Next, wrap the heart rate
monitor around your chest
in the location shown; the
heart rate monitor must be
under your clothes, tight
against your skin. Make
sure that the logo is right-
side-up. Then, attach the
other end of the chest strap. Adjust the length of the
chest strap, if necessary.
Next, pull the transmitter
and the chest strap away
from your body a few
inches and locate the two
electrode areas (G).
Using saliva or contact
lens solution, wet the
electrode areas. Then, return the transmitter and the
chest strap to a position against your chest.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Dry the heart rate monitor after each use. The heart
rate monitor is activated when you wet the electrode
areas and put on the heart rate monitor; the heart
rate monitor shuts off when it is removed and the
electrode areas are dried. If the heart rate monitor is

temperatures above 122° F (50° C) or below 14° F
(-10° C).

TROUBLESHOOTING
If the heart rate monitor does not function properly,
try the suggestions below.
• Make sure that you are wearing the heart rate
monitor as described at the left. Note: If the heart rate
monitor does not function when positioned as
described, move it slightly lower or higher on your
chest.
• Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
-
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the sensor
unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until you
begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
• Position yourself near the console. For the console
to display heart rate readings.
• 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.
• The operation of the heart rate monitor can be
affected by magnetic interference caused by high
power lines or other sources. If it is suspected that this
is a problem, try relocating the bike.
