NOTE: If you have trouble with erratic heart rate readings, position the transmitter on your back instead of your chest, or try applying electrode gel.4. Tighten or loosen the strap as necessary so that it fits snugly against your body.5. Turn on the Edge.6. Bring it within range (3 meters) of the heart rate monitor. The heart rate monitor automatically transmits your heart rate to the Edge, and the heart rate icon changes from flashing to constant.TIP: Be sure to move away from other heart rate monitors while the Edge is trying to “pair” with your heart rate monitor and begin receiving heart rate data. Once the Edge pairs with your heart rate monitor, you can go near other heart rate monitors.
