TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLE SHOOTING – HEART RATE
INTERFERENCE
Heart rate monitors are subject to interference from a wide range of external sources of electromagnetic and microwave
radiation. High tension power lines, home and automotive electronics, exercise equipment, home security systems, traffic
light controls, airport radar systems and other things are capable under the right conditions of blocking the heart rate
transmission system. When this happens, the user will usually notice a very heart rate reading (200+ ) or a reading of
zero. Usually sources of interference are localized and the unit will return to proper operation in a few seconds or at most
minutes.
CROSS TALK
Exercising in close proximity to other people using heart rate monitors may cause your watch to pick up signals from
chest straps other than your own. This is known as Cross Talk. To avoid problems associated with Cross Talk it is
recommended that you separate yourself from others wearing heart rate monitors by a minimum of 3’ or 1m in all
directions.
TRANSMISSION RANGE
The heart rate monitor system has an effective range of 28-30 inches (.75 meters). If the monitor is separated from the
transmitter strap by a greater distance than this, you may not be able to receive a heart rate signal. Additionally, the
orientation of the watch and transmitter must be such that the reading direction of watch face is not aligned perpen-
dicular to the transmitter. Having the system in this orientation will significantly reduce the units range.
TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLE SHOOTING – BASIC
The Loft is a very sensitive and sophisticated instrument. If properly cared for it should last and remain accurate for many
years. However, from time to time problems may occur. It has been our experience that the majority of the problems seen
by consumers with products such as the Loft are related to dead or dying batteries.
While the estimated life of a fresh battery in the unit is approximately one year, this can be shortened considerably if the
heart rate, altimeter or EL systems of the unit are used extensively. Whenever you are experiencing issues related to the
function of the unit it is recommended that you install a fresh battery as a first course of action, especially if it has been
more than a half a year since the last time the battery was replaced.
BE AWARE: Lithium batteries of the type used in this watch are very susceptible to improper storage. Many
times, batteries purchased as new are dead or weak before they are purchased. Do not assume that batteries in
stores are good. If you try a new battery and problems persist, please try a second battery from another source,
just to be certain.
If the battery on the watch unit of the Loft system is failing it may show itself in several ways. Indications of a weak
battery are:
1. A fading or blank display. Also if the display goes blank when the EL system is operated and then comes
back on when the EL system turns off.
2. Inaccurate readings from the Altimeter or Heart Rate systems
3. Reduced heart rate system reception distance.
