Troubleshoot the Heart Rate Monitor
If the heart rate monitor does not function properly, try the steps below .
• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate monitor as described in PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR on page 17 .
If the heart rate monitor does not function when positioned as described, move it slightly lower or higher on your chest .
• If heart rate readings are not displayed until you begin perspiring, rewet the electrode areas .
• The heart rate monitor is designed to work with people who have normal heart rhythms . Heart rate reading problems may
be caused by medical conditions such as premature ventricular contractions (pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia .
• If the heart rate monitor still does not function properly, remove the sensor from the chest strap
and locate the battery cover on the back of the sensor . Insert the edge of a coin into the slot
in the battery cover, turn the battery cover counterclockwise, and remove the battery cover .
Next, remove the old battery and insert a new CR 2032 battery; make sure that the battery is
oriented so that the text is facing away from the sensor. Then, reattach the battery cover and
turn it clockwise .
• The heart rate monitor can also transmit to compatible BLUETOOTH Smart fitness equipment
such as treadmills and ellipticals . To use the heart rate monitor with other fitness equipment,
make sure that a BLUETOOTH Smart receiver is included in the fitness equipment .
• For the console on other fitness equipment to display heart rate readings, you must be within arm's length of the console .
• The operation of the heart rate monitor can be affected by magnetic interference from high power lines or other sources . If
you suspect that magnetic interference is causing a problem, try relocating the fitness equipment .
