Axiom Memory Solutions HR600 Heart Rate Monitor User Manual


 
7. Using a wireless hear rate monitor near computers,
motorized gym equipment, electric motors, high voltage
power lines, automobiles, televisions or fluorescent lights
may cause erratic readings.
8. Your Axiom heart rate monitor is water resistant, and
can be used while swimming. However, do not press any of
the buttons while the receiver (watch) is submersed.
Positioning the Chest Band/Transmitter
1. Adjust the strap length to achieve a snug, comfortable
fit.
2. The transmitter should face outward as shown in Fig.2,
with the band fitting comfortably on the bare chest just
below the breast.
3. Center the transmitter on the chest (with the Axiom
logo right-side up).
4. Moisten the rubber electrodes on the inside of the trans-
mitter strap with water, saliva or Axiom Heartbeat Signal
Enhancer.
5. Attach the receiver to your wrist, or mount it to your
bicycle (see instructions below for mounting the receiver to
your bike).
6. When placed on the body, the transmitter is automati-
cally activated (and deactivated when removed). To con-
serve transmitter battery power, the transmitter should be
removed when not in use.
If you have difficulty obtaining a regular heart rate read-
ing, try readjusting the chest strap. The rubber electrodes
must be flat against the skin, and the band must be in the
correct position-not too low. Make sure there is sufficient
moisture between the electrodes and your skin. Check that
the band is clean, with no accumulated sweat or dirt.
Mounting the Receiver to Your Bike
Your HR600 comes with a Handlebar Adapter for your bike.
Slide the split foam ring over your handlebar i a convenient
location and wrap the Velcro® Strap snugly around the
foam ring. Your HR600 receiver may now be installed over
the foam ring as it would be attached to your wrist.
