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 recommend 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 conditions,
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 sug-
gest anyone ever having experienced interference. However, we cannot issue an official guarantee on our products'
suitability with all pacemakers or other implanted devices, such as defibrillators, due to the variety of devices avail-
able. If you have any doubts, or if you experience any unusual sensations while using Polar products, please consult
your physician or contact the implanted electronic device manufacturer to determine safety in your case.
If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with your skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction due to
using the product, check the listed materials in
sensor, wear it over a shirt, but moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure flawless operation.
The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause color to come off the heart rate sensor's sur-
face, possibly staining clothes. If you use perfume, suntan/sunscreen lotion or insect repellent on your skin, you must
ensure that it does not come into contact with the training device or the heart rate sensor. Please avoid clothing with
colors that might transfer onto the training device (especially training devices with light/bright colors) when worn
together.

DISTRACTION

Operating a smartwatch while driving a car, riding a bike, or even running or walking may distract you from your sur-
roundings and cause a dangerous situation. We recommend that you avoid operating the Polar M600 in circumstances
where it may risk your safety. Observe also local laws and regulations prohibiting or restricting the use of electronic
devices, for example, while driving.
