Review
the display label to ascertain the ascent and descent you’ll be feeling in the pedal
resistance throughout the course. Anytime during the workout, you can override
the resistance settings by pressing the Resistance
▼▲ keys.
INTERVAL COURSE
The interval course on the EFX lets you select the rest and work intervals according
to your training regimen. You set the resistance level for first rest and work interval
and the software repeats the intervals throughout the course. At any point during the
workout, you can change the settings of the current interval by simply pressing the
▼▲ keys. The software remembers the new settings and applies it to the appropriate
rest or work interval.
