Why is my Concept 2 Home Gym heart rate monitor erratic?

  Shawn BradfordJul 27, 2025
  If your Concept 2 Home Gym displays erratic or absent heart rate readings, first, repeat the electrode wetting procedure to ensure the electrodes are sufficiently wet. Make sure the connector is centered with the electrodes flat against your skin, positioned comfortably high under your pectoral muscles. Regularly wash your elastic chest belt with mild soap and water. Ensure the receiver is within 1 meter/3 feet of your chest belt. Check all cable connections to the monitor and receiver. Strong electromagnetic signals from devices like TVs, computers, or high voltage power lines can interfere with readings, so move away from such sources. Also, multiple HR monitors nearby may cause interference; ensure you are not within 1 meter/3 feet of other transmitting devices.
