Can anyone with a Sportline 1010W HRM please tell me how to get the chest strap to work with the watch. I am able to get my heart rate just fine using the watch, but when I try to get it using the strap...nothing. I believe that I followed the instructions, but this is my first time using a HRM so I'm not sure=/. Please help me...

    To acquire Heart Rate with the Chest Strap Transmitter:
    1. Scroll to Heart Rate/Chronograph mode by PRESSING the MODE key.
    2. Start the Chronograph by PRESSING the START/STOP key. The
    monitor will acquire heart rate in approximately 10 seconds.
    NOTE: In dry and cold climates it may take a few minutes for a layer of perspiration to form between the chest strap and the skin.
    Moistening the electrodes with saliva or ECG conductive gel can speed up this process.
    3. To Stop chronograph, PRESS & HOLD the START/STOP button for 2 seconds.
