• To conduct the electrical impulses from your heart, the chest strap’s
electrodes require a certain percentage of salts and minerals in the water
used to wet them. The electrodes continue to transmit your heart rate
reading as long as they are in contact with your skin and your skin is
providing enough moisture through your perspiration to keep the electrodes
wet. However, if the concentration of salts in your perspiration is not high
enough to conduct electrical impulses and send them to the receiver, your
heart rate reading will appear erratic or not appear at all. Some people
cannot use the heart rate feature because they do not have the proper body
chemistry. See Correcting Inconsistent Heart Rate Readings .
• Do not use the chest strap if you are taking any medication or have a cardiac
pacemaker. Inaccurate heart rate readings can occur due to medication or
electrical impulses from the cardiac pacemaker.
• Stretching or bending the electrode strips on the chest strap may cause the
strips to lose their conductivity. Handle the chest strap with care.
• After extensive use, the chest strap (transmitter) may wear out, causing
inaccurate heart rate readings. With every use, check the strap for excessive
wear and replace it if necessary. See Obtaining Service on the inside front
cover.
