310XT ADAPTER KIT
for the Garmin 310XT Transmitter
User Guide
This document, along with the images, will provide direction for the adaptation of the HUMAN Heart Rate Monitor chest
strip transmitter. The purpose of this kit is to adapt the human 'chest-belt' style transmitter for use with the saddled horse.
NOTE: THIS KIT DOES NOT CONTAIN A TRANSMITTER. YOU APPLY THE LEADS TO YOUR
TRANSMITTER
.
If the leads are properly connected to the transmitter and a good solid wet connection is made under the saddle and girth,
the heart rate monitor will function properly. The Garmin transmitter is very sensitive to movement or a loose girth. It is
VERY important to make sure the girth is secure and the electrode site is wet with electrode gel, aloe gel or water.
NOTE TO GARMIN 310XT USERS
TEST THE GARMIN CHEST BELT TRANSMITTER ON YOU
BEFORE
YOU MODIFY THE TRANSMITTER WITH THE
ADAPTER KIT.
Read the GARMIN USER GUIDE for directions how to place it on you and setup the Garmin device. Make sure you can
obtain a heart rate. If you cannot observe YOUR heart rate, there is an issue with the Garmin unit. Refer this back to the
dealer who sold you the Garmin system.
