WARNINGS & CAUTIONS

Overexertion can cause serious injury, including heart attacks. Some
individuals cannot safely elevate their heart rate to the levels of typi­cally used heart rate training zones. No one should begin an exercise
program without first obtaining medical clearance,
especially if there is a personal or family history of heart disease, high
blood pressure, or if you are over age 40, have diabetes, high cho­lesterol, smoke cigarettes, are overweight or are taking certain med­ications. Stop exercising and seek medical attention if you notice
signs of overexertion or heart problems, such as pain or
pressure in the left or mid-chest area or left neck, shoulder or arm,
light-headedness, cold sweat, unusual paleness or fainting. Also note
that the signals used by this monitor may interfere with a
pacemaker or other implanted devices. Consult the manufacturer of
the implant device and/or your physician prior to using this monitor.
