4.) Moisten the transmitter electrodes. For best results, the belt should be worn directly on your skin.
A small amount of moisture is needed to assist in conducting the electrical impulses generated from
your heart beats to the transmitter. Gently pull belt away from skin and
apply a small drop of water or saline solution to each of the two electrodes (one on each side) (Fig.
3).
If you prefer to wear your belt over a light shirt you will need to generously moisten the areas of the
shirt directly beneath the electrodes in order to insure proper signal pick-up. You may wear as many
layers of clothing as desired over the transmitter belt without effecting the operating range.
5.) Put your wrist monitor on. The watch doesn’t have to be attached to your wrist to register your
heart rate it just has to be within 3 feet of your chest.
