Interference During Exercise

Electromagnetic Interference and Exercise

Equipment. Disturbance may occur near high-voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines of electric railways, electric bus lines or trams, televisions, car motors, bike computers, some motor-driven exercise equipment, cellular phones, or when you walk through electric security gates. Microwave ovens, computers and WLAN base stations may also cause interference when exercising with RS800. To avoid erratic readings, move away from possible sources of disturbance.

Exercise equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors and electrical brakes may cause interfering stray signals. To solve these problems, try the following:

E N G L I S H

1.Remove the transmitter from your chest and use the exercise equipment as you would normally.

2.Move the running computer around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or does not flash the heart symbol. Interference is often worst directly in front of the display panel of the equipment, while the left or right side of the display is relatively free of disturbance.

3.Put the transmitter back on your chest and keep the running computer in this interference-free area as much as possible.

If the running computer still does not work with the exercise equipment, it may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement.
