Check that the moist electrode areas are
firmly against your skin and that the Polar
logo of the connector is in a central and
upright position. Picture B4.
Detach the connector from the strap and rinse
the strap under running water after every use.
Sweat and moisture may keep the electrodes
wet and the heart rate sensor activated. This
will reduce the battery life.
See detailed washing instructions in the Caring
for Your Heart Rate Sensor section.
Using a New Heart Rate Sensor
When you purchase a new Polar H2 heart rate
sensor, it has to be paired with the training
computer in order to measure your heart rate.
See your Polar training computer's user manual
for instructions on how to take the heart rate
sensor into use.
Using Your Heart Rate Sensor in Water
Polar H1 and Polar H2 heart rate sensors can
be used in water activities with training
computers that use magnetic data transmission.
Please notice that sea and pool water are very
conductive, and electrodes may short-circuit,
preventing ECG signals from being detected by
the heart rate sensor.
When using a bathing suit, the best
performance is achieved by wearing the heart
rate sensor underneath it.
Caring for Your Heart Rate Sensor
The heart rate sensor is a high-tech instrument
that should be handled with care. Follow the
caring instructions to ensure reliable
measurement and to maximize the life span of
the heart rate sensor. The following instructions
will help you fulfill guarantee obligations.
