How To Properly Wear A Wireless Chest Strap/Transmitter:
1.
Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the transmitter
2.
Adjust the strap so that it can be buckled into the other end of the chest strap, it must fit
snug on your chest, but not too tight to restrict your breathing.
3.
The center part of the transmitter must be just below your sternum and below the
chest/pectoral muscles
4.
Moisten the conductive electrode strips touching your skin with water, ECG gel or other
conductive liquids. Do not use Vaseline or oils which may isolate the transmitter making it
unable to detect the heart rate signals.
5.
After every use, wash the transmitter with a towel and warm soap solution and dry the
transmitter thoroughly. The elastic strap should only be hand washed in warm water and
never placed in a washing machine and never dried using a dryer. To maximize the battery
life, store in a dry area.
6.
Do not stretch or bend the transmitter as this will damage the electrodes.
Chest Strap Troubleshooting:
No heart rate reading
9
Check that the elastic strap is tight enough around your body.
9
Check that the electrodes on the transmitter are moistened properly.
9
Check that the transmitter electrodes are clean.
9
While wearing the transmitter, adjust the strap to get a different position.
9
If transmitter was just placed on, wait a few minutes while the transmitter gets a good
connection with your body. When you start to sweat the connection may improve.
9
Check to see if battery is still working. The estimated average battery life of the
transmitter is 2000 hours of use. If the battery of the transmitter is running low, the
transmission range decreases and may cause errors similar to the ones listed above.
Heart Rate reading is erratic (heart symbol flashes irregularly)
9
Check that the receiver is within the three feet maximum distance from the transmitter.
9
A hairy chest or clothing may also weaken the contact. Try to find the best possible position
for the transmitter.
Heart Rate is very high (above 200bpm)
9
Your wireless transmitter is a sensitive device and may fluctuate erratically because it may
temporarily be affected by strong electromagnetic and/or radio signals. This may cause
erratic and often elevated heart rate displays. Common sources causing interference
include televisions, wireless internet transmitters, cell phones, computers, cars and high
voltage power lines. Check your surroundings and move away from the source of
interference.
9
Note: That Static electricity from 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 clothing in the area where the transmitter is.
In some cases where the transmission range is at the extremes, for example rowing or biking
where the receiver is not attached to the wrist, the receiver may display the same heart rate for
a long time. To avoid this, keep the distance within 3 feet.
