WEARING THE CHEST BELT AND WATCH
CHEST BELT
The heart rate chest belt is used to count your heartbeat and
transmit the data to the watch. To wear the chest belt:
1. Wet the conductive pads on the underside of the chest
belt with a few drops of water or a conductive gel to
ensure solid contact.
2. Strap the heart rate chest belt across your chest. To
ensure an accurate heart rate signal, adjust the strap
until the belt sits snugly below your pectoral muscles.
TIPS
•
The position of the chest belt affects its performance.
Move the chest belt along the strap so that it falls above
your heart.
• Avoid areas with dense chest hair.
• In dry, cold climates, it may take several minutes for the
chest belt to function steadily. This is normal and should
improve with several minutes of exercise.
• To maintain the best performance of your chest belt,
please handle it with care according to the following:
• Do not wrap the chest belt in a wet towel nor
with other wet materials.
• Do not store the chest belt in a hot (about 50°C)
and humid (about 90%) environment.
• Do not place or wash the chest belt under
running water, instead clean it with a wet cloth.
• Do not place the conductive rubber face down
on a metal table or surface.
• Properly dry the chest belt immediately after use.
NOTE If the watch is kept idle without receiving a heart
rate signal for 5 minutes, the Heart Rate Mode will quit and
return to Clock Mode.
