Tighten the elastic band. If the chest belt is too loose, there will be either poor
registration or no registration at all of the heart signals.
The band can be placed just below the edge of a bra, or under the band of the
bra in order to sit more securely.
Storage and care
The heart rate chest belt consists of a plastic unit and an elastic band. The plastic unit
has two electrodes on the back side to register the heart rate, as well as a radio
transmitter in the middle to transmit the heart rate signals to the receiver.
Cleaning
After each session, clean the band thoroughly with water and mild soap (the same used
for cleaning the exercise cycles). Thoroughly clean the two grooved electrode surfaces
Never use alcohol or other cleaning solutions or harsh materials when cleaning, as
this could severely damage the chest belt.
Avoid immersing the chest belt in water, as liquid may work its way into the battery
through the seal on the battery cover.
Clean the elastic band by hand with ordinary laundry detergent (maximum 30º C).
Consider the possibility of allergies when selecting a laundry detergent!
Storage
Do not expose the chest belt to temperatures outside the 0º C to 50º C range.
Avoid storing it in direct sunlight.
Do not pull or bend the plastic part of the chest belt forcefully, as this could
damage the electrodes.
Do not store the chest belt damp, for example along with sweaty work-out
clothes. This causes the band to "think" that it is still on a person and it will not
turn off, which shortens the lifetime of the battery. .
We recommend hanging the belts on a long peg (Note: avoid pegs with a hook in
the end as they might damage the plastic fittings when taken on and off) on the
wall or store them in a basket after being dried.
Chest belt battery
The chest belt is powered by a lithium battery (CR 2032), which does not need to be
charged between classes. The lifetime of the battery (supplied with the band) is
normally about 1,000 hours when used 1 hour/day. Differences in battery use may arise
between different chest belts.
