The belt transmitter is the "sending unit".  I have had different 
sending belts and different watches, (I use this stuff for triathlon 
training) some of the sending belts have batteries, but polars does 
not.  The  unit on the right hand side of teh pic you sent is actually a 
human chest strap sending unit that is being  held on the horse via  a  
really long  belt.  I could  mimic that  but  I used it on the base of 
his neck just north of his withers.  My reading was on and off and I got 
the wierd numbers.
Thank you for your help
Keith
