Solution

The heart rate data is

• Make sure that the heart rate monitor is snug against your

inaccurate or erratic.

body.

 

• Reapply moisture to the electrodes. Use water, saliva, or

 

electrode gel.

 

• Clean the electrodes. Dirt and sweat residue on the

 

electrodes can interfere with heart rate signals.

 

• Position the heart rate monitor on your back instead of your

 

chest.

 

• Wear a cotton shirt or wet your shirt if suitable for your

 

activity. Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart

 

rate monitor can create static electricity that interferes with

 

heart rate signals.

 

• Move away from sources of strong electromagnetic fields

 

and some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, which can interfere

 

with your heart rate monitor. Sources of interference

 

may include high-voltage power lines, electric motors,

 

microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones, and wireless

 

LAN access points.
