MAINTENANCE
• Wipe off perspiration with a damp towel and dry the
transmitter after each use.
• Never store the transmitter wet; moisture on the
transmitter electrodes activates the transmitter and will
drain battery power during storage.
• Store in a breathable, dry place away from sweaty
clothes, wet towel, etc..
• Never twist or bend the electrodes.
• Do not use in extreme hot or cold temperatures.
• Avoid placing the monitor in direct sunlight for long
periods of time.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The batteries in your heart rate monitor can be expected to
last over one year under normal use. Note that excessive
use of the backlight and the alarm signals will use the
battery life more rapidly. Your monitor uses 2 lithium
CR2032 batteries, one for the transmitter, and one for the
receiver.
Should your display become faint, or the monitor only pick
up the transmitter signal at a very short distance, it is time to
replace the batteries. Always replace both batteries at the
same time.
Because both the transmitter and the monitor are water resis-
25
tant, it is recommended - but not required - that you have the
batteries
replaced
professional jeweler. If the O-ring is not correctly positioned
when the monitor or transmitter covers are resealed, then
water will damage the components. Monitor failure due to
incorrectly replacement of the batteries is not covered under
the warranty terms.

PRECAUTIONS

• Interference - Your heart rate monitor receives a signal
from the transmitter. As with most electronic receiving
devices, there can sometimes be interference that causes
inaccurate display readouts. Avoid using your heart rate
monitor too near common sources of interference. These
included high voltage power lines, air conditioning motor
a
units, fluorescent light, wristwatches, computer and cellular
phones.
• Water Resistance - VISION FITNESS heart rate monitors
are water resistance up to 20 meters. To maintain the water
resistance, do not operate the buttons of the wrist monitor
while under water.
Do not send cash.
