To make sure that the codesearch is successful and to ensure trouble-free heart ratemonitoring, keep the wrist unit within 3 feet/1 meter of yourtransmitter (FS2c/FS3c).Check that you are not near other people with heart ratemonitors or any source of electromagnetic disturbances(for further information on interference, see the Precautionschapter on page 50).4. Wear the wrist unit as a watch.1. Attach one end of thetransmitter to the elasticstrap.2. Adjust the transmitter’s straplength to fit snugly andcomfortably. Secure the straparound your chest, just belowthe chest muscles, and bucklethe strap to the transmitter.3. Lift the transmitter off yourchest and moisten the twogrooved electrode areason the back.
