GETTING STARTED
1. In dry and cold climates it may take a few minutes of use for the electrodes to soften and a layer
of perspiration to form between the contact and the skin for good performance. Moistening the
electrodes with saliva or conductive gel can speed up this process.
2.
To ensure the most accurate operation we recommend wearing the chest transmitter against your
bare skin.
Users with a lot of chest hair may have a problem getting contact between the trans-
mitter electrode areas and their skin, resulting in poor performance. Because of this it may be
necessary for these individuals to shave the area of their chest beneath the transmitter.
3.
Do not use water, moisturizing creams or suntan oil, as these are insulators and will
interfere with the heart rate signal.
4. Wear the wrist receiver as you would any
wrist watch. Keep the wrist receiver and the
transmitter within 3 feet/1 meter of each
other.
3. Adjust the strap so the transmitter fits tightly
below the pectoral muscles with the
LifeSource logo centered on the sternum as
shown in the picture.
2. Moisten the electrode areas —located to
the right and left on the back side of the
transmitter —with saliva or conductive gel.
