GETTING GOING

1. Attach the Polar Coded
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. Pull 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.
Alternatively, 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.
