1.4 MEASURING YOUR HEART RATE

To measure your heart rate, you need to wear the transmitter.
Heart rate coding reduces interference from other heart rate monitors that are close by. To make sure that the code search
is successful and ensure trouble-free heart rate monitoring, keep the wrist unit within 3 feet/1 meter of your transmitter.
Check that you are not near other people with heart rate monitors or any source of electromagnetic disturbances (for further
information on interference, see the chapter Precautions).
1. Moisten the electrode areas of the strap under running water and make sure that they are
well moistened.
2. Attach the connector to the strap. Position the letter L on the connector next to the word LEFT
on the strap and snap the fastener.
