A buildup of sweat and salt on the strap can decrease the ability 

of the heart rate monitor to report accurate data.

• Rinse the heart rate monitor after every use.
• Hand wash the heart rate monitor after every seven uses, 

using a tiny amount of mild detergent, such as dishwashing 

liquid.

NOTE: 

Using too much detergent may damage the heart rate 

monitor.

• Do not put the heart rate monitor in a washing machine or 

dryer.

• When drying the heart rate monitor, hang it up or lay it flat.

2

Wait while the device locates satellites.

your Bluetooth enabled smartphone.

downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to quickly 

locate satellite signals.

buildings and trees.

• Remain stationary for a few minutes.
