TRUE Lock™- Exercise Lock Feature
The ES700 and ES900 ellipticals include the TRUE Lock. This feature allows users to immobilize the foot
pedals. By locking the exercise machine, a user can create a more stable foot pedal when entering and
exiting the machine. TRUE Lock also prevents unintentional foot pedal movement when the machine is
stored and not in use.

The TRUE Lock knob is designed to be positioned in either the locked or unlocked position. Always make
sure it is secured fully in one of these positions. To operate, rst pull knob to disengage, then simply turn
in the appropriate direction. Once you have reached the correct position, release knob.
Caution: Before exercising, ensure knob has been pulled and fully rotated counter-clockwise to
unlock.
Caution: When locking the device, ensure knob has been pulled and fully rotated clockwise to
lock. Foot pedals must be in the neutral (at rest position) to lock. To ensure the system is locked, slightly
move one of the foot pedals fore or aft. If system is locked only very slight movement is possible. If foot
pedal is not locked, re-check knob for full rotation in the clockwise direction and move foot pedal until
locking pin engages.

Chapter 4: Programming &
Operation
Heart Rate Monitoring:
is elliptical can monitor your heart rate using either the chest strap provided with the elliptical or the metal
grips on the hand rails (called contact heart rate or CHR pads). A chest strap transmits your heart rate to the
elliptical via radio, and the CHR pads connect to a special computer circuit to extract your heart rate.
TRUE’s heart rate control (HRC) workouts let the elliptical monitor your relative exercise intensity by way
of your heart rate, then automatically adjust the workload to keep you at your target heart rate and thus your
desired exercise intensity.
Your heart rate is a good measure of your body’s exercise stress level. It reects dierences in your physical
condition, how tired you are, the comfort of the workout environment, even your diet and emotional state.
Using heart rate to control workload takes the guesswork out of your workout settings.
Consult your physician before using heart rate controlled workouts for advice on selecting a target heart rate
range. Also, it is important to use the elliptical for several workouts in the manual mode while monitoring your
heart rate. Compare your heart rate with how you feel to ensure your safety and comfort.
You need to wear a heart rate monitoring chest strap to use heart rate control. Monitoring is not recommended
when using the contact heart rate system for heart rate control workouts.
Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring:
Although this elliptical functions ne without using the heart rate monitoring
feature, this kind of monitoring gives you valuable feedback on your eort level.
Chest strap monitoring also allows you to use Heart Rate Control, the most
advanced exercise control system available.
When you wear a Polar® or compatible transmitter strap, the elliptical will display
your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute (bpm) readout.
e transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, about one inch
below the pectoral muscles/breast line (see picture). Women should be careful to
place the transmitter below their bra line.
Some moisture is necessary between the strap and your skin. Sweat from your
exercise works best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior to your workout if
desired.
