1.4 WEARING YOUR TRANSMITTER
Coded heart rate transmission reduces interference from other heart rate monitors that are close by. To make sure that the
code search is successful and to ensure trouble-free heart rate monitoring, keep the cycling computer within 1 meter/
3 feet of your transmitter. Check that you are not near other people with heart rate monitors or any source of electromagnetic
disturbance. For further information on interference, see Precautions on page 61.
To measure your heart rate, you need to wear the transmitter.
1. Wet the electrode areas of the strap under running water.
2. Attach the connector to the strap. Adjust the strap to fi t tightly but comfortably.
3. Tie the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and attach the hook to
the other end of the strap.
4. Check that the wet electrode areas are fi rmly against your skin and that the Polar logo
of the connector is in a central and upright position.
Note: Detach the connector from the strap after every use, to maximize the transmitter
battery lifetime. Sweat and moisture may keep the electrodes wet and the transmitter
activated. This will reduce the transmitter battery life.
See detailed washing instructions in Care and Maintenance chapter.
