Nancy Drew Posted October 4, 2008 Share I'm having a problem with my CS400 reading my heart rate intermittently. I thought it might be the battery, so I replaced it this morning and it started out reading fine, but halfway through the ride it told me to check wearlink and then read my HR at 235 and then back to zero.. any ideas what could be causing this? All the other readings are fine i.e. speed, temp etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekend_Warrior Posted October 4, 2008 Share i use gel on my heart rate strap that way i know that it doesnt get dry between the strap and my chest, i never have problems with my heart rate reading like tht while my friend who likes to use spit often has poor reading.The gel i use is a soothing gel that i got from my LBS its blue.

Contaminated Haggis Posted October 4, 2008 Share ND, the gel wont help any if the sensors are clogged. Before spending cash on the goo, unclip the battery and hand wash the strap with some washing detergent and hot water, then rinse it out. I had the same problem with mine.

mrmed Posted October 4, 2008 Share Actually I had to replace my strap after suffering the same problem. That reminds me I must go and fetch said strap from LBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contaminated Haggis Posted October 4, 2008 Share The straps are finicky yes, definitely in need of design improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 4, 2008 Share will try that with my GF's one - exactly the same problem. Intermittent pickup of HR, even when standing still... Replaced BOTH batteries as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] thanks dougaroony.. I have already washed it, no luck.. perhaps the washing machine wasn't the way to go (although I had the problem before washing it) damn.. so I might have to replace the strap hey?
