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.
WARNING Signals used by the Chest Strap Transmitter (or heart rate strap) may interfere with
pacemakers or other implanted devices. Consult your physician and the manufacturers of your Chest Strap Transmitter and implanted device before using a Chest Strap Transmitter.
Note: To receive an accurate reading, the strap needs to be in direct contact with the skin on the lower sternum (just below the bust line for women).
1.Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water. Refer to the following figure.
Note: Do not use deionized water. It does not have the proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical impulses.
