•In dry, cold climates, it may take several minutes for the chest belt to function steadily. This is normal and should improve with several minutes of exercise.
NOTE To maintain the best performance of your chest belt, please handle it with care according to the following:
•Do not wrap the chest belt in a wet towel nor with other wet materials.
•Do not store the chest belt in a hot (about 50°C) and humid (about 90%) environment.
•Do not place or wash the chest belt under running water, instead clean it with a wet cloth.
•Do not place the conductive rubber face down on a metal table or surface.
•Properly dry the chest belt immediately after use.
Watch
You can wear the receiver watch on your wrist or strap it to a bike or exercise machine, as shown below.
For first installation of bike mount, refer to “Install bike mount” section in this manual.
TRANSMISSION SIGNAL
The heart rate chest belt and watch have a maximum transmission range of about 62.5 centimeters (25 inches). They are equipped with the latest digital coding system to reduce signal interference from the environment, as well as analog technology. For more accurate readings use the digital transmission signal. You should only switch to the analog transmission signal if the situation in point 2 occurs (see below).
NOTE Whenever the watch is searching for the chest belt signal (manual or automatic search), make sure that the chest belt is no further than 10 cm (4 inches) from the watch.
Your watch will advise you which system it is using and the signal status by displaying the following icons:
Icon | Description | |
Outside and | Searching for a signal | |
| ||
inside heart flashing |
| |
|
| |
Inside heart is | A signal has been found and the | |

flashing | ||
| ||
|
| |
Heart is flashing | A signal has been found and the | |
| analog system is being used | |
HR - - | No signal has been found | |
|
|
The signal search will take approximately 10 seconds. If after 10 seconds the heart icon is not flashing, then your signal search has been unsuccessful and you need to force another signal search.
