Heart Rate Monitor
How the Digital Heart Rate Monitor Works
The Heart Rate Monitor is a combination of a Heart Rate Sensor and a sport watch. The Heart Rate Sensor attaches to your chest and measures the electrical signals generated by the heart as it is beating. Using this information, it then calculates your heart rate and transmits it to your watch. You simply glance at the watch during exercise/training to make sure you are in the appropriate heart rate range to maintain or improve your fitness level.
How to Use the Digital Heart Rate Monitor
1.Wet the Heart Rate Sensor pads . THIS IS ESSENTIAL for proper operation of the Heart Rate Monitor.
2.Put on the chest strap. Fasten the strap snugly around your chest,just below the breasts. Be sure the transmitter is centered on the chest and is right side up so the logo can be read by someone facing you.
3.Start the Heart Rate Monitor: Refer to the user manual for your watch for detailed instructions on viewing heart rate data.
Warning
This is not a medical device and is not recommended for use by persons with serious heart conditions. You should always consult your physician before beginning or modifying an exercise program.
Interference with the radio signal,poor contact between your skin and the chest strap, and other factors may prevent accurate transmission of heart rate data.
Maintenance
Rinse Heart Rate Sensor and strap in fresh water to avoid build up of materials that can interfere with the measurement of your heart rate.
Transmitter Battery Life and Replacement
Battery life of the transmitter should exceed two years, based upon using it an hour a day. Greater usage will shorten the battery life. Replace transmitter battery when any of the following occur:
•The watch no longer receives heart rate information from the chest transmitter when properly worn on the chest.
•Error messages (COMM ERR, SIGNAL LOST) appear with increased frequency on the display.
Battery Replacement
NOTE: You’ll need to have a device (such as a watch) capable of displaying heart rate information to verify that the new
