To ensure a proper heart rate display, the chest transmitter must be moistened and properly adjusted. Wet
the electrodes (located to the right and left of the main transmitter case) with saliva or ECG conductive gel.
Do not use water, moisturizing creams or suntan oil, as these are insulators and may interfere with the heart
rate signal. Snap the plastic tabs at the end of the elastic belt into the holes at the end of the transmitter,
and adjust the strap so that the transmitter fits tightly below the pectoral muscles, as shown in the drawing.
NOTE:
Users with significant chest hair may have a problem obtaining contact between the transmitter
electrodes and their skin, resulting in poor performance. It may be necessary for these individuals to
shave the area of their chest beneath the transmitter.
NOTE:
In dry and cold climates it may take a few minutes of use for the electrodes to soften, and a layer of
perspiration to form between the contact and the skin for good performance. Moistening the electrodes
with saliva or ECG conductive gel can speed up this process.

The Delphi 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 receive speed and distance from a wireless transmitter
mounted to the front fork.
1. Attach the wireless front wheel sensor and rubber mounting pad to the front of
the left fork blade using the zip-ties provided so the battery cap is pointing
downward. Snug up the zip-ties but do not fully tighten them. The sensor
should be mounted as high on the fork blade as possible. The range of the
transmitter is approximately 18in (46cm). Mounting it high on the fork will
assure good signal reception. Other mounting locations may work, but we feel
this is the best location for most applications.
2. Attach the spoke magnet to a spoke on the same side of the wheel as the sensor.
Tighten the attachment screw just enough to hold the magnet in place but loose
enough so that it is still movable.
3. Adjust the position of the sensor and magnet so they are in proper alignment as
shown. The magnet should pass by the sensor adjacent to the molded plastic
line at a distance of 1-3mm.
4. Once everything is in alignment, fully tighten the spoke magnet in place and
tighten the zip-ties holding the sensor to the fork.
