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).

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.
