HOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITOR
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The heart rate monitor consists of a chest strap
and a sensor. Attach the sensor to the chest strap
by pressing the posts on the sensor into the snap
fasteners on the chest strap.
The heart
rate monitor
must be worn
under your
clothes, tight
against your
skin. To put on
the heart rate
monitor, wrap
the chest strap
around your
chest, and
slide the loop
on one end of
the chest strap onto the clip on the other end of the
chest strap. Make sure that the logo on the sensor
is right-side-up. Then, adjust the length of the chest
strap, if necessary, and position the chest strap as
shown.
Next, pull the
chest strap
away from
your body a
few inches
and locate the
two electrode
areas. Using a
saline solution,
such as saliva
or contact lens solution, wet the electrode areas.
Then, return the chest strap to a position against
your chest.

Strap
• Thoroughly dry the electrode areas on the chest
strap with a soft towel after each use. Moisture
may keep the heart rate monitor activated, shortening the life of the battery.
• 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 it to temperatures above 122° F (50° C) or
below 14° F (-10° C).
• To clean the sensor, use a damp cloth and a small
amount of mild soap. Then, wipe the sensor with
a damp cloth and thoroughly dry it with a soft
towel. Never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemi-
cals to clean the sensor. Hand wash and air dry
the chest strap.
