4. Take off and rinse your heart rate belt or other Movesense garment (see 5.1. Handling
guidelines).
NOTE: Dry skin under the belt electrodes, a loose or worn out chest strap, and synthetic
shirt materials can cause abnormally high heart rate readings. Moisten the belt electrodes
well and tighten the belt to avoid heart rate peaks. If you are otherwise concerned about
your heart rate, please consult a doctor.

where the use of a watch or smartphone is not convenient.
