Chest belt
ATTENTION:
Pacemaker patients should consult their physicians before
using the chest belt.
Wearing the chest belt
Adjust the chest belt so that it fits snugly
directly below the chest muscles.
Moisten the contact areas with water
or ECG gel (ECG gel can be
purchased at a pharmacy). Ensure that
the contact areas constantly remain in
skin contact. Position the chest belt as
per the following illustration. Please
ensure that the chest belt is seated
properly. When you have exhaled
completely the chest belt should still
have very slight tension pressing it to
your chest. High voltage power lines,
Trains or moving vehicular traffic may
interfere with the heart rate
measurement. Please consider this
when planning your exercise route.
Coded transmission
The chest belt's transmissions are digitally coded to prevent interference if you are
training with a training partner who is using an identical watch and chest belt.
When using the chest belt for the first time, a random channel is selected
automatically. The channel is briefly displayed at the top of the display upon
entering the heart rate display mode. The available channels are CH10, CH11,
CH12, CH13 and CH14.
The channel can be changed by briefly removing the battery from the chest best and
reinserting it. The chest belt will randomly select a channel and after approx. 1
minute the heart rate and the new channel will appear on the display of the watch.
