Important
If you have a heart pacemaker, use the pulse measuring device
only after you have obtained the approval of your doctor or the

Technical specification
The Kettler Cardio Pulse Set consists of three main components:
Chest belt: elastic material adjustable in length and fitted with
two plastic-coated electrodes.
Transmitter: attached to chest belt and powered by battery; aver-

(1 hour per day).
Receiver: this is inserted into the socket provided in the training

lead.
Maintenance
When not in regular use, the transmitter should be removed from
the belt, otherwise the battery will tend to discharge.
Following use, the transmitter and the electrodes should be cleaned
with mild soap and rinsed with water. Never use alcohol, chemical
detergents or abrasives such as steel wool, as these may cause

reduces their electrical conductivity.
