11THE CHEST HEART RATE MONITORHOW TO PUT ON THE HEART RATE MONITORIf the heart rate monitor looks like the one shownin drawing 1, press the transmitter (A) onto the snapfasteners on the chest strap (B). If the heart ratemonitor looks like the one shown in drawing 2,insert the tab (C) on one end of the chest strap (D) intoone end of the transmitter (E). Then, press the end ofthe transmitter under the buckle (F) on the chest strap;the tab should be flush with the transmitter.Next, wrap the heartrate monitor aroundyour chest in the loca-tion shown; the heartrate monitor must beunder your clothes,tight against your skin.Make sure that the logois right-side-up. Then, attach the other end of the cheststrap. Adjust the length of the chest strap, if necessary.Next, pull the trans-mitter and the cheststrap away from yourbody a few inchesand locate the twoelectrode areas (G).Using saliva or con-tact lens solution, wet the electrode areas. Then, returnthe transmitter and the chest strap to a position againstyour chest.CARE AND MAINTENANCE• Thoroughly dry the electrode areas with a soft towelafter each use. Moisture may keep the heart ratemonitor activated, shortening the life of the battery.• Store the heart rate monitor in a warm, dry place. Donot store the heart rate monitor in a plastic bag orother container that may trap moisture.• Do not expose the heart rate monitor to directsunlight for extended periods of time, and do notexpose it to temperatures above 122° F (50° C) orbelow 14° F (-10° C).• Do not excessively bend or stretch the heart ratemonitor when using or storing it.• To clean the transmitter, use a damp cloth and asmall amount of mild soap. Then, wipe the transmit-ter with a damp cloth and thoroughly dry it with a softtowel. Never use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicalsto clean the transmitter. Hand wash and air dry thechest strap.TROUBLESHOOTING• If the heart rate monitor does not function whenpositioned as described at the left, move it slightlylower or higher on your chest.• If heart rate readings are not displayed until youbegin perspiring, re-wet the electrode areas.• For the console to display heart rate readings, youmust be within arm’s length of the console.• If there is a battery cover on the back of the trans-mitter, replace the battery with a new battery of thesame type.• The heart rate monitor is designed to work withpeople who have normal heart rhythms. Heart ratereading problems may be caused by medical condi-tions such as premature ventricular contractions(pvcs), tachycardia bursts, and arrhythmia.• The operation of the heart rate monitor can beaffected by magnetic interference from high powerlines or other sources. If you suspect that magneticinterference is causing a problem, try relocating thefitness equipment.1 2ABE FC DG
