We recommend that you wear the Transmitter
against your bare skin. This ensures a flawless
operation of the Transmitter. However, if you wish
to wear the Transmitter over a shirt, moisten the
shirt well under the electrodes.
6. Put on the Receiver as you would put on an
ordinary watch.
It is important that the electrodes are wet during
the exercise. However, after the exercise, wash
and toweldry the Transmitter carefully to save
battery life.
