Note that in addition to training intensity, medications for heart conditions, blood pressure, psy-
chological conditions, asthma, breathing, etc., as well as 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 con-
tinue at a lighter intensity.
Note! If you are using a pacemaker 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 suggest anyone ever having experienced interference. We cannot however issue an offi-
cial guarantee on our products' suitability with all pacemakers or other implanted devices due to the vari-
ety of devices available. 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
any skin reaction, stop using the product and consult your physician. Also inform Polar Customer Care
about your skin reaction. To avoid any skin reaction to the heart rate 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 surface, possibly staining light-colored clothes. It may also cause a darker color to come off cloth-
ing, possibly staining lighter-colored training devices. To keep a light-colored training device glowing for
years to come, please make sure the clothing you wear while training does not bleed color. If you use per-
fume 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. If you train in cold conditions (-20 °C to -10 °C / -4 °F to 14 °F) we recom-
mend that you wear the training device under the sleeve of your jacket, directly on your skin.
