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.

This allows for a completely “hands free” workout.
