2. Rinse it with pure water.
3. Dry the transmitter carefully with a soft towel.
4. Keep the wrist receiver clean and wipe off
any moisture.
5. Store the heart rate monitor in a clean and dry
place. Dirt impairs the elasticity and functioning
of the transmitter. Sweat and moisture can keep
the electrodes wet and the transmitter activated,
which shortens battery life.

Minimizing Possible Risks in Exercising
with Heart Rate Monitor
Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have
been sedentary.
Before starting a regular exercise program you are recommended
to answer to the following questions for health status checking.
If the answer is yes to any of the questions, we recommend to
consult a doctor before starting an exercise program.
• Have you not exercised for the past 5 years?
• Do you have high blood pressure?
• Do you have high blood cholesterol?
• Do you have symptoms of any disease?
• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
• Do you have a history of breathing problems?
• Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?
• Do you use a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device?
• Do you smoke?
• Are you pregnant?
Note that in addition to exercise intensity, medications for heart,
blood pressure, psyche, asthma, breathing etc. as well as some
energy drinks, alcohol and nicotine, can affect heart rate.
It is important to be sensitive to your body's reactions during
exercise. If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when
exercising, it is recommended to stop the exercise or continue
at a lighter intensity.
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.
If you are allergic to any substance that comes into contact with
the skin or if you suspect an allergic reaction due to using the
product, check the listed materials in the "Technical Specifications"
chapter. To avoid any skin reaction risk with the transmitter, wear
it over a shirt. However, moisten the shirt well under the electrodes
to ensure flawless operation.
