Polar RS400 Heart Rate Monitor User Manual


 
A cardiac event may have altered your ECG waveform. In this case, consult your physician.
Memory full is displayed?
The message appears during exercise if you have recorded 99 laps or if no memory space is left for the
exercise. In that case, stop recording the exercise and transfer the exercise files from your running
computer to the Polar ProTrainer 5. Then delete them from the running computer.
Check WearLink! is displayed and your running computer cannot find your heart rate signal?
Make sure the running computer is no further than 1 m / 3 ft from the transmitter.
Make sure the transmitter belt has not loosened during exercise.
Make sure the textile electrodes in sports apparel fit snugly.
Make sure that the electrodes of the transmitter / sports apparel are moistened.
Make sure the transmitter / electrodes in the sports apparel are clean and undamaged.
If the heart rate measurement does not work with the sports apparel, try using a WearLink strap. If
your heart rate is detected with the strap, the problem is most probably in the apparel. Please
contact the apparel retailer/manufacturer.
If you have done all of the above-mentioned actions, and the message still appears and heart rate
measurement does not work, the battery of your transmitter may be empty. For further information,
see Care and Maintenance.
Check Footpod! is displayed and speed and distance signals cannot be found?*
Check that the foot pod function is activated in the running computer. If so, the runner symbol
should be displayed on the computer.
Make sure that the foot pod is turned on by pressing and holding the red button on the foot pod.
If the foot pod is on and you either see a red light or no light at all on the foot pod, the battery
needs to be replaced. For further information, see Install Foot Pod Battery.
If you keep the running computer in front of you for longer than 15 seconds, the speed and
distance measurements stop. Reactivate the measurements by moving your hand.
If you are running on a treadmill and have attached the running computer to a crossbar in front of
you, try moving the running computer sideways.
...Footpod calibration failed is displayed?*
Calibration did not succeed and you need to re-calibrate. Calibration fails if you move during the
process. Once you reach lap distance, stop running and stand still for calibration. The range of the
calibration factor during manual calibration is 0.500-1.500. If you have defined the calibration factor
below or above these values, calibration fails.
....Memory low is displayed?
Memory low is displayed when there is approximately 1 hour memory left. To maximize the remaining
memory capacity, select the longest Recording Rate (60 sec) from Settings > Features > Rec.rate. Once
the memory has been depleted Memory full is displayed. To free memory transfer the exercises to Polar
Pro Trainer 5 software and delete them from the wrist unit memory.
*Optional S1 foot pod required.
