Note
: This chest strap can contain latex components. In rare cases, allergic reactions
can occur to this substance, in the form of – possibly relatively intensive – skin
irritations and redness. Therefore, if you should even only notice slight redness,
please discontinue using the chest strap immediately. In this case, we recommend
that you see a dermatologist.
Batteries
2.1
Your heart rate monitor runs on a 3 V CR2032 battery.
Below are some directions on the use of batteries:
•
Never expose the batteries to excessive heat such as sunlight, fire or the like -
increased danger of leakage!
•
Never recharge the battery.
•
Do not short-circuit the battery and do not take it apart – explosion hazard!
•
If necessary clean the battery and unit contacts before inserting the battery.
•
Flat batteries should be immediately removed from the device. There is
increased danger of leakage.
•
Remove the battery when the device is not in use for a longer period of time.
•
Caution! There is a risk of explosion, if the battery is not changed correctly. Only
replace the battery with one of the same or similar type.
•
Keep the batteries and heart rate monitor out of reach of children. Batteries can
be swallowed by children. Seek immediate medical attention, if this happens.
•
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membrane if leakage occurs. Upon
contact with battery acid rinse the affected area with plenty of water and seek
medical help immediately.
Non-compliance with these instructions can lead to damage and under certain
circumstances to explosion of the batteries. Details on how to change the batteries
can be found under Section 5.9 „Battery change“.
Operational Environment Conditions
2.2
The heart rate monitor can be operated continuously at an ambient temperature of 32
°F to 122 °F. The heart rate monitor is protected against shocks, which may occur
during normal wearing on the arm. No evidence of condensation is allowed in a heart
rate monitor as this might trigger a short circuit. The heart rate monitor should
therefore never be exposed to extreme changes in temperature. The unit should
never be placed near very strong magnet fields (e.g. electrical welding equipment,
current transformers) as this could cause variations in the time measurement. Non-
compliance with these directions can result in malfunction or damage of the heart
rate monitor.
Water Resistance
2.3
The heart rate monitor and its chest strap are water-resistant up to 98 feet. In the
table below, you can see the activities and conditions for which the heart rate
monitor is suitable. The details are based on a test of water-resistance according to
DIN 8310.
