You are now the owner of the most sophisticated
Heart Rate Control treadmill available. The TRUE
HRC is unique and patented. It accommodates
users from rehabilitation to world class athletes, and
all those in between. The TRUE HRC treadmill
allows you to do a completely hands free heart rate
controlled workout using speed, grade or both.
By training at a specific target heart rate, you can
exercise at a more efficient cardiovascular level.
The TRUE HRC system is unique because it
allows you to key parameters of your workout;
target heart rate, maximum speed, maximum grade,
and time, prior to beginning your HRC workout. As
you approach your target heart rate, the treadmill’s
computer takes over and changes the speed and/or
grade automatically to keep you near your target
heart rate. This gives you a completely “hands free”
workout.

Before selecting a target heart rate control workout, it
is important to use the treadmill 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 included with your
treadmill.
After you have spent some time learning how your
heart responds to different levels of speed and grade,
you will have a better understanding of how to select
the maximum speed and maximum grade required to
reach your target heart rate.

Interval heart rate training takes your workout to
an even higher level. Interval training allows you to
program periods of rest between periods of work.
For each workout, you enter target heart rate,
maximum speed, maximum grade, duration of
workout, and duration of work and rest intervals.
These are time-based workouts. The distance
traveled will depend on your speed.
44.. CCrruuiissee CCoonnttrrooll ((sseeee 22--1166))
Manual workout with heart rate transmitter. When
you reach desired heart rate, press cruise control
key and it’s hands-free.
55.. MMaannuuaall WWoorrkkoouutt::
This is a completely user controlled workout. You
control the speed and the grade throughout your work
out. Your heart rate may be monitored during this
workout, but it is not heart rate controlled.
66.. PPrrooggrraammss::
There are four preprogrammed workouts:
• Hill Interval workout
• Weight Loss workout
• Cardiovascular workout
• Speed Interval workout
Each workout has nine levels of intensity. The
treadmill controls both the speed and grade.
These are not heart rate controlled, but will
monitor heart rate.
User determines duration of programs are 15:00
to 99:00 minutes.
77.. UUsseerr PPrrooggrraamm::
A total of 50 changes can be made to speed
and/or grade in a user program. One change per
30 second time block, IE: (0-:30, :30-1:00,1:00-
1:30) can be made.
88.. MMeetthhoodd UUsseedd TToo IInnccrreeaassee HHeeaarrtt RRaattee::
To raise your heart rate in the HRC mode, speed
will always increase until maximum speed is
attained, followed by grade (if grade is used
in the workout).
99.. MMeetthhoodd UUsseedd TToo DDeeccrreeaassee HHeeaarrtt RRaattee::
To lower heart rate in the HRC mode, grade will
always decrease until zero grade is reached,
followed by speed (if grade is used in the workout).
1100.. SSppeeeedd CChhaannggee::
Each change in speed is in .1 mph increments.

The heart rate control workouts are files which store workout parameters once you have completed an
HRC program. You do not need to enter all parameters each time you use the same workout. Just insert the
safe
ty
key, select which file or workout you want, and press start.
