4. Rinse off your heart rate belt or other Movesense garment (see 6.1. Handling
guidelines).

can cause abnormally high heart rate readings. Moisten the belt electrodes well and
tighten the belt to avoid heart rate peaks. If you are otherwise concerned about your
heart rate, please consult a doctor.
5. Updating Firmware
RUNTEQ Smart Running Sensor firmware can be updated through RUNTEQ app (coming
available later). If an update is available, you are prompted to do the update through the
app.

6.2. Troubleshooting
The transmission range of the RUNTEQ Smart Running Sensor can be three meters or
more under ideal conditions. However, for best results, minimize obstructions between
the Sensor module and your sports watch or mobile device. Keep the watch or mobile in
front of you or to one side in a pocket or on a belt. If you keep your arms behind your
back or put your mobile device in a fanny pack, for instance, the transmission signal from
the Smart Sensor may be interrupted.
