Troubleshooting

If you don't know where you are in the menu,

press and hold BACK until the time is displayed.

If there are no reactions to any buttons, reset the

wrist unit by pressing all the buttons simultaneously for two seconds. All other settings except time and date will be saved.

If the heart rate reading becomes erratic,

extremely high or shows nil (00), make sure no other heart rate transmitter is within 1 m/3 ft, and that the transmitter strap fits snugly and the electrodes of the transmitter are moistened, clean and undamaged.

Strong electromagnetic signals can cause erratic readings. If the abnormal reading continues despite moving away from the source of disturbance, slow down and check your pulse manually. If you feel it corresponds to the high reading on the display, you may be experiencing cardiac arrhythmia. Most cases of arrhythmia are not serious, but consult your doctor nevertheless.

A cardiac event may have altered your ECG waveform. In this case, consult your physician.

If heart rate measurement does not work despite the actions mentioned previously, the battery of your transmitter may be empty. For further information, see chapter Caring for Your Heart Rate Monitor.
