transmitter
Note: The chest strap transmitter is not a standard part, but is a
separate purchase.
Most transmitters that operate at 5kHz frequency will also work.
• Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.
• Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too
tight to remain comfortable.
• Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your
body facing away from your chest (some people must position the
transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the nal end of the elastic
strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking parts, secure
the transmitter and strap around your chest.
• Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.
• Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat
electrical signals. However, plain water can also be used to pre-wet
the electrodes (2 black square areas on the reverse side of the belt
and either side of transmitter). It’s also recommended that you wear
the transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some
users, because of body chemistry, have a more dicult time in
achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After “warming
up”, this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the
transmitter/strap doesn’t aect performance.
• Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter
/ receiver – to achieve a strong steady signal. The length of range may
vary somewhat but generally stay close enough to the console to
maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter
immediately against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you
wish, you may wear the transmitter over a shirt. To do so, moisten the
areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.
