NOTE: Using too much detergent may damage the heart rate
monitor.
• Do not put the heart rate monitor in a washing machine or
dryer.
• When drying the heart rate monitor, hang it up or lay it flat.
Tips for Erratic Heart Rate Data
If the heart rate data is erratic or does not appear, you can try
these tips.
• Reapply water to the electrodes and contact patches (if
applicable).
• Tighten the strap on your chest.
• Warm up for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Follow the care instructions (Caring for the Heart Rate
Monitor, page 15).
• Wear a cotton shirt or thoroughly wet both sides of the strap.
Synthetic fabrics that rub or flap against the heart rate
monitor can create static electricity that interferes with heart
rate signals.
• Move away from sources that can interfere with your heart
rate monitor.
Sources of interference may include strong electromagnetic
fields, some 2.4 GHz wireless sensors, high-voltage power
lines, electric motors, ovens, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz
cordless phones, and wireless LAN access points.

Activity Profiles
Activity profiles are a collection of settings that optimize your
device based on how you are using it. For example, the settings

When you are using a profile and you change settings such as
data fields or alerts, the changes are saved automatically as part
of the profile.
