Putting on the chest strap
„ Tighten the chest strap with the elastic tension
belt. Adjust the length of the belt such that the
belt is snug, but neither too loose nor too tight.
Position the belt around the chest such that the
logo is facing outwards and in the correct posi-
tion directly over the breast bone. For men, the
chest belt should be located directly below the
pectoral muscles, for women, directly below the
breast.

Since optimal contact between the skin and the heart rate sensors
can not be created immediately, it may take some time until the
heart rate is measured and displayed. If necessary, alter the posi-
tion of the transmitter in order to achieve optimal contact. Most of
the time, sufficient contact is achieved through the accumulation
of sweat beneath the chest strap. You can, however, also wet the
contact points on the inside of the chest strap. For this, lift the
chest strap up from the skin slightly and wet the two sensors with
saliva, water or ECG gel (available at the chemistry). The contact
between the skin and chest strap may not be interrupted also with
greater movements of the thorax such as during deep breathing.
