- Moisten Electrodes: Dampen the two electrode areas on the back of the strap with water or electrode gel. This ensures good contact with your skin for accurate heart rate detection.
- Wear the Chest Strap: Adjust the elastic strap to fit snugly around your chest, just below your pectoral muscles. The sensor should be centered on your chest. The strap has a maximum length of 120 cm.
Operating Instructions
Once the chest strap is properly set up and worn, follow these steps to begin monitoring your heart rate:
- Activate Receiver: Turn on your compatible fitness equipment (e.g., treadmill, exercise bike, heart rate watch) and ensure its heart rate receiving function is active.
- Automatic Connection: The Tunturi 14TUSRU150 chest strap transmits heart rate data using a 5.4 kHz frequency. Most compatible devices will automatically detect and connect to the chest strap once it is worn and transmitting.
- Verify Connection: Check your fitness equipment's display to confirm that your heart rate is being detected and displayed.
- During Exercise: Maintain a comfortable and secure fit of the chest strap throughout your workout for continuous and accurate heart rate monitoring.
Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your Tunturi heart rate chest strap:
- Cleaning the Strap: After each use, detach the sensor from the elastic strap. Rinse the elastic strap under running water and hang it to dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Cleaning the Sensor: Wipe the sensor clean with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the sensor in water. The sensor unit is water resistant, but not waterproof for submersion.
- Battery Replacement: Replace the CR2 battery when the heart rate signal becomes intermittent or is no longer detected. Refer to the "Battery Installation" section under Setup for instructions.
- Storage: Store the chest strap and sensor in a cool, dry place when not in use. Do not store the sensor attached to the strap for extended periods, as this can drain the battery.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Tunturi heart rate chest strap, consider the following solutions:
- No Heart Rate Signal:

- Adjust the strap position on your chest.
- Inaccurate Readings:
- Re-moisten the electrodes.
