I just got the same heart monitor and noted the same problem. I
called the company and they suggested moving the sensing unit up the horses
side, thus placing the trensmitter closer to the receiver on your wrist. I
tried this and it seems to work so far. The range limit for this
transmitter seems to be between 2 and 3 feet.
