Potential reasons for the wireless heart rate not to work properly include:

 

1. The wireless heart rate is turned OFF in the Settings Menu. Enter

 

 

the Settings Menu and verify that WIRELESS HR is turned ON.

 

2. There is poor contact between the telemetry heart rate strap and

4.

The battery in the Heart Rate Telemetry Strap needs to be replaced.

3. Grasp sensors firmly.

 

4. Apply constant pressure to the sensors.

 

5. May need to wait longer for heart rate to display.

 

 

 

Note: The heart rate hand pulse sensors provide an approximate heart

 

rate value. The sensors are not medical devices and should not be used

 

in any type of medical application.
