potential Causes for no Heart rate reading or long response time:
Cause: dry skin
solution:
Apply conductive gel thoroughly to chest area (for Chest-Strap measurement) or finger
(for Finger-Touch measurement). Tap water may help if conductive gel is not available.
Cause: Chest strap is not contacting with skin
solution:
Make sure the chest strap is secured firmly just below the breast plate (see page 6)
and the watch is fastened securely on wrist.
Cause: muscle tremors caused by pressing on sensors too hard (finger touch)
solution:
decrease finger pressure on the sensor Pads.
Cause: dead skin on wrist, finger or chest
solution:
rub off excessive dead skin with a towel
Cause: a thin layer of body grease insulates the eCg signal preventing the Chest strap or watch
from detecting eCg heart rate
solution:
wipe chest / wrist and the back of chest strap/ watch with a tissue or soft towel.
Cause: Hairy skin
solution:
apply conductive gel to chest area or wrist.
Cause: low battery
solution:
replace the battery in watch/transmitter and try again.
Cause: electrical field interference from rf devices (Chest-strap measurement) such as overhead
power lines, electrical noise, etc.
solution:
leave the area where rf sources potentially exist.
