HEART RATE MONITORING
CHAPTER ONE: BASIC OPERATION
The elliptical can monitor your heart rate using either a chest strap or the metal grips on the balance bar (called contact heart rate, or CHR pads). A chest strap transmits your heart rate to the elliptical via a radio signal, and the CHR pads connect to a special computer circuit to obtain your heart rate.
Although the elliptical functions fine without using the heart rate monitoring feature, this type of monitoring provides you with valuable feedback on your effort level. Chest strap monitoring also allows you to use TRUE’s HRC (Heart Rate Control)®, the most advanced exercise control system available.
When you wear a Polar® or compatible transmitter strap (provided), the elliptical will display your heart rate as
a digital
The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, about one inch below
the pectoral muscles/breast line (see picture). Women should be careful to place the transmitter below their bra line.
Some moisture is necessary between the strap and your skin. Sweat from your exercise works best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior to your workout if desired.
