RISKS FOR CHILDREN AND INDIVIDUALS
REQUIRING ASSISTANCE
This device is not intended for use by
individuals (including children) with limited
physical, sensorial or emotional capacities or
limited experience and / or knowledge unless
they are supervised by an individual
responsible for their safety or receive
instructions from the latter as to how the
device should be used.
SAFETY NOTE
Important: Always consult your doctor prior
to starting a regular exercise program. The
receiver with chest strap is not a medical
device; it is a training aid for monitoring and
displaying your heart rate. Wearers of
pacemakers should only use devices for
monitoring heart rate after consulting their
doctor.
Note: The chest strap can contain latex
components. In rare cases, allergic reactions
can occur to this substance, in the form of –
possibly relatively intense – skin irritations
and redness. Therefore, if you should notice
only slight redness, please turn to our
customer service department or consult a
dermatologist.

BATTERY OPERATION
Your receiver and chest strap are each
powered by a lithium battery (receiver: 3V,
CR1220; chest strap: 3V, CR2032).
The following section provides you with
information about using batteries:
Always replace a battery with a battery
of the same type.
Batteries should not be charged or re-
activated by any other means and they
should not be disassembled, discarded
in a fire or short-circuited.
Always keep batteries out of the reach of
children. Batteries can be fatal if
swallowed. Therefore, keep batteries and
the chest strap out of the reach of small
children. If a battery is swallowed, seek
medical advice immediately.
Never expose the batteries to excessive
heat from direct sunlight, fire or other
such sources! This increases the risk of
leakage. Ignoring this information may
result in damage and possibly even to
the batteries exploding.
Remove a depleted battery from the
receiver and/or chest strap immediately,
as they may otherwise leak. When doing
this avoid contact with your skin, eyes
and mucous membranes. If you should
come into contact with battery acid,
rinse the affected area immediately with
plenty of clean water and seek medical
advice. If necessary, clean the battery
contacts and the counter-contacts in the

Page 5of 16
unit. Keep the operating instructions safe
so that you can refer to the relevant
battery information.
Ignoring this information may result in
damage and possibly even to the batteries
exploding. You can find information on
replacing the battery for the receiver and the
chest strap under the sections entitled
"Changing the battery for the receiver" and
"Changing the battery for the chest strap.”
DISPOSAL
Batteries are hazardous waste.
Batteries can be disposed of
correctly by shops selling
batteries and at municipal

person.
Advantage of uncoded transmission:
Transmission between the chest strap
and receiver uses a frequency that is
supported by most fitness equipment,
thereby enabling you to use the chest
strap with many other devices, such as
treadmills and cross trainers.
