However your training partner may have coincidentally activated exactly
the same code. Checking the secondary measurement
displays with transmission code and heart rate limits in use.
In this case you have the following alternatives:
1. Keep a distance from your training partner and continue your training
session normally
or
2. Stop the heart rate measurement ( Stop the heart rate
measurement), pull the transmitter off your chest for 15 seconds
(code will be changed) and restart from the beginning ( Start the

that the transmitter is turned off again, as sweat may keep it active even
when it is off your chest.
