1. WET THE ELECTRODE AREAS OF ELASTIC CHEST BELT
Wet the electrode area (the two rectangular areas on the underside of the chest belt) thoroughly under running water.
2. ATTACH THE CONNECTOR TO THE ELASTIC CHEST BELT
Position the letter L on the connector next to the word LEFT on the chest belt and
snap the fastener.
3. SECURE THE ELASTIC CHEST BELT
Center the chest belt flat against your skin, as high under the pectoral muscles
(breasts) as is comfortable. The logo should be right side up. Snap the second
fastener. The chest belt should fit snugly and comfortably and allow for
normal breathing.
4. ROW!
Your heart rate will be displayed in the center right display in all display modes.
See photo at right.
NOTE: It sometimes takes a few minutes of exercise to achieve a consistent heart rate signal.
Troubleshooting
What if the heart rate reading is erratic or totally
absent?
NOTE: Occasionally the heart rate monitor will pick up
bad data for a number of reasons. When the monitor
recognizes bad data, the display will go blank rather
than show the bad data. It will take five seconds or
longer to re-establish and display accurate readings.
1. Repeat the electrode wetting procedure as
described above. The electrodes must be wet to
pick up accurate heart rate readings.
2. Make sure the connector is centered with
electrodes flat against your skin, as high under the
pectoral muscles as is comfortable.
3. Wash your elastic chest belt with mild soap and
water, if you have not been doing so regularly.
4. Make sure your receiver is within the proper range
to receive transmission (1 meter/3 feet from your
chest belt).
5. Check the connection where the receiver cable
plugs into the underside of the monitor. Check the
connection between the cable and the receiver.

6. If you are exercising within range of strong
electromagnetic signals the heart rate readings
may elevate to abnormal levels. Common
sources of electromagnetic signals are
televisions, computers, cars, TV antennas, high
voltage power lines and motor driven exercise
equipment.
7. Signals from more than one HR monitor within
the transmission range (1 meter/3 feet) may
also cause incorrect readings. Check your
surroundings and move away from the source of
interference if possible.
NOTE: Two indoor rowers with heart rate
hardware must be at least four feet (1.22 meters)
apart to avoid interference.
