If the Console does not display a heart rate value, the transmitter may be at fault. Check that the textured contact areas on the chest strap are
making contact with your skin. You may need to lightly wet the contact areas. Check that the curve of the transmitter is oriented upward. If no signal

• Movement of the upper body muscles (including arms) produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that can interfere with pulse detection. Slight
hand movement while in contact with the sensors can also produce interference.
• Calluses and hand lotion may act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength.
• Some Electrocardiogram (EKG) signals generated by individuals are not strong enough to be detected by the sensors.

If your heart rate signal ever seems erratic after validation, wipe off your hands and the sensors and try again.
