Residual sweat and moisture may keep the transmitter active and drain the battery in the transmitter. Dry and wipe clean the transmitter after each
use.
Note: Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol when you clean the chest strap, as they can damage the electrodes
permanently.

making contact with your skin. You may need to lightly wet the contact areas. If no signal appears or you need further assistance, call your Nautilus
Representative.
