Has anyone found some kind of a wetting agent for the Frontier contact pads that lasts longer than saliva? If I can’t work hard enough to sweat the pads dry and I suspect getting pretty wooly reading. HR 1 bpm??? I’ve tried personal lubes (yes those), ultrasound gel. I haven’t tried oil based lubes yet.
Will oil based mess up the contact pads?![Profile Photo]()

I’ve been using pure aloe, I use it on my H wave pads so I figured it would work out well.

Can the Frontier X2 be used as a HR strap with other exercise apps (Xert, Wahoo, Zwift) WITHOUT first having to start an activity in the Fourth Frontier app?

Hi, Yes this can be done as long as the exercise apps support BLE connectivity to third party devices. To start the activity, just double press the button on the Frontier X device.

Who else got the Fourth Frontier due to cardiac issues caused by a fast tracked pharmacological mass intervention?

Mass pharmological intervention. Hmmm that’s a good way to put it.

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.

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

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.
