If you are having difficulty acquiring your heart rate, try the following:
1.
Make sure your LifeTrak fitness tracker is snugly strapped to your wrist.
A loose fit makes it more difficult to properly measure your heart rate.
2.
Upon putting on for the first time, allow a one-minute “warm up” before trying to
acquire your heart rate.
3.
When touching the heart sensor button (

), make sure you are using the soft,
flat pads of your fingers, not the tips of your fingers.
4.
Touch gently with enough pressure to activate the heart sensor button (

).
Pressing too hard can make it difficult to measure your heart rate.
5.
Make sure the back metal plate is lying flat on your skin.
6.
Make sure your wrist and fingers are clean and free from dirt, oils,
or lotions.
7.
Clean the heart sensor button (

) and back metal plate with a mild soap and
water, or similar cleaning solution.
8.
Moisten with water the pads of the fingers you are using to contact the heart sensor
button (

).
9.
Moisten the surface between the back metal plate and the skin on your wrist with
water.
