Note that in addition to exercise intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological
conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect
heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body’s responses during exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or
excessive fatigue when exercising, it is recommended that you stop the exercise or continue at a lighter
intensity.
Note! If you are using a pacemaker, you can use Polar training computers. In theory interference to
pacemaker caused by Polar products should not be possible. In practice no reports exist to suggest anyone
ever having experienced interference. We cannot however issue an official guarantee on our products'
suitability with all pacemakers or other implanted devices due to the variety of devices available. If you
have any doubts, or if you experience any unusual sensations while using Polar products, please consult
your physician or contact the implanted electronic device manufacturer to determine safety in your case.
If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic
reaction due to using the product, check the listed materials in Technical Specifications. To avoid any
skin reaction to the heart rate sensor, wear it over a shirt, but moisten the shirt well under the electrodes
to ensure flawless operation.
The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color to come off the heart rate sensor’s
surface, possibly staining light-colored clothes. If you use insect repellent on your skin, you must ensure that it
does not come into contact with the heart rate sensor.
