HRM ...Really Frustrated

My step-dad bought me an HRM quite some time ago (maybe 3-4 weeks ago). I can't figure it out for the life of me. I've googled and you-tubed for instructions that are super dumbed down but I can't find them. I was hoping to find a good how to video on youtube but only found 1 and it wasn't even instructional. I'm completely irritated and about to give up on using it. Right now I'm to the point where I'm going to just toss it in the drawer and forget that it's there.
On top of not knowing how to use it it's extremely uncomfortable! I have large breasts and wearing the chest strap is just...not comfortable. I wear it so it is below my breasts/bra. It's not comfortable.
You'd think for being a $130 piece of equipment (got it for $29 on sale) that it would come with better instructions and easier to use!
I really want to use it because I want a real reading and I want to know exactly what I'm burning so I don't have to feel like I need to keep a safety net for my calories.
Frustrated.
It's pretty much this.. but it's not Reebok it's Bowflex
