You can measure your heart rate with the heart belt.
When your pulse is detected, your heart rate will
be displayed on the console. If your rhythm is not
detected, see TROUBLESHOOTING.
Never use alcohol or abrasives to clean the sensors.
HOW TO WEAR THE HEART RATE MONITOR
The heart rate monitor has two components: the
chest strap and the heart rate monitor unit. Insert the
tab on one end of the chest strap into one end of the
heart rate monitor unit, as shown in the box diagram.
Push the end of the heart rate monitor unit under the
chest strap buckle. The tab should be aligned with
the front of the heart rate monitor unit.
Next, place the heart rate monitor around your chest,
and attach the other end of the chest strap into the
unit of the heart rate monitor. Adjust the length of
the chest strap if necessary. The heart rate monitor
should be under your clothing, tight against your skin,
and as high as possible under your pectoral muscles
or chest while being comfortable. Make sure the logo
is placed forward and at the right place. Lift the unit of
the heart rate monitor from your skin a few inches and
locate both surfaces of the electrodes on the reverse
side of the detector (the electrode surfaces are the
two hollow rectangles). Using saline solution such as
saliva or contact lens solution, wet both surfaces of
the electrodes. Put the detector back on your skin.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
• Dry the heart rate monitor completely after each
use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the
electrodes are wet and the heart rate monitor is worn;
the heart rate monitor turns off when it is not worn
and the electrodes are dry. If the heart rate monitor is
not dried after each use, it will remain on even if it is
not used, using the battery prematurely.
• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place.
Do not put the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag or
other container that holds moisture.
• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct
sunlight for long periods of time; do not expose it to
temperatures above 50 ° C (120 ° F) or below -10 °
C (15 ° F).
• Do not bend or stretch the unit of the heart rate
monitor excessively when using and storing it.
• Clean the heart rate monitor unit with a damp
cloth-never use alcohol or abrasive or chemical
cleaners. The chest strap can be washed by hand
and dried in the open air.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Make sure you are wearing the heart rate monitor as
described on the left. Note: If the heart rate monitor
is not working when in the described position, try
placing it higher or lower on your abdomen.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet both surfaces of the electrodes. If
your heart rate does not appear before you begin to
sweat, wet the electrode surfaces again.
• The heart rate monitor is designed for use by people
with normal heart rhythm. Problems with the display
of heart rhythm may be due to medical conditions
such as premature contractions of the ventricles,
tachycardia, and arrhythmia.
• The operation of the heart rate monitor may be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
voltage power lines and other sources. If you think
magnetic interference is a problem, try placing your
device in a different location.
