•If the heart rate monitor still does not function prop- erly, test the heart rate monitor in the following way:
HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Hold the heart rate monitor and place your thumbs over the elec- trode areas as shown.
Electrode Areas |
• Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each |
use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the |
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate |
monitor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off |
when it is removed and the electrode areas are |
dried. If the heart rate monitor is not dried after each |
use, it may remain activated longer than necessary, |
draining the battery prematurely. |
Next, hold the
heart rate monitor near the console.
While holding one thumb stationary, begin tapping the other thumb against the electrode area at a rate of about one tap per second.
Check the heart rate reading on the console.
•If the heart rate monitor does not function properly after you have followed all of the above instructions, the battery should be replaced in the following way:
Locate the battery cover on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover, turn the cover coun- terclockwise, and remove it.
Remove the old |
| |
battery and insert a |
| |
new CR 2032 bat- | CR 2032 | |
tery; make sure | ||

| |
tery cover and turn |

it clockwise to |
| |
close it. |
