Using a New Transmitter

When you purchase a new WearLink
®
WearLink + Hybrid transmitter, it has to be
paired with your training computer in order to
measure heart rate.
For instructions on how to pair the transmitter
with the training computer, see your Polar
training computer's user manual.

Using Your Transmitter in Water

Polar WearLink
transmitters can be used in water activities, but
interference may occur for the following
reasons:
• Sea and pool water are very conductive, and
electrodes may short-circuit, preventing ECG
signals from being detected by the
transmitter.
• Jumping or sharp muscle movement may
shift the transmitter so the ECG signals
cannot be detected.
• The ECG signal strength is individual and
depends on tissue composition.
For the best performance, we recommend that
you use a bathing suit and wear the transmitter
underneath.
