If you prefer to wear your belt over a light shirt you will need to
generously moisten the areas of the shirt directly beneath the
electrodes in order to insure proper signal pick-up. You may wear as
many layers of clothing as desired over the transmitter belt without
affecting the operating range.
5. Put your wrist monitor on. The monitor doesn’t have to be
attached to your wrist to register your heart rate, it just has to be
within 3 feet of your chest.
3. Center and position the belt as shown, at heart level, just below
your pectoral muscles or breasts (but not too low) and attach the
other end of the strap to the transmitter. The "Vetta” logo should be
positioned at the center of your chest.
4. Moisten the transmitter electrodes. For best results, the belt
should be worn directly on your skin. A small amount of moisture is
needed to assist in conducting the electrical impulses generated
from your heart beats to the transmitter. Gently pull belt away from
skin and apply a small drop of water or saline solution to each of the
two electrodes—one on each side (Fig. 3).
