your heart rate sensor may be empty. For further

 

information, see Batteries (page 51).

moving away from the source of disturbance,

 

slow down your speed and check your pulse

 

manually. If you feel it corresponds to the high

cardiac arrhythmia. Most cases of arrhythmia are

 

not serious, but consult your doctor nevertheless.

 

• A cardiac event may have altered your ECG

 

waveform. In this case, consult your doctor.
