6. Getting started

6.1 Putting on the heart rate monitor

You can wear your heart rate monitor like a wrist watch.

6.2 Activating the heart rate monitor from the power saving mode

You can activate your heart rate monitor by pressing any key. If the heart rate monitor has
not received any signal for approx. five minutes, it switches to the power saving mode.
At that point, only the current time will be displayed. Press any key in order to reactivate
the watch.

6.3 Putting on the chest strap

• Tighten the chest strap with the elastic tension belt. Adjust the
length of the belt such that the belt is snug, but neither too loose
nor too tight. Position the belt around the chest such that the logo is
facing outwards and in the correct position directly over the breast
bone. For men, the chest belt should be located directly below the
pectoral muscles, for women, directly below the breast.
• Since optimal contact between the skin and the heart rate sensors can not be created
immediately, it may take some time until the heart rate is measured and displayed. If
necessary, alter the position of the transmitter in order to achieve optimal contact. Most
of the time, sufficient contact is achieved through the accumulation of sweat beneath
the chest strap. You can, however, also wet the contact points on the inside of the chest
strap. For this, lift the chest strap up from the skin slightly and wet the two sensors with
saliva, water or ECG gel (available at the chemistry). The contact between the skin and
chest strap may not be interrupted also with greater movements of the thorax such as
during deep breathing. Significant chest chair can interfere with and even prevent contact.
• Put on the chest strap a few minutes before starting in order to warm it up to body tem-
perature and establish optimal contact.
