First Manual

General Information-

The Cardiosport First continuously measures heart rate with ECG accuracy and displays this on the heart rate receiver as beats per minute.  The Cardiosport First has been designed to be very easy to use with a large LCD display and logical operation.

Before you begin an exercise program, you are advised to consult your doctor.

Cardiosport First Functions-

♥ - To switch off the heart rate receiver, press and hold the ON key for 2 seconds.

AUTOMATIC SWITCH OFF-

CARE AND MAINTENANCE-

♥ - Thourghly wipe your Cardiosport First heart rate receiver and transmitter, and allow the elastic strap to dry after each use.  Store your HRM in a cool dry place.

♥ - Do not expose your Cardiosport First HRM to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as leaving it in a car

♥ - Do not expose your Cardiosport First HRM to extremes of temperature above 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 C), or below 14 degrees Fahrenheit (-10C).

Replacing the Transmitter Battery-

Undo the battery hatch with a suitable coin and remove the old battery.  Ensure that the new battery is inserted into the hatch correctly with the plus sign facing the battery hatch.  Check the rubber gasket is clean, correctly fitted and not damaged, then close the hatch securely.

Replacing the Heart Rate Receiver Battery-

The heart rate receiver should be returned to a jewelery shop or an Authorized Cardiosport Service Center.

Troubleshooting-

What if the heart rate reading is erratic or totally absent?

Repeat the electrode moistening procedure.  The electrodes must be moist to pick up accurate heart rate readings.

Make sure the electrodes are flat against the skin.

  What if the heart rate reading becomes erratic or becomes extremely high (above 200)?

  When exercising with your Cardiosport First HRM, you may come within range of other electromagnetic signals, causing the heart rate reading to elevate to abnormal levels.  Common sources of electromagnetic signals are high voltage power lines and motor driven equipment.  Signals from other people’s transmitter belts (within 80cm) can also cause incorrect readings.  Check our surroundings and move away from the source.
