Your training partner may have coincidentally activated
exactly the same code as you. In this case keep distance
to your training partner or proceed as follows:
1. Stop the stopwatch and heart rate measurement.
2. Take the transmitter off your chest for 10 seconds.
3. Put the transmitter back and start the heart rate
measurement again.

You may have come within range of strong electromagnetic
signals which cause erratic readings on the wrist receiver
display. Check your surroundings and move further away
