BATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION TROUBLE SHOOTING
POTENTIAL CAUSES FOR NO HEART RATE READING OR LONG RESPONSE TIME:
CAUSE: DRY SKIN
SOLUTION: Apply conductive gel thoroughly to chest area (for Chest-Strap measurement) or finger (for
Finger-Touch measurement). Tap water may help if conductive gel is not available.
CAUSE: CHEST STRAP IS NOT CONTACTING WITH SKIN
SOLUTION: Make sure the chest strap is firmly over the chest and the Watch is securely on wrist.
CAUSE: MUSCLE TREMORS CAUSED BY PRESSING ON SENSORS TOO HARD (FINGER TOUCH)
SOLUTION: Decrease finger pressure on the Sensor Pads.
CAUSE: DEAD SKIN ON WRIST, FINGER OR CHEST.
SOLUTION:
Rub off excessive dead skin with a towel.
CAUSE: A THIN LAYER OF BODY GREASE INSULATES THE ECG SIGNAL PREVENTING THE CHEST STRAP OR
WATCH FROM DETECTING ECG HEART RATE
SOLUTION: Wipe chest/wrist and the back of Chest Strap/watch with a tissue or soft towel.
CAUSE: HAIRY SKIN
SOLUTION: Apply conductive gel to chest area or wrist.
CAUSE: LOW BATTERY
SOLUTION: Replace the battery in watch/transmitter and try again.
CAUSE: ELECTRICAL FIELD INTERFERENCE FROM RF DEVICES (CHEST-STRAP MEASUREMENT) SUCH AS
OVERHEAD POWER LINES, ETC.
SOLUTION: Leave the area where RF source potentially exists.

The purpose of the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol is to remind us that most electrical products, and
batteries, contain trace elements (including Mercury – Hg, Cadmium – Cd and Lead – Pb) which could
be harmful to our environment and therefore our health. We must all be careful to dispose of them
responsibly in a specifically designated way – either using a collection scheme or into the correctly
labelled civic amenity (NOT into general waste) – this will help your local authority to arrange to recycle
or dispose of them in the appropriate manner.
