If you want to reach your exercise goals, it’s important to stay in
your THRZ during workouts. A heart rate monitor provides a
reminder of the intensity and quality of each workout session.
Landice heart rate monitors are used to monitor your level of
exercise intensity during workouts. Pulse meters have a high
margin for error. Manual pulse measurements during exercise
can result in errors as high as ±15 beats per minute, with the
risk of potential error increasing as heart rate increases.
1.3.1. Wireless Chest Strap Monitoring System
Note:
The wireless chest strap is optional.
The Wireless Chest Strap transmitter works best against bare
skin. Because sweat (salt water) is an electrical conductor, the
transmitter will work over a T-shirt if the shirt is wet with sweat.
If you are having trouble getting an accurate pulse reading, try
wearing the belt against bare skin.

Center the transmitter on the chest as high under the pectoral
muscles (breasts) as possible. Tighten the strap so that the belt
is as tight as possible without being uncomfortable.
1.3.2. Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System
The Contact Heart Rate Monitoring System can be used in
place of the wireless chest strap to perform any of the following
functions:
• Monitor your Time in Zone
• Heart Rate Control (HRC) program adjustment
• Help you maintain your Target Pulse
