GETTING STARTED
1. Attach the Polar Coded Transmitter
to the elastic strap.
2. Adjust the strap length so that it fits snugly
and comfortably. Secure the strap around
your chest, below the chest muscles.
Lock the buckle.
3. Pull the transmitter off your chest and
wet the grooved electrode areas
on the back of it.
4. Check that the wet electrode areas are
firmly against your skin and that the Polar
logo is in a central upright position.
5. Wear the wrist receiver as you would wear an ordinary watch.
Alternatively, if you go biking, you may attach the wrist receiver to a Polar
Bike Mount Books and Accessories. Keep the wrist receiver within
the transmission range (3 feet / 1 metre).
It is recommended that you wear the transmitter against your bare
skin to ensure flawless operation. However, if you wish to wear the
transmitter over a shirt, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes.
It is important that the electrodes are wet during the exercise session.
However, after exercising, take good care of the transmitter to save the
electrodes and battery life:
1. Wash the transmitter carefully with a mild soap water solution.
2. Rinse it with pure water.
3. Dry the transmitter carefully.
