well moistened.

To ensure trouble-free heart rate monitoring, start your heart rate monitoring in a place with the
fewest possible electromagnetic disturbances (skilifts, computers, mobile phones, other people
using heart rate monitors, high voltage power lines, cars, motor driven exercise equipment, etc.)
before going out.
When you put your transmitter on, it starts to detect your heart rate, which is then transmitted
to the wrist unit. A heart symbol starts flashing in the Action (or Alti) main mode and your heart
rate in beats per minute (bpm) appears in a maximum of 15 seconds.
Note: If the wrist unit does not display your heart rate, check that the transmitter electrodes are wet and that the
strap is snug enough.
