I have recently bought the Frontier X2. Can anyone please tell me what causes the signal to be noisy or not interpretable, as I have found very little information on the subject on the Fourth Frontier website.

Yes, I recently also got an X2, and am wondering about the noise. I tightened the strap and that seems to help but hate having it so tight. I wonder if there is some conductive gel that could be used to improve contact??

I’ve tried personal lube and ultrasound gel. Both dry out fast. If you can go hard enough to sweat is best I find.

Body oils will accumulate on the strap over time and adversely impact signal quality. It is a good practice to clean the strap electrodes with an isopropyl alcohol wipe prior to every use. Search Amazon for Spectra 360 electrode gel – works great and is very inexpensive.

Experiment with a live ECG, you’ll notice clothing rustling agains the unit; arm movements; turning over in bed & general movement causes noise; which is a little odd, since people will be monitoring exercise WITH movements!?
Try it & you’ll see what I mean, although it works very well on cycling.

Alerts on the Frontier X2 need to be personalized for each individual based on factors like age, gender, fitness, prior heart conditions, medication and ECG morphology.

But how can we find any documentation on how to personalize ?

I’m pretty sure that black plug doesn’t do anything for water resistance. It just keeps the port clean.

I’ve emailed them about ice baths & the black plug is meant to protect the charger point while in water.

If you haven’t tried moistening the strap, body hair could possibly interrupt connection.
