TELEMETRIC HEART RATE CHEST STRAP (AVAILABLE WITH PREMIER CONSOLE ONLY)
The wireless Telemetric Chest Strap uses a pair of electrodes on the
underside of the strap to send your heart rate signal to the console. Prior
to wearing the chest strap, moisten the two rubber electrode pads with
several drops of water. These electrodes must remain wet to provide an
accurate signal. We advise using the chest strap against your skin, but it
also functions through a thin layer of wet clothing.
STRAP PLACEMENT
Center the transmitter strap just below the breast or pectoral muscles,
directly over your sternum with the logo facing out. Adjust the elastic strap
so it is snug but comfortable enough for proper breathing.

TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR HEART RATE MONITOR CHEST STRAP
PROBLEM: No pulse reading appears.
SOLUTION: There may be a poor connection between the contact pads
and skin; remoisten the electrode pads.
SOLUTION: Transmitter is not properly positioned; reposition the chest strap.
SOLUTION: Verify that the distance between the transmitter and receiver
is not beyond the recommended range of 36 inches.
PROBLEM: There is an erratic pulse rate.
SOLUTION: Chest strap is too loose; readjust according to directions.
NOTE:
It is possible that heart rate monitors will not function properly
on some people for a variety of reasons. It may be necessary to
experiment with the fit and position of the chest strap. Outside interference
sources such as computers, motors, electric dog fences, home security
systems, remote controls, CD players, fluorescent lights, etc., may cause
problems for heart rate monitors.
