The chest belt registers the heart beat. This is sent to the computer by an electromagnetic
pulse. The computer will display the heart rate. Below you will find step by step
instructions on how to use the chest belt.
1. Moisten the ribbed electrode plates on the inside of the chest belt.
2. Place the chest belt just below the breast muscles and fasten the band. Adjust the
length of the elastic band to make it tight but not too tight to be uncomfortable.
3. Make sure that the moistened electrode plates are in direct contact with the skin.
4. When the computer receives your heart rate, this will automatically be displayed.
In case the computer doesn't display your heart rate, check to see if the electrodes are
moist and if the band is tight enough.
