TROUBLESHOOTINg

Make sure unit is plugged into a functioning wall outlet.
Connection should be secure and undamaged. Replace adapter
or connection at unit if either are damaged.
All wires in cable should be intact. If any are visibly crimped or
cut, replace cable.
Be sure cable is connected securely and oriented properly. Small
latch on connector should line up and snap into place.
Check for visual sign that console display is cracked or otherwise
damaged. Replace Console if damaged.
If Console only has partial display and all connections are fine,
replace the Console.
If the above steps do not resolve the problem, contact Customer
Care for further assistance.
Be sure cable is connected securely to
Console.
Be sure hands are centered on HR sensors. Hands must be kept
still with relatively equal pressure applied to each side.
Sensors may have difficulty with dried out or calloused hands.
A conductive electrode cream such as "Signa Crème" or "Buh-
Bump" can help make better conduct. These are available on the
web or at medical or some larger fitness stores.
If tests reveal no other issues, Handlebars should be replaced.
Strap should be "POLAR " compatible and uncoded. Make sure
®
strap is directly against skin and contact area is wet.

If interference is eliminated and HR does not function, replace
strap.
If HR still does not function, replace Console.
