(Note: The transmitter is on automatically when being worn. It is off when it is not connected to your body.
However, as moisture may activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry the transmitter to prolong battery life.)

Erratic Heart Rate Readings:

Erratic readings on the receiver can be caused by electromagnetic disturbances. If the heart rate readings
appear to be abnormal, check that your product is not within range of other strong electromagnetic signals.
Common sources are televisions, computers, cars, cell phones, TV antennas and high voltage power lines
(both  above  and  below  ground).  Please  note:  Static  electricity  in  clothing  or  a  flapping  shirt  can  cause
electrical interference, so some items of clothing, i.e. man-made fibers, can also be the cause. Please try
wetting the t-shirt in the area where the transmitter is.

If the battery of the transmitter is running low, the transmission range decreases and may cause errors similar
to the ones listed above in this document.

Heart rate is an important key to your exercise

Medical research has shown us that there is an amount of exercise, which is enough to condition the cardio
respiratory system and the muscles of the body. This amount of exercise is between 60% and 85% of your
maximum heart rate measured during a training session. This range allows enough exercise to achieve fitness,
but not an excessive amount to cause injury. Your heart rate is an excellent indicator of the amount of stress
placed on the cardiovascular system.

If exercise intensity is too low or too high, no gains will be made in fitness. If the intensity is too low, the
stress levels are ineffective. If the intensity is too high, injury or fatigue may set your exercise program back
as you try to recover.  Your target heart rate, the intensity needed to improve cardiovascular fitness, depends
primarily on your age and not your state of fitness. It is calculated as a percentage of your maximum heart
rate, estimated as 220 minus your age. It is most effective to train at your target heart rate between 60% and
85% of your maximum heart rate.

Get a smart start on exercising.

Anyone over the age of 35, as well as younger persons whom are overweight, should check with his/her
physician before beginning any type of exercise program. People who have diabetes or high blood pressure,
a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol or have lead a sedentary lifestyle should protect themselves
with  a  medical  check-up  and  a  stress  test,  preferably  administered  during  exercise  by  a  healthcare
professional.

· 

Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and afterwards to cool down.

· 

The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up muscles before a vigorous
workout, and building your heart rate slowly.

· 

After your aerobic workout of about 24-32 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually reducing your heart
rate with a lower resistance level.

Remember, to start slow, with intensity low, until you build endurance and strength. And always consult your
physician before beginning any exercise program.
