The monitor has two components: a chest belt and a
sensor unit (see the drawing below). Insert the tab on
one end of the chest best into one end of the sensor
unit, as shown in the insert drawing. Press the end of
the sensor unit under the buckle on the chest belt. The

STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
Dry the chest belt monitor after each use. The chest
belt monitor is activated when you wet the electrode
areas and put on the chest belt monitor; the chest
belt Monitor shuts off when it is removed and the
electrode areas are dried. If the chest belt monitor is
not dried after each use, the battery may be drained
prematurely

position against your chest.
