SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND TIPS FOR CHEST STRAP
1. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that all users of this unit have read the Owner's
Manual and are familiar with warnings and safety precautions.
2. Do not place chest strap near devices that generate large magnetic fields. TV sets, elec-
tric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can affect the transmitter’s performance.
These items can interfere with the heart rate signal and possibly affect the heart rate read-
ings on the console.
3. Handle the Chest Strap with care. Dropping the transmitter might cause damage that could
void the warranty.
4. Do not use the chest strap if you have a cardiac pacemaker or if your are taking medications
for a heart condition. Medication or electrical pulses from the pacemaker can interfere with
accurate heart rate readings.
5. Do not bend the strips inside the chest strap. This can cause the chest strap to lose
conductivity.
6. The chest strap has batteries that need to be replaced periodically. A faulty battery can
cause an inaccurate reading.
