health. However, if symptoms do appear, stop using the product immediately. To avoid any skin reaction
to the heart rate sensor, wear it over a shirt, but moisten the shirt well under the electrodes to ensure
flawless operation.
The combined impact of moisture and intense abrasion may cause a black color to come off the heart rate sensor's
surface, possibly staining light-colored clothes. If you use perfume or insect repellent on your skin, you must
ensure that it does not come into contact with the heart rate monitor or the heart rate sensor.
Interference During Training
Disturbance may occur near electrical devices. Also WLAN base stations may cause interference when
training with the heart rate monitor. To avoid erratic reading or misbehavior, move away from possible
sources of disturbance.
Training equipment with electronic or electrical components such as LED displays, motors and electrical
brakes may cause interfering stray signals. To solve these problems, try the following:
1.
Remove the heart rate sensor from your chest and use the training equipment as you would normally.
2.
Move the heart rate monitor around until you find an area in which it displays no stray reading or does not
flash the heart symbol. Interference is often worst directly 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 heart rate sensor back on your chest and keep the heart rate monitor in this interference-free area
as much as possible.
If the heart rate monitor still does not work with the training equipment, it may be electrically too noisy for
wireless heart rate measurement.

Troubleshooting
If you don't know where you are in the menu, press and hold the RED button until the time of day is
displayed.
If there are no reactions to any buttons or the Polar Move displays unusual readings, reset the heart rate
monitor by pressing four buttons (UP, DOWN, RED and LOCK) simultaneously for four seconds. The
display will go blank for a moment. Press the GREEN and
displayed. Enter time and date. With long press RED the display returns to time of day view. All other
settings except time and date will be saved.
If the heart rate reading becomes erratic, extremely high or shows nil (00), make sure that there are no
other heart rate sensors within 1 m/3 ft and that the heart rate sensor strap/the textile electrodes fit
snugly and are moistened, clean and undamaged.
Strong electromagnetic signals can cause erratic readings. Electromagnetic disturbances may occur near
high-voltage power lines, traffic lights, overhead lines of electric railways, electric bus lines or trams,
televisions, car motors, bike computers, some motor driven training equipment, cellular phones, or at
electric security gates. To avoid erratic readings, move away from possible sources of disturbance.
If the abnormal reading continues despite moving away from the source of disturbance, slow down and
check your pulse manually. If you feel it corresponds to the high reading on the display, you may be
experiencing cardiac arrhythmia. Most cases of arrhythmia are not serious, but consult your doctor
nevertheless.
If heart rate measurement does not work despite the actions mentioned previously, the battery of your
heart rate sensor may be empty.
A cardiac event may have altered your ECG waveform so that the heart rate sensor is not able to detect it.
In this case, consult your physician.
