1. Attach the transmitter to
the elastic strap.
2. Adjust the strap length to
fit snugly and comfortably.
Secure the strap around
your chest, below the chest
muscles. Lock the buckle.
3. Lift the transmitter off
your chest and wet the
grooved electrode
areas on the back of it.
4. Check that the wet electrode
areas are firmly against your skin
and the Polar logo is in a central
upright position.
5. Wear the wrist receiver
as you would wear an
ordinary watch. If you go
biking, you may attach the wrist
receiver to a Polar Bike Mount.
Keep the wrist receiver within
the transmission range (1 metre/3 feet).
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.
It is important that the electrodes are wet during exercise.
After exercising, to preserve the electrodes and battery life:
1. Wash the transmitter carefully with a mild soap water
solution.
2. Rinse it with pure water.
3. Dry the transmitter carefully.
