Ok, so I got a heart rate monitor from walmart - I spent $50 on it, and can't figure out how to make it work! The instructions only walk you through about half of it! I figured out how to set the date and time, my high/low heart rate, and I figured out how to turn on and off the pedometer. I can't figure out how to get it to count calories burned (which is the main reason I got the damn thing). I don't knwo what all the little abbrevations stand for - it doesn't explain it in the guide! Can anyone help me???

    and for the record, no it doesn't have a chest strap. Should I take this one back and get another one?

    never mind, can't help you. mine was about 50 bucks, and has a chest strap. I would just recommend you get one with a chest strap and that also allows you to input you weight and height (the downside to mine).

    I bought mine at walmart for 50, I would take it back and get the one with the chest strap. I have one without also and boy is there a big difference in numbers!!
