HE OLAR
Wet the electrodes (A) to the transmitter (the two grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap) and secure the
strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug, but comfortable enough to allow for
normal breathing.
The transmitter strap will deliver an optimum heart rate reading when the electrodes are directly in contact with bare
skin. However, it will function properly through wet, lightweight clothing.
The key to proper operation is for the electrodes to remain wet to conduct the electrical impulses of the heart back
to the receiver.
If it becomes necessary to remoisten the chest strap transmitter, grasp the center of the strap, pull it away from the
chest to expose the two electrodes, then moisten them in this position.

seconds, depending on the individual.
