2. Adjust the tension of the strap to fit snugly but comfortably
around your chest. Wrap the belt around your chest as shown
(Fig.2).
3. Center and position the belt as shown, at heart level, just below
your pectoral muscles or breasts (but not too low) and attach the
other end of the strap to the transmitter. The "Vetta" logo should be
positioned at the center of your chest.

4. Moisten the transmitter electrodes. For best results, the belt
should be worn directly on your skin. A small amount of moisture is
needed to assist in conducting the electrical impulses generated
from your heart beats to the transmitter. Gently pull belt away from
skin and apply a small drop of water or saline solution to each of the
two electrodes (one on each side) (Fig. 3). If you prefer to wear
your belt over a light shirt, you will need to generously moisten the
areas of the shirt directly beneath the electrodes in order to insure
proper signal pick-up. You may wear as many layers of clothing as
desired over the transmitter belt without affecting the operating
range.
5. Put your wrist monitor on. The monitor doesnt have to be
attached to your wrist to register your heart rate, it just has to be
within 3 feet of your chest.
