WEARING THE CHEST BELT
Chest belt
The chest belt counts your heartbeat and transmits this data
to the watch.
. Wet
the
conductive
pads on the underside
of the chest belt with
a few drops of water
or conductive gel to
ensure solid contact.
2. Strap the heart rate
chest belt across your
chest. To ensure an
accurate
heart
rate
signal, adjust the strap
until the belt sits snugly below your pectoral muscles.
TIPS
•
The position of the chest belt affects its performance.
Move the chest belt along the strap so that it falls above
your heart.
•
Avoid areas with dense chest hair.
•
In dry, cold climates, it may take several minutes for the
chest belt to function steadily. This is normal and should
improve with several minutes of exercise.
NOTE
To maintain the best performance of your chest belt,
please handle it with care according to the following:
•
Do not wrap the chest belt in a wet towel nor with other
wet materials.
•
Do not store the chest belt in a hot (about 50°C) and
humid (about 90%) environment.
•
Do not place or wash the chest belt under running water,
instead clean it with a wet cloth.
•
Do not place the conductive rubber face down on a
metal table or surface.
•
Properly dry the chest belt immediately after use.
NOTE
If the watch is kept idle without receiving a heart
rate signal for 5 minutes, the heart rate mode will quit and
return to clock mode.
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. This heart rate monitor uses analog
coded cordless transmission.
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 0 cm (4 inches) from the
watch.
Your watch will advise you which system it is using and the
signal status by displaying the following icons:
