the
owner
of 1he
most sophisticated Heart Rate
Control
commercial
product
available.
The
TRUE
HRC
accommodates users
in
rehabilrtalion
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

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.

heart
rate
will
automatically
appear
in the
lower right hand window
and the
heart-shaped

blink
to
indicate
a
signal
is
being received.

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.

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,
saline
solution should
be
used
to
moisten
the
sensors
on the
back
of the
strap.
If
no
transmitter
is
available, hold contact pads
on
handle bars
to get
heart
rate.
The
Heart
(V)
LED
will
flash, showing that
the
heart rate signal
is
received.
