To monitor your pulse, or heart rate, you
must be wearing the heart rate strap. The
strap senses each contraction, or beat, of
your heart. The beat is sensed electrically,
so proper location of the strap is important
to attain the strongest signal.
To be near to your heart, wear the heart
rate strap around your lower rib cage, just
under the breasts (Figure 12).
For best results, the contact between the
sensor and your skin should be moist.
Wet the ribbed section of the sensor before
putting it on. Once you start riding, this
area will stay moist from perspiration.
