WARNING: This product is an advanced training and fitness tool. Before starting any exercise program, we strongly suggest you visit
your doctor for a complete physical and to discuss your exercise plans.
NOTICE TO SWIMMERS: The heart rate monitors are designed to be water resistant. This means that water should not enter the unit
during normal swimming. However, care should be taken not to press the keys while the unit is submerged or wet as this may cause
water to be forced past the key seals damaging the unit. However, operating heart rate monitors while in the water may cause other
operational problems for a variety of other reasons. First, water may interfere with the ability of the sensors to detect a heart rate
signal from the body. Overall, the likelihood of experiencing problems using a heart rate monitor will be much higher when the unit is
used in a water environment.
NOTICE TO PEOPLE WEARING PACEMAKERS: While the heart rate monitor in the monitor unit is a passive system and should have
no direct effect on a pacemaker, we strongly recommend anyone fitted with such a device contact their physician or cardiologist
before using this product or starting an exercise program.
