4. CARE AND SUPPORT
4.1 Practical tips
If the heart rate belt does not seem to be sending heart rate data:
1. Ensure the contacts (electrodes) are wet.
2. Adjust the belt so that it fits tighter against your chest.
4. Change the battery.
5. If your skin tends to remain dry during the workout, you can improve the
contact by using electrode gel.
4.2 Battery
The heart rate belt transmitter operates on a 3-Volt lithium cell, type: CR
2025. The average expected battery life is 200 hours of use in ideal
operating temperatures.
Replace the battery as illustrated here:
NOTE:
Suunto recommends that the battery cover and the O ring are
changed simultaneously with the battery to ensure that the transmitter
remains clean and water resistant.
4.3 Washing the belt, replacing the belt
We recommend that the textile chest strap is machine washed in 40C after
every 2-3 uses. This prolongs the lifetime of the textile part.
NOTE
: Do not machine wash the transmitter module. Always detach the
transmitter module from the textile strap before machine washing the textile
strap.
The average expected performance of the textile strap is 6 months in normal
use (2-3 training sessions weekly). Thereafter, the conductive qualities of
the textile strap gradually deteriorate. We then recommend that the textile
belt is replaced.
NOTE:
You do not need to replace the transmitter module; only the textile
chest strap needs to be replaced.
