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.

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.
