rate sensor.

GET STARTED

Before starting to train with your FT4, you need to go through a

couple of steps. First, press and hold any button for one second to

activate your heart rate monitor. Then, go through the basic settings.

Please be precise with your settings. They make a big difference to

how accurately your heart rate monitor can measure values such as

your heart rate limits and calorie consumption.

WEAR THE HEART RATE SENSOR

1. Moisten the electrode area of

the strap.

2. Clip the strap around your chest

and adjust the strap to fit snugly.

Attach the connector.

After training, detach the

connector and rinse the strap

under running water to keep

it clean. For more detailed

instructions, see the full user

manual at
