Important Safety Information
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND TIPS FOR CHEST STRAP
1. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that all users of this unit have read the Owner's
Manual and are familiar with warnings and safety precautions.
2. Do not place chest strap near devices that generate large magnetic fields. TV sets, electric
motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can affect the transmitter’s performance. These
items can interfere with the heart rate signal and possibly affect the heart rate readings on the
console.
3. Handle the Chest Strap with care. Dropping the transmitter might cause damage that could
void the warranty.
4. Do not use the chest strap if you have a cardiac pacemaker or if your are taking medications
for a heart condition. Medication or electrical pulses from the pacemaker can interfere with
accurate heart rate readings.
5. Do not bend the strips inside the chest strap. This can cause the chest strap to lose
conductivity.
6. The chest strap has batteries that need to be replaced periodically. A faulty battery can
cause inaccurate reading.
7. It is suggested for the Chest Strap Transmitter that you position the transmitter as close
to your heart as possible, against the skin, 1-2 inches below the pectoral muscles. For best
results, moisten the back of the transmitter for better contact.
