Care and Maintenance
Transmitter
• Detach the transmitter from the strap after use and dry the transmitter with a soft, clean cloth. Never use alcohol, cleaning chem-
icals, or an abrasive material to clean the transmitter.
• Keep the transmitter in a cool, dry place. Do not store it wet inside a bag made of non-breathing material, such as a sports bag.
Do not expose the transmitter to direct sunlight for extended periods.
Transmitter Strap
• Detach the transmitter from the connector snaps on the strap and rinse the strap under running water after every use.
• Wash the strap regularly in a washing machine at 40°C (104°F) at least after every fifth use. Use a washing pouch. Do not use
detergent with bleach or fabric softener. Do not soak, spin-dry, iron, dry clean, or bleach the strap. [NOTE: Never put the trans-
mitter in the washing machine or drier.]
• Dry and store the strap and the transmitter separately. Wash the strap before long-term storage.
Tips for Using the Exercise Heart Rate Sensor
• Keep the sensor within one meter (about 3 feet) of the transmitter.
• Keep the sensor in a vertical orientation relative to the transmitter strap. Avoid placing the
sensor in a horizontal or tilted orientation.
• Place the sensor on a non-conductive (non-metal) surface and away from electrical inter-
ference (e.g., computers and electrical devices).
• Do not place the sensor or the transmitter strap on metal objects or the ground.
Signal Loss and Electrical Interference
• Erratic measurements or large reading fluctuations (e.g., drop to 0 beats per minute (bpm) or sudden increase to 240 bpm) usu-
ally indicate signal loss.
• The most common causes of signal loss are strap movement, inadequate electrode contact, improper sensor orientation, or too
large a distance between the transmitter and the sensor.
• If signal loss occurs, re-wet the electrodes, check the electrode contact, and move the sensor closer to the transmitter.
• Avoid computer monitors, magnets, power cords, television sets, or other appliances that emit electromagnetic radiation.
REMINDER: The red LED on the sensor flashes when there is adequate signal reception.
