Using a Chest Strap Transmitter

WARNING Signals used by the Chest Strap Transmitter (or heart rate strap) may interfere with pacemakers or other implanted devices. Consult your physician and the manufacturers of your Chest Strap Transmitter and implanted device before using a Chest Strap Transmitter.

Wearing a chest strap transmitter during your workout provides steady heart rate information. For the equipment to detect your heart rate, you must grip the touch heart rate sensors or wear a chest strap transmitter while exercising. In the presence of both touch and wireless data, the touch data takes precedence and will display.

Note: To receive an accurate reading, the strap needs to be in direct contact with the skin on the lower sternum (just below the bust line for women).

To use a chest strap transmitter:

1.Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water.

Important: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.

2.Adjust the strap and fasten it around your chest. The strap should feel snug, not restrictive.

3.Make sure that the chest strap is right-side-up, lies horizontally across, and is centered in the middle of your chest.

4.Test the chest strap placement by checking the heart rate function on the equipment. If a heart rate is registering, your chest strap placement is correct. If the equipment does not register a heart rate, readjust the strap and recheck the heart rate function.
