POLAR HEART RATE MONITOR AND INTERFERENCE
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
Disturbances may occur near high voltage power lines, electric
railways, televisions, cars, bike computers, some exercise
equipment or cellular phones.
CROSSTALK
The Polar wrist receiver in non-coded mode of operation picks up
transmitter signals within 1 metre / 3 feet. Therefore, make sure no
other transmitter is within that range. Non-coded signals from more
than one transmitter picked up simultaneously can cause an
incorrect readout.
EXERCISE EQUIPMENT
Several pieces of exercise equipment with electronic or electrical
components such as LED displays, motors and electrical brakes
may cause interfering stray signals. To try to tackle these problems,
relocate the Polar wrist receiver as follows:
1. Remove the transmitter from your chest and use the exercise
equipment as you would normally.
2. Move the receiver around until you find an area in which it displays
no stray reading or flashing of the heart symbol. Interference is often
worst right 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 transmitter back on the chest and try to keep the wrist
receiver in this interference free area.
4. If the Polar Heart Rate Monitor still does not work with the exercise
equipment, this piece of equipment may be electrically too noisy for
wireless heart rate measurement.
Notice for persons with pacemakers
Persons who have a pacemaker use the Polar Heart Rate Monitor
at their own risk. Before starting use, we always recommend an
exercise test under doctor's supervision. The test is to ensure the
safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and
the heart rate monitor.
