Wearing a Chest Strap
During a workout, the heart rate features appear on the display when you wear a chest strap. To receive an accurate reading, the chest strap needs to be in direct contact with your skin.
1.Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water Refer to Diagram 7.
Note: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.
