What if there is any irregularity
in the performance of your
Polar Sport Tester?
In case of any irregularity in performance, to begin
troubleshooting your Polar Sport Tester, push all
four of the Polar Sport Tester buttons at once and
start programming the Wristh Monitor from
scratch.
This is called Global Clear. When a three-line
display appears, press the STORE/RECALL button,
and 10 o'clock will appear. Start the programming
cycle here with TIME setting.
Note: Global Clear clears all memory
The Global Clear setting is also very useful if for
any reason, you want to start from a zero state
to enter information into the Wrist Monitor's
memory.
What if the heart rate symbol is
not flashing?
Check to see that the elastic belt is tight enough.
The belt should be adjusted so that the
electrodes are flat against your skin and the
tightness is correct, when without stretching, the
ends of the belt are about 15 cm apart from
each others. You may have to move the belt one
way or another to find the best position for the
Transmitter. Make sure that the POLAR-logo on
the Transmitter is in the correct position.
Check that the electrode strips are thoroughly
moistened. The Transmitter will not function
properly without moisture to make good electrical
contact.
Accumulated sweat and dirt

Transmitter. Check to see if
needs washing.
What if the heart flashes
become irregular?
Check to see if your Wrist Monitor is outside the
90 to 110 cm (three and a half foot) range of heart
rate transmission from the Transmitter.
Make sure the elastic belt has not loosened
during exercrse.
If you are wearing the Transmitter over a shirt,
make sure there is moisture to make the needed
contact with the electrodes.
Check your surroundings by taking off your
Transmitter and checking if the heart symbol is
still flashing. If it is, you are in a electromagnetig
field created by other equipment (such as a radio
or television set), move away. If you are near
another person using a heart monitor, move
away.
If none of the above mentioned situations is valid,
consult your physician, because it may be your
heart causing the irregularities.
What do I do if the unit goes
blank?
Try to cross-check both the Transmitter and Wrist
Monitor to locate the reason. Contact your dealer
or distributor for further actions.
