The heart rate reading becomes erratic, extremely
high or shows nil (00)
• Make sure the heart rate sensor strap has not
loosened during exercise.
• Make sure the textile electrodes in the sports
apparel fit snugly.
• Make sure the electrodes of the heart rate sensor
strap are moistened.
• Make sure the heart rate sensor is clean. Strong
electromagnetic signals can cause erratic
readings. For further information, see
Precautions (page 51).
• If the erratic heart rate reading continues despite
moving away from the source of disturbance,
slow down your speed and check your pulse
manually. If you feel it corresponds to the high
reading on the display, you may be experiencing
cardiac arrhythmia. Most cases of arrhythmia are
not serious, but consult your doctor nevertheless.
• A cardiac event may have altered your ECG
waveform. In this case, consult your doctor.
The speed, distance or cadence readings are
irregular
Temporary electromagnetic interference in your
current surroundings can cause irregular readings.
WLAN base stations may cause interference. To
avoid erratic reading or misbehaviors, move away
from possible sources of disturbance.
