Using A Chest Belt - Spirit CT 900 TFT User Manual

USING A CHEST BELT

How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:
1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.
2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too
tight to remain comfortable.
3. Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your
body facing away from your chest (some people must position the
transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end of the elastic
strap by inserting the round end and secure the transmitter and
strap around your chest.
4. Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.
5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure your heart beat's electrical signals. However, plain
water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 ribbed oval areas on the reverse side of
the belt and both sides of the transmitter). It's also recommended that you wear the
transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because of body
chemistry, have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning.
After "warming up", this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the
transmitter/strap doesn't affect performance.
6. Stay close enough to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings.
Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user's heart.
Additionally, it automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the
transmitter is water resistant, moisture can have the effect of creating false signals, so you
should take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after use to prolong battery life
(estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). The replacement battery type is CR2032.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE THE HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAM IF YOUR HEART RATE IS NOT
