using a suitable tool.
• Then remove the metal lid from the underside. Unscrew the screws.
• Insert a type CR2032 coin cell battery with the correct polarity. The positive terminal
("+") must point outwards towards you.
• Put the battery compartment lid back on and screw it tight.
• Re-attach the two parts of the wristband using the retaining pins.
• The battery must be replaced if the contrast of the LC display becomes very weak or
if the display remains blank.

9. Attaching the chest strap
Push the holding clips of the rubber strap into the
openings of the chest strap. The length of the rubber
strap is adjustable.
Moisten the contact surface of the chest strap using
some water or contact gel (see the two arrows and the
drop symbols in the illustration below).
Put on the chest strap as illustrated below. Make sure
the chest strap is put on correctly (the letters must be
properly readable).
14
The chest strap and the adjustable rubber strap must be put on as displayed. Adjust the
length so that the strap is tight but does not negatively affect your breathing or blood
circulation.
The two long contact surfaces of the chest strap (the two rubber surfaces with striped
pattern) must touch the skin directly. No material must be between the contact surfaces
and your skin.
As is the case with any material that comes into direct contact with your skin, there might
be skin irritations or allergic responses (e.g. redness, rash, etc.).
If you experience such changes on your skin, take off the chest strap immediately.
Wash the affected skin area with lukewarm water and mild soap and consult a doctor.
Regularly clean the contacts of the chest strap. Use a cloth moistened with lukewarm
water. Carefully dry the chest strap.
The transmission of the heart rate signal can be disturbed by mobile
telephones, electronic exercise equipment, wireless bicycle computers,
high-voltage power lines or other wireless devices.
