True Manufacturing Company PS/50 manual Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitoring

USING THE CHEST STRAP

CHAPTER ONE: RIDING YOUR BIKE

When you wear a Polar® or compatible transmitter strap, the bike will display your heart rate as a digital beats-per-minute(bpm) readout.

The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, about one inch below the pectoral muscles/ breast line (see picture below). Women should be careful to place the transmitter

below their bra line.

CHEST STRAP HEART RATE MONITORING

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.
