Precautions

Your Polar FT7 training computer is designed to help you achieve personal fitness goals and indicate the
level of physiological strain and intensity during training sessions. No other use is intended or implied.
Minimizing Possible Risks
Training may include some risk. Before beginning a regular training program, answer the following
questions concerning your health status. If you answer yes to any of these questions, consult a physician
before starting any training program.
• Have you been physically inactive for the past five years?
• Do you have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol?
• Do you have symptoms of any disease?
• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
• Do you have a history of breathing problems?
• Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?
• Do you use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device?
• Do you smoke?
• Are you pregnant?
Note that in addition to training intensity, medication for heart conditions/blood pressure/psychological
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, stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity.
If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device, you use the Polar FT7 at your
own risk. Before starting use, take a maximal training stress test under the supervision of a physician. The
test is to ensure the safety and reliability of the simultaneous use of the pacemaker and the Polar FT7.
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 Technical Specifications. To avoid any
skin reaction to the transmitter, wear it over a shirt. Moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure
flawless operation. If you use insect repellent on your skin, make sure that it does not come into contact
with the training computer or the transmitter.
