Wear the Transmitter
1. Wet the electrode areas of the strap under
running water and make sure that they
are well moistened. Picture B1.
2. Attach the connector to the strap. Adjust
the strap length to fit snugly and
comfortably. Picture B2.

Care and Maintenance
The transmitter is a high-tech instrument that
should be handled with care. The following
instructions will help you fulfill guarantee
obligations.
Detach the transmitter connector from the
strap and rinse the strap under running water
after every use. Dry the connector with a soft
towel. Never use alcohol or any abrasive
material (steel, wool or cleaning chemicals).
Wash the strap regularly in a washing
machine at 40ºC/104ºF or at lest after every
fifth use. This ensures reliable measurement
and maximizes the life span of the transmitter.
Use a washing pouch. Do not soak, spin-dry,
iron, dry clean or bleach the strap. Do not use
detergent with bleach or fabric softener. Never
put the transmitter connector in the washing
machine or drier!
Dry and store the strap and connector
separately. Wash the strap in a washing
machine before long-term storage, and always
after use in pool water with high chlorine
content.
Keep the transmitter in a cool and dry place. Do
not store wet in non-breathing material, such as
a sports bag. Sweat and moisture keep the
electrodes wet and activated. Do not expose to
direct sunlight for extended periods.
