NOTE:

Dry skin under the belt electrodes, a loose or worn out chest strap, and synthetic shirt materials can cause abnormally high heart rate readings. Moisten the belt electrodes well and tighten the belt to avoid heart rate peaks. If you are otherwise concerned about your heart rate, please consult a doctor.
