Blank screen or missing digits? 

This can be an indication of mechanical shock damage, a dead 
battery or possibly moisture damage. If this occurs, you could first try
a Global Reset (see below) otherwise send it in for service. Repairs
should only be done by a Vetta Dealer or a Vetta service center.

Stuck or Erratic Display? 

If your monitor should ever get stuck or act erratically due to 
dropping it, static shock or some other unforeseen reason, The
Global Reset feature will allow you to reset the unit and return all
settings back to their internal defaults. To perform this function press
and hold both buttons at once. Caution:

including all of your personal settings.

My heart rate readings act strange while in my car or on an 
airplane.

Though the HR409 is designed with high integrity 

interference elimination circuitry, extremely excessive electrical or
magnetic fields like those in a vehicle (or on board an aircraft) can
cause disturbances in the heart rate readings. When your monitor
detects too much interference such as this, it will usually display "00"
or “- -” and eventually turn its heart rate circuit off. The 

indicator

tells you if the heart rate circuit is on. In most cases, holding the
monitor within a foot of the front of the chest belt will allow your
monitor to receive the signal and display your heart rate accurately.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR HR409

Your Vetta Heart Rate Monitor was built with a commitment to 
quality and dependability. To extend the life of your monitor and
keep it operating at its peak, please read your instructions carefully
and keep the following tips in mind.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

To maximize the life of your heart monitor it is important that 

you keep all of its components clean and always dry off any 
moisture before putting it away. For cleaning, use only mild soap
and water. Be careful to never use abrasive cleaners or chemicals
as they will cause permanent damage.

For safekeeping, always store your monitor in its original box

and in a safe, mild and dry location. Be sure not to expose it to
extreme temperatures such as, leaving it in direct sunlight or in a
hot or freezing cold car for extended periods of time.
