Those darned chest straps tend to go through batteries. Hopefully, yours has a replaceable battery. If it does, it should have a round area with a coin slot in it. You should be able to take a quarter and unscrew it. Inside there is probably a CR2032 battery - about the size of a quarter. Put a new one in
making sure you have the polarity correct. Then, if you are a man, who has a lot of chest hair, you might need to shave some of it off where the chest band pick-ups (on either side of the battery case) for a good contact on the skin. A good skin connection is necessary. They even make a special di-electric gel to facilitate a good heart beat reading. If you are a woman - especially an older woman - and your mammary glands (it won't let me use the B word) aren't the pert, young kind - you might need to work the strap up as far under them as possible to get it placed just above the solar plexus.
I have even heard of some people wearing the chest strap turned around so the contacts are on the back. This won't usually work unless a body is thin, though.

I have found that most HR strap problems are related to low skin resistance, at least for high quality straps. Low quality straps might have additional problems and run quickly out of battery. My solution is to moisten the skin under the strap. I made an HR monitor instruction video that many have found useful. Find it on YouTube at my Tom Tech channel. https://youtu.be/QXJ0spt9A1E
