Activating The Heart Rate Monitor From Power Saving Mode; Putting On The Chest Strap - Beurer PM 52 Gebrauchsanleitung

Activating the heart rate monitor from power saving mode

You can activate your heart rate monitor by pressing any button. If the
heart rate monitor has not received any signal for approx. five minutes, it
switches to the power saving mode. At that point, only the current time
and the date will be displayed. Press any button in order to reactivate
the watch.

Putting on the chest strap

Put the chest strap around the upper part of your
body and fasten the two ends. 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 position 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 position of the
transmitter in order to achieve optimal contact. Most of the time, suf-
ficient contact is achieved through the accumulation of sweat be-
neath 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. Significant chest chair can
interfere with and even prevent contact.
Put on the chest strap a few minutes before starting in order to warm
it up to body temperature and establish optimal contact.
