Briton Heart Rate Monitor Doing Weird Things?

[Butterbean]

Ok so I have a bryton rider 35. Been really happy with it, works wonderfully!

 

For the past couple of rides, and during indoor sessions, the moment I put the heart rate monitor strap on, it reads something insane like 220! It doesn't really correct itself either, only dropping to the correct figures after a few minutes...

 

I do wet the strap as instructed, and it's placed right over my heart.

What going on? Why the false readings?

 

Thanks!

probably leaking, was a problem with the HR straps from the Rider35 and older.

 

contact bryton on their facebook page and they should swap it out for you with the Gen 2, or at least that's what they did for me.

Gees big up to Jason!

 

Read the reply, sent a message, and literally 20 seconds later got a call from Jason who gave me some advice on the fix.

 

Said to short the two copper contacts out when replacing battery. Then new battery in, and should be fine.

 

Seriously seriously impresses with his service... Wow guys. Just wow.

A product is only as good as the rep behind it.
