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).

ATTACHING YOUR HEART MONITOR
1. Attach the adjustable strap to one side of the transmitter. Push
the round tab of the belt clip through the back side of the attaching
hole on the transmitter and twist it into place (Fig. 1). The unique
angled clip is designed to prevent the belt from slipping down your
chest. It can be attached in either the up or down position (keeping
both the same). Depending on the contour of your torso, one
direction may be more comfortable than the other.
