Polar FT80 Fitness Electronics User Manual


 
Exercise equipment with electronic components may cause interfering stray signals. To tackle these problems, try the
following:
1. Remove the transmitter from your chest and use the exercise equipment as you would normally.
2. Move the wrist unit around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or does not flash the heart symbol.
Interference is often worst right in front of the display panel of the equipment, while the left or right side of the display is
relatively free of disturbance.
3. Put the transmitter back on your chest and keep the wrist unit in this interference-free area as much as possible.
If the FT80 still does not work, the piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for wireless heart rate measurement.
Polar FT80 may be worn when swimming. To maintain water resistance, do not press buttons under water. For more
