Heart
Rate Control
INTRODUCTION
You
are
nowlhe
owner
of the
most sophisticated Heart
Rate
Control product
available.
The
TRUE
HRC
accommodates users
in
rehabilitation
to
world class
athletes
and all
those
in
between.
The
TRUE
HRC
allows
you to do a
completely
hands-free heart rate controlled workout.
By
training
at a
specific target heart rate,
you can
exercise
at a
more efficient
cardiovascular
level.
The
TRUE
HRC
system
is
unique because
you can
enter
the key
parameter
of
your
workout
and
target heart rate prior
to the
beginning
of
your
HRC
workout.
As
you
approach your target heart rate,
the
product software takes over
and
changes
workload
to
keep
you
near your target heart rate. This gives
you a
completely
"hands-free" workout.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Before
selecting
a
target heart rate control workout,
it is
important
to
use
the
product
for
several workouts
in
the
manual mode while
monitoring
your
heart
rate.
You
can
monitor your heart rate during workouts
by
wearing
the
heart rate
transmitter
(or
holding
contact pads
on
handle bars
on 600
models).
Your
heart
rate
will
automatically appear
in the
upper right hand window
and the
heart-shaped
light
will
blink
to
indicate
a
signal
is
being received.
After
you
have spent some time learning
how
your heart reacts
to
different
levels
of
work,
you
will
have
a
better understanding
of how to
select your
target
heart rate.
rZTRUE
Heart
Rate
Control
2-12
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
HEART
RATE
CONTROL
Before
beginning
Heart
Rate
Control,
you
must
first
attach
the
heart rate transmitter around your
chest.
The
radio frequency transmitter strap
should
be
worn
directly
against your
skin,
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. Perspiration
on
your
skin
is
necessary
for
proper transmission.
In
most cases,
by the end of
your warm
up,
transmission becomes consistent
and
accurate.
If
not,
water
should
be
used
to
moisten
the
sensors
on the
back
of the
strap.
If
no
transmitter
is
available, hold contact pads
(on 600
models only)
on
handle bars
to get
heart rate.
The
Heart
(V)
LED
will
flash, showing
that
the
heart rate
signal
is
received.
