HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
Before you use the heart rate monitor, please read all
instructions on this page and the following page.
The heart rate
monitor consists of
two components:
the chest strap and
the sensor unit.
Refer to the draw-
ing below to attach
the chest strap to
the sensor unit.
Insert the tab on
one end of the
chest strap through
one end of the sen-
sor unit. Press the
end of the sensor
unit under the
buckle on the chest
strap. The tab
should be almost
flush with the front
of the sensor unit.
Next, wrap the
heart rate monitor
around your chest
and attach the other
end of the chest
strap to the sensor
unit. Adjust the
length of the chest
strap, if necessary.
The heart rate mon-
itor should be under
your clothing, tight
against your skin,
and as high under
the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable.
Make sure that the logo on the sensor unit is facing
forward and is right-side-up.
Pull the sensor unit away from your body a few inches
and locate the two electrode areas on the inner side.
The electrode areas are the areas covered by shallow
ridges. Using saline solution such as saliva or contact
lens solution, wet both electrode areas. Return the
sensor unit to a position against your chest.
HEART RATE MONITOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
¥ Thoroughly dry the heart rate monitor after each
use. The heart rate monitor is activated when the
electrode areas are wetted and the heart rate
monitor is put on; the heart rate monitor shuts off
when it is removed and the electrode areas are
dried. If the heart rate monitor is not dried after each
use, it may remain activated longer than necessary,
draining the battery prematurely.
¥ Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place. Do
not store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag or
other container that may trap moisture.
¥ Do not expose the heart rate monitor to direct
sunlight for extended periods of time
¥ Do not expose the heart rate monitor to tempera-
tures above 122¡ Fahrenheit (50¡ Celsius) or below
14¡ Fahrenheit (-10¡ Celsius).
¥ Do not excessively bend or stretch the sensor unit
when using or storing the heart rate monitor.
¥ Clean the sensor unit periodically using a damp
cloth; never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.
The chest strap may be hand washed and air dried.
HEART RATE MONITOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING
The instructions on the following pages explain
how the heart rate monitor is used with the console.
If the letters ÒPLSÓ appear in the PULSE display or if
the displayed heart rate is excessively high or low,
try the steps below.
¥ Make sure that the heart rate monitor is under your
clothing, tight against your skin, and as high under
the pectoral muscles or breasts as is comfortable. In
addition, make sure that the logo on the sensor unit
is facing forward and is right-side-up. Note: If the
heart rate monitor does not function when positioned
as described, try moving it slightly lower or higher on
your chest.
¥ Use saline solution such as saliva or contact lens
solution to wet the two electrode areas on the
sensor unit. If heart rate readings do not appear until
you begin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.
