Transmission Signal - Oregon Scientific SE212 User Manual

TRANSMISSION SIGNAL

The heart rate chest belt and watch have a maximum transmission
range of about 62.5 centimetres (25 inches). They are equipped
with the latest digital coding system to reduce signal interference
from the environment, as well as analog technology. For more
accurate readings use the digital transmission signal. You should
only switch to the analog transmission signal if the situation in point
2 occurs (see below). Your watch will advise you which system it is
using and the signal status by displaying the following icons:
NOTE Whenever the watch is searching for the chest belt signal
(manual or automatic search), make sure that the chest belt is no
further than 10 cm (4 inches) from the watch.
ICON
Outside heart is flashing Searching for a signal
Inside heart is flashing
Heart is flashing
To switch from digital to analog or analog to digital system,
NOTE
press the chest belt button for more than 4 seconds and then
force a signal search.
IMPORTANT
If the heart icon does not appear on the display or
is not flashing because no signal has been found, force a signal
search. See "Signal Search" section for how to do this.
In the event that you experience a weak signal or your signal is
disrupted by interference in the environment, follow the instructions
below to identify and resolve the situation.
1. The signal is weak - the watch heart rate monitor will only show "0":
• Shorten the distance between the heart rate chest belt and watch.
• Re-adjust the position of the heart rate chest belt.
• Check the conductive pads are moist enough to ensure solid contact.
• Check the batteries. If they are low or exhausted, the range
may be less.
• Force a signal search (see "Signal Search" section).
