POSITIOnIng Of THe HeArT rATe STrAP

To monitor your pulse, or heart rate, you

must be wearing the heart rate strap. The

strap senses each contraction, or beat, of

your heart. The beat is sensed electrically,

so proper location of the strap is important

to attain the strongest signal.

To be near to your heart, wear the heart

rate strap around your lower rib cage, just

under the breasts (Figure 12).

For best results, the contact between the

sensor and your skin should be moist.

Wet the ribbed section of the sensor before

putting it on. Once you start riding, this

area will stay moist from perspiration.
