Basic Guidelines for Setting Up the Equipment:
After removing the equipment from the packaging, place the equipment on a
clean, level surface. Make sure the electrical cord easily reaches a grounded
three-pronged outlet.
Important Electrical Requirements 120V:
Your TRUE equipment requires a dedicated 120 volt, alternating current (AC),
20 amp grounded outlet circuit. This means nothing else can be plugged into
the same circuit. Most power circuits are rated for this 120V AC 20 amp
requirement, but you must ensure the equipment does not share the circuit with
anything else.
Important Electrical Requirements 220V:
Your TRUE equipment requires a dedicated 230 volt, alternating current (AC),
15 amp grounded outlet circuit. This means nothing else can be plugged into
the same circuit. Most power circuits are rated for this 230V AC 15 amp
requirement, but you must ensure the equipment does not share the circuit with
anything else.
DANGER: Do not use an extension cord or ungrounded outlet:
The ground helps prevent electrical damage to your equipment and enhances your
safety by helping to prevent shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the equipment is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the unit if it will not fit the
outlet. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

CHAPTER 3: PROGRAMMING & OPERATION
caution:
The safety key must be in place on the machine, and should be attached to the
user’s clothing.
HEART RATE MONITORING:
The machine can monitor a user’s heart rate using either a Polar® compatible
chest strap or the metal grips on the hand rails (called contact heart rate or
CHR pads). A chest strap transmits the user’s heart rate to the machine via a
radio signal, and the CHR pads connect to a special computer circuit to
extract the user’s heart rate.
Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring:
Although this machine functions fine without using the heart rate monitoring
feature, this kind of monitoring gives valuable feedback on the user’s effort
level. Chest strap monitoring also enables users to use Heart Rate Control
(HRC), the most advanced exercise control system available.
When users wear a Polar® compatible transmitter strap, the machine will
display the user’s heart rate as a digital beats-perminute (bpm) readout. The
transmitter strap should be worn directly against the user’s skin, about 1-2
inches below the pectoral muscles/breast line. Women should be careful to
place the transmitter below their bra line.
Initially the transmission signal for heart rate may be erratic or non-
existent. Some moisture is necessary between the strap and the user’s skin for
proper transmission. Sweat from exercise works best, but ordinary tap water
may be used prior to the workout if desired.
A Note on Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring:
The chest strap produces a radio signal that the machine reads and registers
as the user’s heart rate. The accuracy of a reading may be affected when
outside interference is present.
Contact Heart Rate (CHR):
The CHR system will let the user monitor their heart rate without wearing a
chest strap. When using the CHR system users should gently grasp the CHR pads
with both hands. Within 30 seconds, the user’s heart rate should be displayed
as a digital bpm readout (during the first 30 seconds the system is analyzing
and locking in the user’s heart rate). Users should exercise with smooth body
motions and breathe regularly. It is best to avoid talking while using the CHR
system, as talking will cause unrepresentative heart rate spikes of 5 to 10
bpm. To ensure an accurate reading, the user’s hands should be clean, free of
both dirt and hand lotions.
Note: For increased safety and accuracy, the CHR system should only be used at
speeds of 4 mph or lower (CHR readings are less accurate due to large muscle
movements above this speed).
A Note on CHR Accuracy:
CHR monitoring may be less accurate than chest strap monitoring since the
heart rate signals are much stronger at the chest. When using a HRC workout,
it is best to use a chest strap because of the stronger and more accurate
readings.
caution:
Do not use the contact heart rate grips as a handlebar during a workout.

CHAPTER 3: PROGRAMMING & OPERATION
HEART RATE CONTROL (HRC):
Introduction:
You are now the owner of the most sophisticated Heart Rate Control (HRC)
workout technology available. TRUE HRC is unique and patented. It accommodates
users from rehabilitation to world class athletes, and all those in between.
TRUE HRC enables users to do a completely hands-free heart rate controlled
workout using speed, incline, or both. By training at a specific target heart
rate, users can exercise at a more efficient cardiovascular level.
The TRUE HRC system is unique because users must enter the key parameters of
the workout; target heart rate, maximum speed, maximum incline, and time,
prior to starting the HRC workout. As users approach their target heart rate,
the machine’s computer automatically takes over and changes the speed and/or
incline automatically to keep them near their target heart rate. This enables
for a completely hands-free workout.
Note: A Polar® compatible heart rate monitoring chest strap should be worn
during HRC workouts. For increased safety and accuracy, contact heart rate
monitoring is not recommended for HRC workouts.
Target Heart Rate:
TRUE’s HRC workouts let the machine monitor relative exercise intensity by way
of the user’s heart rate, then automatically adjust the speed and incline to
keep the user at their target heart rate and thus their desired exercise
intensity. Heart rate is a good measure of the body’s exercise stress level.
It reflects differences in physical condition, fatigue, the comfort of the
workout environment, even diet and emotional state. Users should compare their
heart rate with how they feel to ensure safety and comfort.
Consult a Physician to Determine Target Heart Rate:
Using heart rate to control a workout takes the guesswork out of the workout
settings. Consult a physician before using heart-rate controlled workouts for
advice on selecting a target heart rate range. Also, it is important to use
the machine for several workouts in the manual mode while monitoring heart
rate. Users should compare their heart rate with how they feel to ensure
safety and comfort. After users have spent some time learning how their heart
responds to different levels of speed and incline, they will have a better
understanding of how to select the maximum speed and maximum incline required
for reaching their target heart rate.
Warm Up:
At the beginning of an HRC workout, the machine is in full Manual Control
mode. Users should gradually increase the workout intensity to slowly raise
their heart rate to within 10 bpm of their target heart rate. The machine will
operate as if in manual mode during the warm up stage. Users control both
speed and incline. The user may only increase speed and incline to the present
maximum values entered. It is important that the user starts at a low level of
perceived exertion and gradually increase the workout intensity over several
minutes until they approach their target heart rate. This enables the body to
adapt to the workout. Increasing the workout intensity gradually will enable
the user to enter the HRC stage without overshooting their target, keeping
their heart rate within a few bpm of their target.
Note: Warming up too fast may cause the user to overshoot their target. If
this occurs it may take several minutes before the computer software can
control their heart rate. Users may overshoot and undershoot for several
minutes until control is achieved.
Heart Rate Control Stage:
Heart Rate Controlled workouts take control of speed and incline, keeping the
user’s heart rate within a few bpm of their target. When using the Interval
HRC Workout, the machine alternates between work and rest intervals.
Cooldown:
At the end of the workout time or distance, the machine reduces the workout intensity by half and goes back into Manual
Control mode, where users directly control their cooldown. Truefitness.com / 800.426.6570 / 636.272.7100
