• Tighten the elastic part of the chest belt.
• Adjust the belt higher or lower on your chest.
• Remoisten the electrodes.
• Test your chest strap with a machine that you know is working, or
with a heart rate watch that you know is working.
• If possible, replace or exchange your console with a console
(from the same type of machine) that you know is working and
retest the machine.
• Visually check that the heart rate receiver is positioned correctly
in the neck cover. The heart rate receiver jack should point down.
Ensure that the heart rate receiver is connected to the console,
and that the connection is not loose. If possible, swap the heart
rate receiver with one from another machine.

Maintaining the Transmitter Belt
Clean the chest belt regularly with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly -
residual sweat and moisture keep the transmitter active and drain the battery
in the transmitter. Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or
alcohol for cleaning, as they can damage the electrodes permanently. You can
order replacement belts from StairMaster, Polar Electro, Inc., or your local
fitness store:
