1.4 WEARING YOUR TRANSMITTER

Coded heart rate transmission reduces interference from other heart rate monitors that are close by. To make sure that the
code search is successful and to ensure trouble-free heart rate monitoring, keep the cycling computer within 1 meter/
3 feet of your transmitter. Check that you are not near other people with heart rate monitors or any source of electromagnetic
disturbance. For further information on interference, see Precautions on page 60.
To measure your heart rate, you need to wear the transmitter.
1. Moisten the electrode areas of the strap under running water and make sure that they are
well moistened.
2. Attach the connector to the strap. Position the letter L on the connector next to the word
1.
LEFT on the strap and snap the fastener. Adjust the strap length to fi t snugly and
comfortably. Secure the strap around your chest, just below your chest muscles, and snap
the second fastener.
3. Check that the wet electrode areas are fi rmly against your skin and that the Polar logo of the
2.

your hand as indicated in the picture.
Note: If the cycling computer does not display your heart rate, make sure that the transmitter electrodes are moist
and that the strap is snug enough.
