Precautions
The Polar training computer shows your performance
indicators. It indicates the level of physiological strain and
intensity during your training session. No other use is
intended or implied.
Minimizing Risks When Training
Training may include some risk. Before beginning a
regular training program, answer the following questions
concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of
these questions, consult a physician before starting any
training program.
• Have you been physically inactive for the past five years?
• Do you have high blood pressure or high blood
cholesterol?
• Do you have symptoms of any disease?
• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
• Do you have a history of breathing problems?
• Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical
treatment?
• Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic
device?
• Do you smoke?
• Are you pregnant?
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.
Notice to individuals with pacemakers, defibrillators or
other implanted electronic devices. Individuals who have a
pacemaker use the Polar training computer at their own
risk. Before starting use, we always recommend a maximal
exercise stress test under a doctor’s supervision. The test
is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous
use of the pacemaker and the Polar training computer.
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.
