Wear Tips for the HRM-Fit
To ensure both comfort and performance from your HRM-Fit™ monitor we recommend the following steps when putting the strap on.
Putting on the HR Monitor
Choose a medium or high support sports bra with a tight fitted band to put on. For tips on choosing the right sports bra, see the Sports Bra Fit Guide in the next section.
Wet the Electrodes on the back of the strap.
Starting with the center clip of the strap, insert the band fabric of the sports bra into the HRM-Fit then secure the lid into the closed position. Repeat this process for the side clips.
NOTE: If your sports bra has underwire, ensure the clips are secured on the fabric and not the wire so that it can lay flat against the skin.
Use a mirror to check that HRM-Fit is secured in place, lays flat underneath the bra band, and is compressed against the skin.
Sports Bra Fit Guide
HRM-Fit works best with a sports bra that has a flat band around the rib cage underneath the bust. Good band compression is a necessity to minimize HRM strap movement and ensure skin to electrode contact.
