3. TRAINING
Wear the Transmitter
1. Wet the electrode areas of the
strap well under running water.
2. Attach the connector to the
strap. Adjust the strap length to
fit it 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 firmly against your
skin and that the Polar logo of
the connector is in a central
and upright position.
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.
For more detailed information on how to maintain your transmitter, see Washing Instructions for
WearLink+ Transmitter (page 14).
