To fit the heart rate monitor, proceed as follows:
(1)
Attach one end of the elasticated strap to one end of the sensor strip
as shown.Turn the end of the elasticated strap 90° and insert lug
through the rear of the hole in the end of the monitor strip.
(2)
Then turn back through 90° and press on the circular lug so that it is
flush with the front of the sensor strip.
(3)
Hold the sensor strip against your chest while feeding the elasticated
strap around your back.
Attach the other end of the elasticated strap to the sensor strip. If
necessary, the length of the elasticated strap can be adjusted using the
adjustment buckle.
The sensor strip must be placed against your skin
(manufacturer's insignia facing outwards), otherwise it may
not detect a heartbeat. A flashing
corner of the programme control screen will confirm that the
sensor is picking up a heartbeat. The chest strap must not
be rotated (ie. the writing should appear the right way up),
except in certain individuals who have a 'reversed' ECG
(this condition is extremely rare).
If the monitor fails to detect a heartbeat, moisten the electrodes on
the back of the monitor strip (two ridged rectangular blocks) with a
wet finger and try again.
