GET STARTED
Before starting to train with your FT4, you need to go through a
couple of steps. First, press and hold any button for one second to
activate your heart rate monitor. Then, go through the basic settings.
Please be precise with your settings. They make a big difference to
how accurately your heart rate monitor can measure values such as
your heart rate limits and calorie consumption.
WEAR THE HEART RATE SENSOR
1. Moisten the electrode area of
the strap.
2. Clip the strap around your chest
and adjust the strap to fit snugly.
Attach the connector.
After training, detach the
connector and rinse the strap
under running water to keep
it clean. For more detailed
instructions, see the full user
manual at
