SECTION 5 THE HEART RATE
MONITOR
This section applies to OUTBREAKER PLUS & OUTBREAKER
PRO only.

THE CHEST BELT

The chest belt counts and transmits heart beat data to the watch
receiver. To put it on (diagram C),
a) Wet the conductive pads on the underside of the transmitter with
water, sweat or a conductive gel to ensure a solid contact.
b) Strap the belt across the chest. Adjust the strap until the transmitter
sits snugly below the pectoral muscles for an accurate heart rate
signal.
Hints:
• The position of the transmitter affects its performance. Move the
transmitter along the strap for the best transmission. Avoid areas
with dense chest hair.
• The transmitter takes a while to function steadily in dry and cold
climates. This is normal as the conductive pads need a film of
sweat to improve contact with the skin.

EFFECTIVE RANGE

The transmitter and receiver will start transmitting and receiving
signals once batteries are in place. Both units should be worn or
mounted within an effective distance of 62.5 centimeters (25 inches).
If the signals are unsteady,
• Shorten the distance between the transmitter and receiver.
• Re-adjust the position of the transmitter.
• Check the batteries. Replace them when necessary.

DISPLAY MODES

There are two display modes in HEART RATE:
• Heart rate and chronometer
• Heart rate and clock
Refer to fig 13 to change among the display modes.
