Wearing a Chest Strap
During a workout, the heart rate features appear on the
display when you wear a chest strap. To receive an accurate
reading, the chest strap needs to be in direct contact with
your skin.
1. Carefully dampen the back of the strap with tap water
Refer to Diagram 7.
Important: Do not use deionized water. It does not have
the proper minerals and salts to conduct electrical
impulses.
