• Make sure the textile electrodes in the sports apparel fit snugly.
• Make sure that the electrodes of the heart rate sensor / sports apparel are moistened.
• Make sure the heart rate sensor / sports apparel is clean.
• Strong electromagnetic signals can cause erratic readings. For further information, see Precautions
(page 62).
• If the erratic heart rate reading continues despite moving away from the source of disturbance, slow down
your speed and check your pulse manually. If you feel it corresponds to the high reading on the display,
you may be experiencing cardiac arrhythmia. Most cases of arrhythmia are not serious, but consult your
doctor nevertheless.
• 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 training
computer to the Polar ProTrainer 5. Then delete them from the training computer.

• Make sure that the electrodes of the heart rate sensor / sports apparel are moistened.
• Make sure the heart rate sensor / electrodes in the sports apparel are clean and undamaged.
• If the heart rate measurement does not work with the sports apparel, try using a heart rate sensor 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 heart rate sensor may be empty. For further information,
see Care and Maintenance (page 60).
…New WearLink found. Teach new WearLink? is displayed?
If you have purchased a new heart rate sensor as an accessory, it will have to be introduced to the training
computer. For further information, see Teach a New Heart Rate Sensor (page ).
If the heart rate sensor you are using is included in the product set, and the text appears on the display,
the training computer may be detecting the signal of another heart rate sensor. In that case, make sure
you are wearing your own heart rate sensor, that the electrodes are moistened, and that the heart rate
sensor strap has not loosened. If the message still appears, the battery of your heart rate sensor is empty.
For further information, see Care and Maintenance (page 60).
