CHAPTER 3: PRODUCT OVERVIEW ELLIPTICAL OVERVIEW (continued): Console Assembly The console allows the user to set up a workout program and control the elliptical during a workout (For console overview and operation instructions refer to the owner’s manual for the selected console option). Upper Exercise Arms: Moving handles on the elliptical that provide resistance to the upper body during a workout.
CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING & OPERATION HEART RATE MONITORING This elliptical 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 elliptical via radio, and the CHR pads connect to a special computer circuit to extract the user’s heart rate.
CHAPTER 4: PROGRAMMING & OPERATION HEART RATE CONTROL (continued): The TRUE HRC system is unique because users must enter the key parameters of the workout; target heart rate, weight, age, and time, prior to beginning the HRC workout. As users approach their target heart rate, the elliptical’s computer takes full control over the workout and changes the workout intensity automatically to keep users near their target heart rate.
