Wear the Transmitter

Wear the transmitter to measure heart rate.
Before starting training recording, you need to wear the WearLink.
1. Wet the electrode areas of the strap well under running water.
We recommend using contact gel (ECG gel) to optimize contact between your skin and the transmitter,
especially during long-lasting events.
2. Attach the connector to the strap. Adjust the strap length to fit tightly but comfortably.
3. Tie the strap around your chest, just below the chest muscles, and attach the hook to the other end of
the strap.
4. Check that the wet electrode areas are firmly against your skin and that the Polar logo of the connector is
in a central and upright position.
Detach the connector from the strap when you are not using it to maximize the transmitter lifetime. See
detailed washing instructions in Care and Maintenance (page 60).
The Polar WearLink transmitter can be used with specific apparel that has built-in soft textile electrodes. Wet the
electrode areas of the apparel. Clip the connector of the transmitter straight onto the apparel without the strap so
that the connector's Polar logo is in an upright position.
