•

Wear the chest belt heart rate sensor at the center of your chest and in contact with

your skin.

•

To increase measurement effectiveness, dampen the electrode area with water or

electrocardiograph electrolyte cream.

•

People with sensitive skin can wear the chest belt over a thin shirt with the electrode

area damped with water.

•

Hair on the chest may interfere with accurate measurements.

1. Adjust the length of the belt to fit your chest.

(Fig.9)

2. Hook the attachment belt to the electrode belt.

Place the electrode area at the center of your

chest.  Be sure that the electrode area is held

firmly against your skin. (Fig.10)

When wearing the chest belt heart rate sensor

over a shirt it is necessary to moisten the

electrode area for the better results.  In the

winter season when skin can be dried, errors

may occur even when the electrodes are in

direct contact with your skin. This can be

improved by moistening the electrodes. (Fig.11)

3. Adjust the belt so that the transmitter is at the

center (just above your diaphragm) of your

chest. (Fig.12)

Wear the chest belt heart rate sensor in the

legible way (the top mark on the transmitter

should come to the top).

Be sure to remove the earlobe pulse sensor plug out of the jack of control unit, other-

wise the unit does not receive the pulse data.

When the battery has worn out, replace it with a new one in the following way.

Battery life: approx. 2 years (if worn for 1 hour a day)

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the

transmitter with a coin.

2. Replace the old battery with a new lithium

battery (CR2032) with the (+) pole upward as

illustrated.

3. Close the battery cover securely.

The electrodes on the chest belt naturally wear out after extended use.  When there are

cracks on the surface or measurement error occurs, replace the electrode belt with new

one according to the following instruction:

1. Loosen the screws at the back of the transmitter.

(Fig.14)

2. Remove the spacers.  Remove the transmitter from

the electrode belt. (Fig.15)

3. Fix the transmitter to a new electrode belt.  Clean the

two contacts before assembling. (Fig.16)

4. Put the spacers back and fasten the screws se-

curely.

NOTE: When replacing the electrode belt, also check the transmitter's battery life.

• Avoid dropping or severely jarring the chest strap.

• Avoid using this unit in dense electromagnetic field, such as near TV or radio set, etc.

• Try to avoid using the main unit within a 1.5m radius of other transmitters.  Do not use

other wireless devices simultaneously.  It may result in improper measurements.

• Do not use the chest belt if it causes a rash or other skin irritations.

• When the chest belt becomes soiled with sweat, clean it with mild soap and water.

• Do not bend, twist or pull forcibly the electrode area of the chest belt.

• The electrodes may deteriorate and present function error after a long term use.

Replace with a new belt when you notice a sign of deterioration.

The following cases may not represent malfunctions.

Please re-check as suggested below before asking for repair.

intermittenly.

Is the earlobe sensor connected

to control unit?

Is chestbelt placed in correct

position?

Is the belt too loose?

Is the room air too dry? (espe-

cially in winter)

Is the chestbelt deteriorated?

Is the battery worn out?

Is the chestbelt placed in cor-

rect position?

Does the display turn 0 when

you move away from control

unit, but appear again when you

get closer to the control unit?

Control unit does not accept data

from the chestbelt sensor if earlobe

sensor is connected. Take out ear-

lobe sensor plug from control unit.

Reposition the belt as instructed.

Give the belt an adequate tension.

Wet electrode area a little bit.

Replace the chestbelt with a new

one.

Replace the battery with a new one.

Reposition the belt as instructed.

Battery may be running out. Re-

place it with a new one.

If the above remedy doesn't help, also check if the circuit boards are positively connected.
