Specifications

Overexertion can cause serious injury, including heart attacks. Some individuals cannot safely elevate their heart rate to the levels of typically used heart rate training zones. No one should begin an exercise program without first obtaining medical clearance, especially if there is a personal or family history of heart disease, high blood pressure, if you are over age 40, have diabetes, high cholesterol, smoke cigarettes, are overweight or are taking certain medications. Stop exercising and seek medical attention if you notice signs of overexertion or heart problems, such as pain or pressure in the left or mid-chest area or left part of the neck, shoulder or arm, light-headedness, cold sweat, unusual paleness or fainting. Also note that the signals used by this monitor may interfere with a pacemaker or other implanted devices. Consult the manufacturer of the implant device and/or your physician prior to using this monitor.

General Precautions

Should your heart rate monitor need battery replacement we recommend that you take it to a local jewelry store in order to guarantee that it will maintain its water resistance. Improper battery replacement or service will void the warranty. Repair should only be performed by Omron Healthcare, Inc., 300 Lakeview Parkway, Vernon Hills, IL 60061.
(Customer Service Toll Free 1-800-634-4350).
Although your heart rate monitor is water resistant, be sure not to operate the device under water as pressure can cause it to leak.
The transmitter will automatically shut itself off once you have disconnected it from your chest. Dry it off after every use.
Be sure not to excessively twist or bend the electrode portions of the transmitter belt as it may cause mechanical damage to the internal circuit.
