Interference During Training; Minimizing Risks When Training - Polar Electro Vantage V User Manual

speed and distance, cadence, location and power output. See
for a complete list of compatible accessories. The Polar training devices with a barometric pressure
sensor measure altitude and other variables. No other use is intended or implied. The Polar training
device should not be used for obtaining environmental measurements that require professional or indus-
trial precision.

INTERFERENCE DURING TRAINING

Electromagnetic Interference and Training Equipment
Disturbance may occur near electrical devices. Also WLAN base stations may cause interference when
training with the training device. To avoid erratic reading or misbehavior, move away from possible
sources of disturbance.
Training equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors and electrical
brakes may cause interfering stray signals. To solve these problems, try the following:
1. Remove the heart rate sensor strap from your chest and use the training equipment as you would
normally.
2. Move the training device around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or
does not flash the heart symbol. Interference is often worst directly in front of the display panel
of the equipment, while the left or right side of the display is relatively free of disturbance.
3. Put the heart rate sensor strap back on your chest and keep the training device in this inter-
ference-free area as much as possible.
If the training device still does not work with the training equipment, it may be electrically too noisy for
wireless heart rate measurement.

MINIMIZING RISKS WHEN TRAINING

Training may include some risk. Before beginning a regular training program, it is recommended that you
answer the following questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these ques-
tions, we recommend that you consult a doctor before starting any training program.
