PROBLEM:
Erratic or inconsistent Readout.
SOLUTION:
This is often caused by dry electrodes or a loose chest strap. Moisture
on the rubber electrodes is required for proper operation. Try a more generous coat-
ing of water on the electrodes and tightening the chest strap.
Chest your exercise environment for sources of interference such as high power lines,
large motors, etc.
You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:
• Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure
while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
• Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate grips
while exercising.
• When you are breathing heavily during a workout.
• When you hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
• When you hands are dry or cold. Try moistening your palms or rubbing them
together to warm.
• Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.
• Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.
• Anyone whose skin on the measuring palms is especially thick.
Note:
Outside interference sources such as computers, motors and fluorescent
lights may cause the heart rate reading to be erratic.
If the above thoubleshooting section does not remedy the problem,
discontinue use and turn the power off.
