The transmitter strap should be worn directly against your skin, about one inch below the pectoral muscles/breast line (see picture below). Women should be careful to place the transmitter below their bra line.

Examples of Heart Rates

Found in Daily Life

An average 30-year-old might have a resting heart rate, when sitting totally still for several minutes, of 65. During hard exercise that can be sustained for 10 to 15 minutes it might be around 140 continuous- ly. A maximum heart rate that requires maximal exercise for several min- utes to attain is 185.

A 30-year-old in good shape might have a rest- ing heart rate near 55, and might exercise for 20 minutes at a heart rate of 160.

A world-class distance run- ner or professional cyclist might have a resting heart rate near 45.

Some moisture is necessary between the strap and your skin. Sweat from your exercise works best, but ordinary tap water may be used prior to your workout if desired.
