Make sure the heart rate monitor is snug against your body.
Warm up for 5–10 minutes. If the problem persists, continue
with the following suggestions.
Reapply moisture to the sensors. Use water, saliva, or
electrode gel. Clean the sensors. Dirt and sweat residue on
the sensor can interfere with heart rate signals.

monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart
rate signals. Wear a cotton shirt or wet your shirt if suitable
for your activity.
Position the heart rate monitor on your back instead of your
chest.

electric motors, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless

away from the source of interference, your heart rate data
should return to normal.
