We recommend that once in a while you wash the device and the wrist strap to avoid any skin problems from a
dirty bracelet.
INTERFERENCE
Electromagnetic Interference and Training Equipment
Disturbance may occur near electrical devices. Also WLAN base stations may cause interference when training
with the training device. To avoid erratic reading or misbehavior, move away from possible sources of dis-
turbance.
Training equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors and electrical brakes
may cause interfering stray signals.
If the training device still does not work with the training equipment, it may be electrically too noisy for wireless
heart rate measurement. For further information, visit support.polar.com.
MINIMIZING RISKS WHEN TRAINING
Training may include some risk. Before beginning a regular training program, it is recommended that you answer
the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, we recom-
mend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program.
•
Have you been physically inactive for the past 5 years?
•
Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?
•
Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
•
Do you have a history of breathing problems?
•
Do you have symptoms of any disease?
•
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?
Note that in addition to training intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psychological con-
ditions, asthma, breathing, etc., some energy drinks, alcohol, and nicotine may also affect heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body's responses during training. If you feel unexpected pain or
excessive fatigue when training, it is recommended that you stop the training or continue at a
lighter intensity.
Note! If you are using a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device, you can use Polar
products. In theory interference to pacemaker caused by Polar products should not be possible. In practice no
reports exist to suggest anyone ever having experienced interference. However, we cannot issue an official
