Wearing the Chest Strap Transmitter

The Precor Heart Rate Option is a completely wireless system. A built-in receiver displays continual feedback about your heart rate when you wear the transmitter strap around your chest. No bulky wires or cables interfere with your movements.

The wireless chest strap contains the electrodes that transmit your heart rate (pulse) to the receiver. To get an accurate reading, the electrodes need to be moist and in direct contact with your skin. Be sure to wear the chest strap underneath your clothing.

Take the following steps to put on the chest strap:

1.Adjust the tightness of the chest strap by sliding the buckle along the strap.

2. Determine the length of the strap by wrapping it around

your chest. Without stretching the strap, check the

6 in.

(15 cm)distance between the two ends of the strap. For a snug fit, the ends of the strap should be about 6 inches (15 cm) apart. See Diagram 12.

3. Remove the strap from around your chest and carefully dampen the electrode strips with tap water as shown in Diagram 13 or use the Precor spray. Do not use deionized water. To function properly, the electrodes need the salts and minerals found in non-purified water. During your workout, your perspiration keeps the electrodes moist.

4.Buckle the strap around your chest. The strap should feel

snug, not restrictive. Make sure that the transmitter lies horizontally across your chest and is centered in the middle of your chest. See Diagram 14.

Note: The chest strap transmitter has a one-year warranty. Some straps have a replaceable battery and other straps are disposable. To change the battery, refer to Changing the Battery in the Chest Strap.

With the proper adjustment of the chest strap, you are ready to begin using the Precor Heart Rate Option.
