1. Check that the electrodes of the transmitter are moistened and
that you are wearing it as instructed.
If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with
the skin, check the Polar heart rate monitor materials from the
“Technical specifications” chapter. 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.
Notice to persons with pacemakers, defibrillator or other
implanted electronic device. Persons who have a pacemaker use the
Polar heart rate monitor at their own risk. Before starting use, we always
recommend an exercise test under doctor’s supervision. The test is to ensure
the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the
heart rate monitor.
The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a
black color, which might stain light-colored clothes especially, to come
off the transmitter's surface.
