Polar FT80 Heart Rate Monitor User Manual


 
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 transmitter, 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 transmitter’s surface,
possibly staining light-colored clothes. If you use perfume or
insect repellent on your skin, you must ensure that it does not
come into contact with the training computer or the transmitter.
Training 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
training 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.
