STORING THE POLAR
®
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 battery recharger 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
•
changes to the ramp incline are ignored
Note
: The optional battery recharger can be connected or a sustained workout
may help recharge the battery. Refer to page 33,
Informational Displays Prior to
Shutdown.
USING THE BATTERY RECHARGER AND ITS POWER CORD
Diagram 29 shows the receptacle for the battery recharger. Plug the opposite end
into the appropriate power source for your unit (110/120v or 220/240v). You can
use the EFX while the battery recharger is plugged in. The display functions a bit
differently when the battery recharger is used. It returns to the Precor banner
instead of appearing blank when a user stops working out.
