In case you join a class after connecting your Heart Rate Monitor device, you might notice the metric for your heart rate is not being shown. That's because, for every class you join, you need to tell VAHA which Heart Rate Monitor you want to use during that class. Follow the steps below to use your Heart Rate Monitor on your workouts.

We recommend that you set your Heart Rate Monitor before the class starts. However, it is still possible to set an HR Monitor device during a class.

1. Attach and position your HR monitor around your chest, making sure the sensors are in full contact with your skin. This will turn the device on.
2. Ensure the HR Monitor device is not connected to any other device.

Before a class starts:

1. Tap the Wearables icon on the status bar to open the Accessories page.
2. On the Accessories page, select the Heart Rate Monitor device you want to use. VAHA will automatically connect to the selected device.
3. Close the Accessories page and start the class. Check the metric for your heart rate during the class.

During a class:

1. You can either tap the Wearables icon on the status bar or tap 'Connect' on the HR widget at the bottom of the page, to open the Accessories page.
2. On the Accessories page, select the Heart Rate Monitor device you want to use. VAHA will automatically connect to the selected device.
3. Close the Accessories page and return to the class. Check the metric for your heart rate during the class.

1. Ensure that the sections on the back of your VAHA heart rate monitor band are moist with water. 
2. Attach the connector to the strap.
3. Tie the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, or a sports bra strap. Attach the hook to the other end of the strap.
4. Adjust the strap length to fit tightly but comfortably. Be sure the sensors are in full contact with your skin.

VAHA will not be able to connect to your VAHA heart rate monitor when it is connected to other devices.

1. Turn off Bluetooth on other devices.
2. Connect the VAHA heart rate monitor as described here.

VAHA Heart Rate Monitor uses a 3V Lithium battery model number CR2032, which should be available at a supermarket or hardware store.

1. Use a coin inside the groove to remove the back of the Heart Rate Monitor.
2. Remove the current battery cell.
3. Install the new battery cell with the plus (+) side facing outward.
4. Reinstall the back cover.

We strongly recommend detaching the connector from the strap and rinsing the strap under running water after every use. Sweat and moisture may keep the electrodes wet and the heart rate sensor activated, reducing the longevity of the battery.
