Precautions; Troubleshooting - Polar Electro Protrainer NV User Manual

Note: The estimated average battery life
is 2500 hours in all Polar Transmitters. The
Transmitter battery cannot be replaced, which is
why Polar recycles used transmitters with a
refund to the customer. Contact your distributor/
dealer for details.

Polar Protrainer NV HRM is water resistant. You
can wear it for swimming, go off a diving board
with it on, wear it in a rainstorm, or perspire
heavily while exercising without damaging it.
You should not, however, wear it underwater at
any great depth. If you go deep sea diving,
leave your Polar Protrainer NV HRM behind.
Further, do not operate the buttons of the Wrist
Receiver underwater as the pressure may
cause the Receiver to leak. Buttons should only
be pressed when the Receiver is out of water.
If your Polar Protrainer NV HRM does get wet, it
is important to dry it thoroughly before storing it
(Never put a wet Polar Protrainer NV HRM into
an athletic bag or a locker).
The Polar Protrainer NV HRM needs to "breathe".
Never store it in any kind of "non breathing"
material, such as a plastic bag, where moisture
from humid air might become trapped. Store it
in a dry place.
The Polar Protrainer NV HRM Wrist Receiver
34
picks up transmitter signals within 3 feet/1 meter.
Therefore, when you are using your Wrist Re-
ceiver, make sure no other Transmitter is within
that range. Signals from more than one Trans-
mitter picked up simultaneously can cause an
incorrect readout. When your Polar Transmitter
and Wrist Receiver are in use, strong electro-
magnetic sources such as television sets,
electric motors, vehicles, radio and TV masts
and high voltage power lines can cause erratic
heart rate reception.
This can also happen if you attempt to use the
heart rate monitor in an aircraft.
Avoid exposing your Polar Protrainer NV HRM
to extremes of hot and cold, and keep it out of
direct sunlight.
Don't pull clothing on or off over your Polar
Protrainer NV HRM Wrist Receiver repeatedly,
as this may cause static electricity, which can
interfere with its performance, especially if very
low air humidity prevails.
T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G
What if there is some irregularity in
the operation of your Polar Protrainer
NV HRM ?
Start with pressing all the four Receiver buttons
simultaneously to reset it. Thereafter start
programming the Wrist Receiver from scratch.
