TRAINING WITH YOUR V800
When you use our heart rate sensors when training, you get the most

training. This will help you ne-tune your training plans and reach your
peak performance.

the strap.
2. Attach the connector to the
strap.
3. Tie the strap around your
chest, just below the chest
muscles, and adjust the strap
to t tightly but comfortably.
Detach the connector from the
strap, and rinse the strap under
running water after every training
session. Sweat and moisture

activated, so also remember to
wipe it dry.

buy one later.
