Basic Treadmill Operation

A Note About Calorie Expenditure Calculations

True treadmills use the calorie expenditure formula as described in Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription from the American College of Sports Medicine. This is the most widely accepted formula for running and walking.

Due to variations in human exercise efficiency, your actual calorie expenditure may vary by as much as 10% from the treadmill’s estimate.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate (HRC model only)

The 400HRC treadmill can monitor your heart rate when you wear the transmitter strap provided. It will display it as a digital beats-per-minute (bpm) readout, and it is very accurate, typically within two beats per minute. Your heart rate is good feedback on your effort level. See the Target Heart Rate chart on page 29 for more information.

Although your treadmill functions fine without using the heart rate monitoring feature, this kind of monitoring gives you valuable feedback on your effort level. It also allows you to use the most advanced training system available on a treadmill: True’s Heart Rate Control, where the treadmill automatically adjusts your workout level based on your heart rate. See the Heart Rate Control section of this manual for

details.

Using the Heart Rate Transmitter

Strap

The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, about one inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line.
