ATTACHING YOUR HEART MONITOR 1. Attach the adjustable strap to one side of the transmitter. Push the round tab of the belt clip through the back side of the attaching hole on the transmitter and twist it into place (Fig. 1). The unique angled clip is designed to prevent the belt from slipping down your chest. It can be attached in either the up or down position (keeping both the same).

If you prefer to wear your belt over a light shirt you will need to generously moisten the areas of the shirt directly beneath the electrodes in order to insure proper signal pick-up. You may wear as many layers of clothing as desired over the transmitter belt without affecting the operating range. 5. Put your wrist monitor on. The monitor doesn’t have to be attached to your wrist to register your heart rate, it just has to be within 3 feet of your chest. EXERCISING WITH YOUR HR427 HEART RATE

magnetic fields like those in a vehicle (or on board an aircraft) can cause disturbances in the heart rate readings. When your monitor detects too much interference such as this, it will usually display "00" or “- -” and eventually turn its heart rate circuit off. The indicator tells you if the heart rate circuit is on. In most cases, holding the monitor within a foot of the front of the chest belt will allow your monitor to receive the signal and display your heart rate accurately. My Fitness I
