Heart Rate Strap
Overview
Your Wahoo Fitness Heart Rate Strap is a device worn in proximity to the heart that
captures electrical activity data to derive your pulse.
How to Use
z
Thoroughly wet both of the plastic Conductive Pads on the Strap with water or
electrode gel. It is important that the Conductive Pads are sufficiently moist so
that a good skin-to-Conductive Pad connection is made.
z
Snap one end of the Strap to one side of the Pod. Either end of the Strap can
connect to either end of the Pod, but the Pod should have the Wahoo Fitness
logo facing up when in use.
z
Wrap the Strap around your back and snap the free end to the free side of
the Pod so that the Pod is located on your breastplate, just below your
breasts. Adjust the Strap to create a snug, yet comfortable fit.
z
Once in place, move within 5’ - 10’ of any device that is compatible with
Bluetooth Smart wireless sensors.
Troubleshooting
If you do not get a reading, or the readings are erroneous, ensure that the
Conductive Pads are wet, have good contact with your skin and the that your
Strap is sufficiently snug. Your Heart Rate Sensor ‘sleeps’ with inactivity and
‘awakens’ with good electrical contact. To test your Sensor, the following
procedure is helpful: 1/start your reader so that it is looking for a heart rate sensor,
2/in your hands, connect the Strap to the Sensor Pod as you would if wearing it (ie.
connect both snaps), 3/rub your two thumbs on the two conductive pads on either
side of the Sensor Pod for 5-10 seconds. This should ‘awaken’ your sensor so that it is
broadcasting and the results should be displayed on your reader.
Pairing
Each Wahoo Fitness Sensor has a unique identification code and can be uniquely
paired with a reader so that if you start your activity in proximity to other sensors,
such as the start of a race, your program doesn‘t pick up someone else’s sensor.
Since each reader is unique, you should reference the instructions of your reader for
pairing techniques.
Battery
The battery in your Wahoo Fitness Heart Rate Sensor is located behind a cover on
the back of your Heart Rate Sensor Pod and can be replaced by placing a coin in
the slot and turning the cover 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Replace with a 3 volt
CR2032 battery (contact a local waste handling group for proper disposal of old
battery). After removing the old battery, wait 45 seconds before installing the new
battery to ensure the electronics fully reset.
