Heart Rate Monitor

How the Heart Rate Monitor Works

The Heart Rate Monitor is a combination of a Heart Rate Sensor and a
sport watch. The Heart Rate Sensor attaches to your chest and measures
the electrical signals generated by the heart as it is beating. Using this
information, it then calculates your heart rate and transmits it to your
watch. You simply glance at the watch during exercise/training to make
sure you are in the appropriate heart rate range to maintain or improve
your fitness level.

How to Use the Heart Rate Monitor

1. Move away from sources of electrical or radio interference.

2. Wet the Heart Rate Sensor pads.THIS IS ESSENTIAL for proper operation
of the Heart Rate Monitor.

3. Put on the chest strap.Fasten the strap snugly around your chest, just
below the breasts. Be sure the transmitter is centered on the chest and
is right side up so the logo can be read by someone facing you.

4. Start the Heart Rate Monitor: Refer to the user manual for your watch
for detailed instructions on viewing heart rate
data.

Warning

This is not a medical device and is not recom­mended for use by persons with serious
heart conditions. You should always consult
your physician before beginning or modifying
an exercise program.

Interference with the radio signal, poor contact
between your skin and the chest strap, and other
factors may prevent accurate transmission of
heart rate data.

Maintenance

Rinse Heart Rate Sensor and strap in fresh water to avoid build up of materials
that can interfere with the measurement of your heart rate.

Transmitter Battery Life and Replacement

Battery life of the transmitter should exceed two years, based upon using
it an hour a day.Greater usage will shorten the battery life. Replace trans­mitter battery when any of the following occur:

• The watch no longer receives heart rate information from the chest

transmitter when properly worn on the chest.

• Error messages (COMM ERR, SIGNAL LOST) appear with increased fre-

quency on the display.

Battery Replacement

NOTE: You’ll need to have a device (such as a watch) capableof dis­playing heart rate information to verify that the new battery has
been inserted correctly.Use a coin to open the battery compartment
cover (back of sensor).

• Insert new battery (CR2032 or equivalent) with “+” facing you.

• Push the reset button next to the battery.Use a toothpick or straight-

ened paper clip. (Digital Heart Rate Sensor only)

• Reinstall battery cover and perform quick test of the unit: (See “How to

Use the Heart Rate Monitor” above).

• Within a few seconds,the heart symbol on the watch display should

begin flashing, indicating that the sensor is active.This confirms that the
battery was installed correctly.
NOTE: A heart rate value does not need to appear on the display during
this test.

IF FLASHING HEART DOES NOT APPEAR ON WATCH:

• Press the reset switch in the battery compartment again (Digital Heart

Rate Sensor only) and replace the battery cover,or

• Reinstall the battery,and repeat test procedure above.

Water Resistance

The Heart Rate Sensor withstands water pressure to 60 p.s.i.See chart
