Chapter 1: Safety Instructions
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: ES700
• is product must be grounded. Grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. is product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. e plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock.
Check with a qualied electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product; if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
• e 120-V model is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in gure A. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same conguration as the plug. No
adaptor should be used with this product.

Chapter 4: Programming &
Operation
Heart Rate Monitoring:
is bike can monitor your heart rate using either the chest strap provided with the bike or the metal grips on
the seat handlebars (called contact heart rate or CHR pads). A chest strap transmits your heart rate to the bike
via radio, and the CHR pads connect to a special computer circuit to measure 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 reects dierences 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 bike 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 bike functions ne without using the heart rate monitoring feature,
this kind of monitoring gives you valuable feedback on your eort 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 bike 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.

Chapter 4: Programming &
Operation
A Note On Heart Rate Monitoring:
e chest strap produces an FM signal that the bike reads in order to registers your heart rate. e accuracy of a
reading may be aected when outside interference is present.
Contact Heart Rate (chr):
e CHR system lets you monitor your heart rate without wearing a strap.
Gently grasp the CHR pads.
During this time, the system is analyzing and locking in your heart rate.
Within 15 seconds, your digital heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) should be displayed.
Important:
Exercise with smooth body motions.
Breathe smoothly and regularly, and avoid talking.
(Talking will cause inaccurate heart rate spikes of 5 to 10 bpm.)
Grip the pads lightly, not tightly.
Make sure your hands are clean, free of both dirt and hand lotions.
When using a HRC workout, it is best to use chest strap monitoring.
Heart rate based workouts work best with the extra accuracy gained from a chest strap heart rate monitoring
system.
A Note on CHR Accuracy:
CHR monitoring may be less accurate than a chest strap, since the heart rate signals are much stronger at the
chest.

your work level to slowly raise your heart rate to within 10 beats per minute (bpm) of your target heart rate.
At the heart rate control stage: e bike takes control of workload and resistance
keeping your heart rate within a few bpm of your target. If you are using interval HRC, the bike alternates
between work and rest intervals.
Cool-down: At the end of your workout time or distance, the bike reduces workload by half and goes
back into Manual Control mode, where you directly control your cool-down.
Heart Rate Cruse Control:
While in any workout, set your current heart rate as your target heart rate by pressing the HRC CRUISE
CONTROL key.
